TED Ed - Three ways the Universe could end


Do you know how the universe is going to end?

This is the question TED ED asked us when we started working together. This video explains how our universe works and the three different theories of how it might end one day (spoiler alert: we're still several billion years away!). The project was directed at Antimatter, with me acting as the creative director, illustrator and animator. The soundtrack was made by our dear friend André Aires, from AIM Creative Studios, and it will blow your mind.

It was an amazing project to work on and being the astronomy fan that I am, the theme was perfect! I had a lot of fun trying out visual looks for the video and working on a scale as big as the universe itself, it was very interesting to create abstract and minimal shapes that would help better understand the different theories. 

I believe information should be available to everyone so I'm very happy to be able to contribute to the TED ED series. This is my first big project and it was definitely a challenge, but I'm very proud of the results. 

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!







Thank you for watching!
