An animation and Special Effects project about a discarded hand in a cyberpunk future that is taken over by parasitic electronics.
Our goal was to tell a story capturing a cyberpunk aesthetic using older scrap electronics and colorful futuristic lighting. The film takes place in a dystopian future, following the main character of a skeleton hand which becomes animated by electronic detritus. The hand escapes the garbage and begins to infect a skull with its technology virus.

Andrew Chang – Props – Acquired the Skeleton Hand and Skull and helped disassemble our old electronics so they could be attached onto the robotic glove. He also assembled gobo with light gels and worked with the skull to puppet it.
Maddie Duque – Project Manager and Editor – Helped keep group focused on direction of the movie and keep our narrative and aesthetic moving forward. Also edited our footage in Adobe Premiere and wove in the music and sound effects.
Me – Sound Design and General Lighting – Created music using GarageBand and edited sound effects to match the scenes we filmed. I also set up the lighting for most of our shots including gels and filters.
Sydney Ayers – Hand Model and Electronics – Wore the robotic glove in most of our scenes and actuated the fingers. Additionally wired up LEDs to give the illusion that portions of the hand could function. She was also instrumental in creating the hand mold for the gelatine hand prop.
A Daily from our WIP. Music is a placeholder. (Osamu Sato – Mayday)
