Extra Large Ultraviolet Ray Projector (Impossible)

Finally, this fact can be taken for granted: To build an extra large ultra violet ray projector is quite impossible. Not only would it be against all known laws of physics and common sense, also international weapon regulations forbid it. Therefore, we can only muse about it, letting our minds drift and wonder what if. Meanwhile, somewhere else...


This short animation movie is the result of an assignement by Frank Engeman. We were given three soundfiles around which we are to construct some animation. The weapon of choice is Adobe After Effects. Apart from the given sounds, I used samples from some rare trashy movies and comics found on a fleamarket in Enschede. The latter were scanned, seperated into layers and or parts, placed in the fake-3D of AE and animated. Additionally, I used a virtual camera and different lights. After finishing the individual scenes and rendering them, I assembled the whole thing in FCP. The typeface used is Birch, which comes with some Adobe products. For the aged look I used a free Final Cut plugin. I know, the grainy stuff is a bit to much, but it is un-turn-off-able. Behold! The guinea Pig is immortal!
