My narrative follows the life of a scientific inventor who is working on the greatest experiment of his lifetime. He is on the brink of creating a device that will allow him to step foot into alternate realities. The experiment he is conducting is based the experiment by Erwin Schrödinger (Schrödinger’s cat theory). This is essentially when you don’t know what the state of an object is, then all possibilities simultaneously exist until you find out the state of the given object. The protagonist later transports himself to a reality that has turned into a doomed wasteland and struggles to find his way back to his own reality.
The concept behind my animation is to highlight social and environmental problems the world is currently facing, specifically climate change. The planet is in serious risk of irreversible damage due to the burning of fossil fuels, production of methane gas from farming and just from short sighted large corporations not thinking about the future, only about money. The world’s waters, trees, air are all being destroyed and only until recently people are starting to wake up. The aim of the animation is to showcase a future where people haven’t changed their ways resulting in a doomed existence for future generations and the planet.
