‘Fraktaal’ is a fantasy sci-fi short without a story.

I borrowed the aesthetic from Science Fiction films, and isolated that into something that I hope will stimulate the imagination into its own spacefaring journey.
It so happens that I’m a lazy animator.
Using fractals, I can conjure up entire worlds without having to draw or model anything. These shapes hide in the formulas, they exist in a mathematical reality, all I need to do is explore those worlds and make them reveal themselves. For me, that discovery has become one of the most thrilling aspects of digital filmmaking.

Due to the phenomenon of Convergent Evolution, we can expect to see familiar shapes on planets in distant solar systems. Like on this one, where everything is connected.

Fractals can be amazing, but they have their way of dazzling you with more visual detail then you can possibly absorb, or using fast changing colors and music to keep the mind entertained.
What I tried to do here is to slow down time so much that the fractal morphs almost unperceivably , while keeping visual detail fresh and clear enough to keep your eyes darting around the (big, 1080p) screen for a while. I believe that this way, we are more focused and this state opens and stimulates the mind in a different way.
Give me eight and a half minutes of your time, and I hope to bring you a different and profound experience.
