F451 | WA Visual Company / Seiji Anderson + David Weinstock
Ray Bradbury’s visionary novel, Fahrenheit 451, serves as an ever-relevant warning against a society built on censorship and anti-intellectualism. WA Visual Company endeavored to revisit this story as a short film created through the lens of contemporary science fiction design.
What began as a personal project to explore character design and modeling expanded to a short 3D animation that brought together a team of passionate collaborators exploring the world of Fahrenheit 451 in the language of a film or tv series trailer.
For Seiji Anderson and David Weinstock’s first short created under a collaborative moniker, WA Visual Company worked with Unreal Engine to push their limits of real-time rendering while using a mix of other software packages like Houdini and Blender when traditional offline rendered workflows were appropriate.
