It’s done in Blender. There’s a stack of subdivided image planes with the title card on them, half of them flipped horizontally. A reversed, randomized build modifier makes the faces gradually disappear. Then in the compositor, I add the rendered image to a distorted copy of the previous frame to create a basic video feedback loop, which makes it look like the faces are fading away. Finally, the animation is played in reverse so it looks like it’s fading in instead. Pretty janky, but I’m happy with how it turned out.
Best film I’ve seen. Morbius has been real quiet since this dropped.
May I know how you animated the text in the intro? I really love the pixel distortion!
