Description

Learning about the possibility of other Psyche creation stories, led me to create a 3D animation to explore the protoplanet collision scenario.

The composition features two protoplanets crashing as they burst into light in the colors of Psyche. Being inspired by product advertisements, I made the camera move through the scene to invite the viewers into the experience. To immerse further, I added an explosion sound and background noise to make everything feel cohesive.

The animation was created in Blender by taking two spheres and adding textures to them. Then, I animated a fracture sequence around the planet’s core lighting. Lastly, the render was taken to Premiere Pro to fix dimensions and attach audio to the sequence.
