Robert Rodriguez’s The Limit - VR Film
STX
Double Negative
Double R
I created these style frames for The Limit using particle trails shooting down a tube all being effected by sample frequencies of the score.
The direction shifted more techno for the full sequence execution. The idea was that we are experiencing the consciousness of a cyborg booting up. The viewer is shooting down an organic fiberoptic cable and an audio generated weave follows, growing toward the end of the tunnel. A reverse “light at the end of the tunnel” vibe. These stills were captured from the VR sequence.
