synopsis
Artificial Worlds is the end of the world in a short film. Apocalyptic and nihilstic it shows the world in freefall. Focussing on a group of 8 anonymous souls we witness their last ditch efforts to survive.
short fact
Artificial Worlds 3.0 is another film in my RND# (Random Number) series, which summed up succinctly is a series of films about society versus technology. This film is my comment on the erosion of reality due to the invention of more and more environments designed to take you out of it.

    Saw this at ResFest10 - was one of my favourite films there, and that's saying something.

    Did you think it looked a bit artificial?

    enjoyed the film of the running people, which is quite beautifully done, but found the animation unconvincing
