A strange man builds a world using holographic tools for the woman he loves.

This award winning short was created by filmmaker Bruce Branit, widely known as the co-creator of '405'. World Builder was shot in a single day followed by about 2 years of post production. Branit is the owner of Branit VFX based in Kansas City.

    Stylish editing and VFX and beautiful story.
    2 years of postproduction? That's commitment!
    Great job!

    Absolutely stunning, and a touching (albeit slightly cliché) story as well. I wish they had spent a bit more time and care on the sound effects and music though, since they are not of the same quality as the rendering and compositing.
  • nvidia2008 3 years ago
    Hmm... Music and sound effects had a deft touch and was just nice. IMO.

    This is awesome! back in the days 405 was one of my biggest inspiration!
    It's good to know you are still in the scene creating amazing projects.

  • Ben Munkres 3 years ago
    This is simply awesome - it is so awe inspiring and the work is clean and the concept is very unique. I would love to see a full feature length based on this! You deserve it if anyone does... it's kinda selfish of me though because then we would have the privilege of seeing your work come to life in this way.

    405 rocked - World Builder went into the stratosphere-

    Cheers!

    The short is absolutely superb, it really made my day. On the creative side, it feels great to watch a movie that also has a message to convey. On the technical side, everything looks great, it would be nice if you'd find the time to come up with a "Making of" DVD.

    Very good ! The only thing i would change if i was the man is:

    If i could create a new world, why would i recreate a normal,tipical,common world ? I would create a totally new,colorfull,surreal,irreal,groovy,cartoony,magic world.
    other than that great job !

    Just one thing i don't understand: in the end they have the sound of an artificial respirator but there is not any mask on the face of the woman. It is the only one mistake i can note.
