Object Agency
Object Agency is an ongoing project since 2018 dealing with themes of animism, alienation, religion, environmentalism and identity
Creation of characters and environments through means of video game/3D software
Description of videos below:
I. ObjectAgency_PlayerMovementTest017 (2024)// EO is the main character of Object Agency, through which the virtual world is explored in a third-person video game fashion.
This short video is a test, showcasing live movement with physics animation within Unreal Engine.
II. Orchid Photosynth is a 2024 mini film which formally introduces the Orchid character into the world of OA
It is the first finished film since the initial Object Agency films from 2018 (watch these below)
III. Bunnyslug (2023) is a squishy nudibranch-inspired character made in 2023, it is seen moving through a bathroom which is part of the OA world
The bathroom is a fully procedural environment, all textures are custom made in Substance Designer and the environment is entirely built in Houdini.

The three videos below are the foundation of Object Agency, created 2018-2019
although technically and aesthetically rudimentary compared to recent work, they play an important role in the development of the project.
The three images below correspond the the above videos, each short film was launched at an event taking place in Glasgow 2018-2019
