Nuclear Picnic AD

I made this fake AD in a weekend to pitch a short film idea to my thesis group. A lot of the inspiration for it comes from 2000s Adult Swim bumpers with strange music and strong visuals that made it feel like an unforgettable fever dream. One that you came back the next night to search for again.

This video in particular was a big frame of reference for this project: https://youtu.be/fxfwbgvnbs4?si=HArcuYDcjtCE8gQi

So was this one for it's in your face style and blink or you'll miss it speed for all of it's visuals: https://youtu.be/XneTYmhZqYw?si=keQZ4JUVwC7M9gaw

The song is SHMEGA (Intro) by Elle Deathmachine (https://youtu.be/3tlgQmd-9IQ?si=-HRAq-51U1mk3Aav). This song came up randomly on my Spotify dashboard and felt so perfect that I jumped to make this AD the second I got home. The droning sirens and hypnotic drum rhythm felt so right for the project, I couldn't help myself.

Once I get out of the thesis project jungle or have time on my hands, I'd love to make more of these type of projects for myself. Loved doing this!
