World Builder
March 7, 2009
If you have a bit of extra time this weekend, I recommend that you watch Bruce Branit’s World Builder video.
“A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.”
Many have hailed this video as a look into the possible future of 3D apps (I think that a comparison to level editing tools like UnrealEd would be more fitting). But to me World Builder is something much more important: it’s a testament to what a committed, talented artist can achieve on modern home computers. This short was created by a single guy over the span of two years, and the results are top notch. The tools that he used are accessible to everybody out there with a bit of industry experience. Sure, some of the acting in this film falls a bit flat, but that doesn’t detract from the overall quality of the movie – it’s “professional grade” through and through. And beneath the shiny VFX surface there’s a neat little story, as well. Highly recommended!
