human slaughter


Cloud Atlas

So after much deliberation and after researching into the slaughter process of animals in the meat and poultry industry i've decided to create an 'Awareness' animation, one that is deep in the uncanny valley but also asks various questions about the concerns of slaughter in this day and age. like this:

What if it was humans instead of cows?

I know its quite a morbid thought, but it has to be disturbing to invoke the questions that i need to raise from the audiences mind, similar to the film inception: I need to plant the seed of an idea

Here is an example that was very much disturbing for me, and am sure for many others. its a clip from the film Cloud atlas, the scene is of a human slaughter house, these humans are cloned in order to be slaves and then slaughtered to feed the others.




This clip has the same dramatic and gory feel that i want to achieve with my animation, i want people to want to look away whilst still being fixed onto the screen.

I will create a mock scene, using Newplast to create the humans as it is very malleable and easy to animate. 

First i need to figure out how realistic I want the humans to be in order to avoid any unwanted ethical or psychological concerns.
