"The story of a lone cat who roams around a post-apocalyptic city. Their exploration exposes the actual cause of the apocalypse while venturing through the destruction left after the mysterious event."

Abstract:

Catastrophe by Allen Medel Ashlyn Koh and New Charttiwong utilises visual effects, 3d environments and character design combined with the advanced gaming software, Unreal Engine 5. The narrative is a visually immersive, short animated film that tells the story of a lone cat who roams around a post-apocalyptic city. Their exploration exposes the actual cause of the apocalypse while venturing through the destruction left after the mysterious event. The story is set from the cat's perspective, withdrawing any narration or dialogue. This proposes my research question.

Question:

How can I create a 3D animated short film, utilising visual narrative, focusing on cinematography, the character design of a curious cat, and world-building of post-apocalyptic environments?
