Earth is at war.
Our explorer Zack was warned not to leave, but reality has become such a mess that simulated worlds suddenly seem like the more sensible option.
Project Simulator is a silly sci-fi short created in a 2D anime style. It was made as a filmmaking experiment using Seedance 2 with my remaining Higgsfield credits for the month, and a little bit of After Effects treatment too.
It's a tiny story about space exploration, escapism, and choosing literally anywhere else over reality.
The character is voiced by me, and the whole project came together in under 4 hours.

◆ HELP THE CHANNEL ◆
I'd like to put more time into the channel but have a very limited amount of time to do it. If you're enjoying the work, get subscribed, share it around social media. The higher the view and sub count goes, the higher the chance this channel will keep ticking along.
