Hominidae depicts an ecosystem of x-ray visibility. Creatures have evolved in surprising ways, where humans, birds, spiders and frogs share unique anatomies. This experience follows an Arachnid Hominid, an intelligent creature with human and spider psysiology, as she struggles to raise her young in a hostil eenvironment. The story is told in five vignettes, from the birth of the children to the death of the mother in the teeth of her prey. Hominidae is a CG animated virtual reality film based on the critically acclaimed animated short film Hominid. After premiering in the Electronic Theater at SIGGRAPH Asia in 2012, Hominid went viral in online distribution and was screened in dozens of film festivals. This VR project is currently in production funded by a Project Bluelight grant with a completion date of 7/15/19. Currently seeking funding for marketing and distribution.
