Synopsis

Free My Soul is a symbolic parody of Australia’s history.  It depicts the struggles that have occurred and offers an opportunity for a contemporary audience to reflect.  
Process:
In-game characters were created through game modification.  I used Adobe Photoshop to modify skins, and modified shaders to strip the game characters of individual identity.  Character movements and shots in-game were set up using console commands, and were recorded using Snapz ProX.  Raw footage was taken into Final Cut and animated scene effects were created using Adobe After Effects.

 

Software

Editing: Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects

Games: Star Wars: Jedi Knight Jedi Academy
