Eons (2024) explores creation, evolution, and the underlying energy propelling existence. The three-dimensional orb, transitioning from defined to abstract forms with earth tones and rays of light inside, symbolizes enduring power and immense periods of time. The original score by Batbirds featuring a live cello guided by low-frequency sound stimulation and atmospheric principles, orchestrates shifts in movement and emotion, synchronizing with the evolving visual narrative. The film invites viewers on a journey of introspection and tranquility.

FAQ

What software was used to create the animation?

The animation was created using a 3D plugin called Yanobox Storm which runs in After Effects.

What inspired the visual aesthetic?

The visual aesthetic was inspired by the organic patterns and textures in nature, particularly water. Having spent countless hours photographing natural forms in macro, I've always been drawn to the qualities and hidden details revealed through close observation.

How did you collaborate with Batbirds to create the score?

Batbirds and I had already been collaborating on a series of shorter videos, sharing a common vision of creating healing experiences that were more authentic and reflective of life's complexities. The collaboration on 'Eons' happened organically. I had just begun the initial animation and, on a whim, sent it over to Aaron. He immediately responded, saying the music they were working on fit the tone perfectly. I agreed, and we started shaping the visuals and music together, allowing each element to inform and enhance the other.
