Short Film: To Kill Them All
“To Kill Them All” is an experimental animated short that explores the trajectory of humanity—from its origins to its self-inflicted downfall. Through symbolic sequences and stark imagery, the film questions the cost of progress and the fragility of our existence. This is not just a story—it’s a requiem.
The film was created using a hybrid technique that combines 2D digital animation, generative imagery, and photographic textures. Software tools include Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Blender, enhanced by AI-based visual processing for certain transitions and atmospheric elements.
