Evolving Planet Permian Extinction

about the project

The immersive multimedia is played on two large projections with lighting and atmospheric soundscapes showing the cause and effect of the Permian Extinction.

I collaborated with content developers and paleo illustrator, Greer Stothers to create before and after landscapes of the Permian and Triassic period. I also worked with motion designer, Warren Rudd to design and animate volcanoes, climate change, food web, and ocean scenes based off Greer’s landscape illustrations. Music composer, Josh Beck created an atmospheric soundscape including insects, lava, heatwaves, and coal burning to bring the animations to life.
