“God Bless Bitcoin” Movie
In the early summer of 2022, Ambient Press was approached by New Roots Films to create 3D animations accompanying interviews in a documentary about the growing influence of Bitcoin in our modern world. What started off as a single 60 second animated clip quickly grew into the largest scale project that our team has tackled so far. By the start of 2024, our team had imagined, story-boarded, and animated over 16 minutes of 3D animated content. Characters, shapes, movement and abstract forms all set in motion to help communicate ideas ranging from the concrete to the cryptic. Below, you can watch a brief cut-down of some of our favorite moments from our work on the film. If you would like to see more, the full documentary can be found here.
As the director and principal artist on these animations, I worked on everything from concept to delivery. Almost single-handedly starting with the core idea, I sketched, edited, modeled, simulated, textured, lit, animated, and composited almost all of the animated shots seen in the film. Ambient Press has published a more in depth breakdown of the process and background on this project that can be found on their website here.
On this project, I worked on the direction and execution of all scenes, almost 17 minutes in total.
The animations were produced for New Roots Films, the production company in charge of directing and producing the movie. More information can be found on the website of New Roots Films or at Ambient.Press
