COURSE OBJECTIVE
This short film investigated the built environment of a future Martian civilization by employing a symbiotic organism that would adapt to its environment. A KUKA robotic arm enabled the filming of self-constructed miniature models and terrain pieces. Audio, raw footage, and special effects were compiled with Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro.
