OMEGA – A Stop Motion Animated Short

Bart ·

omega_posterThe end of evolution awaits in a wasteland dominated by bizarre trash formations, dust and rock. From the scattered remains of a long forgotten culture an electric ecosystem rapidly evolves into the ultimate form of existence…

The mechanical life form Ohm inhabits a bleak and devastated planet. The thousands of mechanical creatures of this world share a single cycle of energy. In this cycle, Ohm is a rogue element. His nature is to devour and absorb others. When one day a gargantuan foreign object appears in the skies. Drawn in by mysterious creatures of light, the Ohm tracks them across the planet, changing the known order of matter, time and space.

Andy Goralczyk has finished his epic project and he’s going to blow your mind!

Andy writes:

Our epic 18 minutes Stop Motion / Blender short film OMEGA is finally out online!

The film is a mixture of traditional stop motion and CGI, it features elaborate set extensions, miniatures, puppets composed with computer generated backgrounds and a lot of weird creatures!

It was produced between 2009 and 2012 and we were featured here every now and then. We used Blender alongside After Effects for compositing (that was before the compositor got its speed upgrade, now we would probably use Blender only). The last two scenes are entirely CG – animated and rendered in Blender.

Directed by Eva Franz and Andy Goralczyk this extraordinary animated short film fuses high-end CGI and photographic images, miniature sets and traditional stop-motion puppet animation.

Cheers!

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
