ECHOES - Animated Sci fi short film

Echoes is an animated short film telling a music driven journey through space and time, following a mysterious wanderer who's looking for the most quiet place in the universe.
The film have mostly been produced using After Effects and was an opportunity for me to experiment a one man adventure into producing my very own animated short film. I hope you'll enjoy this short journey as much as I loved creating it and that it will offer you a little peaceful and quiet moment.
The music was an essential piece of the project and occurred as the first step into this film production journey. You can find more tracks related to this journey on my soundcloud (link below) to continue the quest.

Well, I haven't a clue what it was about, but it looked to be very well done.

While I never got the feeling he was "looking for the most quiet place in the universe", the audio and visuals were very well done, and compelling. I hope to see more of your work 'in the future'... :)

@hb-youtube 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed on both counts..The Vacuum of space is already extremely quiet..So while I respect the artist's choosing their own title, for me it works if I mentally substitute "the most peaceful place in the universe"...an inherently personal (subjective &based on one's mind's state) framing rather than "the most quiet" but as you said the images and music were really creative and beautiful.

Beautifully put together. The image at 2:32 is particularly awesome. Not the only one. The pace and taste of the music score is most welcome from too many Sci-Fi shorts and films being saturated with hyper-bombastic noise.

@martialcoulon18 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for the awesome kind words, I'm so happy you liked the score and the pace of the film. Seems like it's a bit dividing but I'm glad when someone's getting what's the intent was without feeling like they wasted time watching. At the end it's just an attempt to offer a peaceful moment in space, listening to soothing melodies and enjoying some carefully crafted visuals. I'm grateful if you got that. Thanks!

If Johnny bravo had a leaner brother that's him in this. I loooove the pads and reverbssss and music. After watching this x2. It shows the spacecraft's plural flying in space twice. Once on a picture on his desk in his mother ship and once more when he walking on the earth. Now to me if I were try to figure out some story believe I enjoyed this regardless but there must be a deeper meaning to this bit other than for some cool creative scenerios/shots and good music. If those spaceshifts that looked like shooting stars were key to this animated film. I think those were like him the first humans to populate planet earth. In other words he found out that everyone was going to earth and he got right to it and dipped and found first piece of land which he wanted when he arrived. Orrrrr The end in his room with rain and his desk and coffee and building in background which suggests modern day. He is simply day dreaming of some cool stuff. Either way dope film!

@martialcoulon18 2 жыл бұрын

I'm so pleased about your comment as this was one of the main objective in developping this film. You couldn't make me happier. For the record, while sketching some visual and narrative ideas for the film I mostly worked on some muscial pieces to define the mood, pace and feeling of the journey I wanted to depict, and then it evolved in parallel for a while until it came to a point where the visuals were the main focus. Of course at the end there have been some tweaks to polish the whole thing as much as possible. Thanks!

Hard to say exactly what synth I used as its a big mix of lots of things, from samples to various digital synths. What I can say though is that I created it using Maschine, with a bunch of Native instruments awesome vst and synth among other personnal recordings. Hope it helps a bit.
