Storytelling

No Doubt that game platforms are wonderful story telling devices. This brings the story out of the box. Nice bit of film without dialog. Even better since they did not feel the need to show the game footage.

World Builder

World Builder from Bruce Branit on Vimeo.
1 Day to shoot. 2 years of post production. A beautiful story. The way I want the world to work when it comes to interfaces.

This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.
