Log Line
Earth shares its history of multidimensional wars and the children with the only power to save it from destruction.
Synopsis
Cataclysmic events due to attempts of cosmic takeover, hundreds of thousands of years of linear-time-ago, have brought Earth to its knees. Will the worldly dramas, remnants of the forgotten energy wars, condemn Earth to entropy till space-dust-return, or can memories of a disconnected past be rightfully returned in order to activate the DNA of its inhabitants and release them from their re-incarnational prison?

How Was This Film Made?
InfinEights – The Prequel, was written as a poem describing some key events in Earth’s history, as told in the Voyagers I and II books.
The first step was to work with three story consultants to select scenes that would depict and compress these key events into watchable, understandable acts, through words and pictures, which took months and writing and re-writing.
After a few experimental medias, the director decided to tell the story with 2d animation that layered the narrative poem, and found a young, South American animator to realize the vision in a unique, black and white, rare line-drawing type of animation.
Once the animation was complete, a composer was asked to create a cinematic score to compliment the story, and the animation was complete. Believe it or not, this composition was then recorded using a live orchestra.
Finally, the team shot the opening scene of the ‘non-terrestrial reader’ using a greenscreen and some VFX to blend into the overall three-minute short film.
