“Genesis” the animated film about the evolution of humanity
German studio Faber Courtial will premiere its new 360-degree film genesis at the SXSW XR Experience 2022 in March. The build embarks on an emotionally intense 24-hour journey to experience the dramatic milestones in the evolution of the earth and humanity to date. The 360 ° project presents a history of the Earth condensed into a 24-hour format.
“Representing evolution in a 24-hour analogy was an important point of view,” says director Jörg Courtial. “I was drawn to creating an understandable impression of the unimaginable dimension of time and the insane laboratory of life. "Nothing" happened for centuries, life was passive and casual. Then something bizarre happens: an active being emerges, develops consciousness and strategies to challenge the laws of nature. Look at the sky, start wishing, dreaming and imagining. The mind expands to create art, religion: a completely new universe, an abstract world, through pure perception ".
Genesis allows viewers to return to humanity's early days on Earth.
The 13-minute project shows scenes of the young luminous planet surrounded by cosmic debris, as we fly over endless oceans of eternal darkness and move through a magical underwater world. Emerging from the water an enchanted land is revealed: a paradise of prehistoric jungle and giant insects, only to be followed by a mass extinction, only until the beginning of a new cycle that surrounds us of thundering dinosaurs conquering the earth, before even going into extinction.
A collaboration between Faber Courtial and Deutsche Telekom Magenta VR, Genesis joins the ranks of Faber Courtial's acclaimed and award-winning immersive experiences, this time produced in a real-time engine. Courtial's previous projects include Gladiators in the Colosseum VR, Follow Me: Rome and 1st Step VR 3D 360 Degrees.
Faber Courtial will be at booth number 201, at the SXSW XR Experience, located at the Fairmont in the Congressional Ballroom, March 13-15, 2022, 11am to 00pm.
