As promised last week in their teaser trailer, Patrick Clair and Raoul Marks at Antibody are pushing past the confines of their client work “to find new modes of visual storytelling” with a series of ambitious short films.
Patrick Clair: “I’ve been writing and concepting new worlds, while Raoul Marks has been finding new ways to push CG and footage manipulation to bring those worlds to life. They are a little like Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror – each extrapolates the consequences of an emerging technology.
“The films deal with everything from artificial intelligence to the future of warfare, environmental collapse to colonizing mars, genetic engineering to the multiverse. At their heart are characters struggling to make good choices in the face of unstoppable forces. We can’t wait to share them with you.”
