About Falling Items
Falling Items is a film consisting of a series of short animations that reveal the essence of ‘rendering’, which is the process by which images are generated based on data. The animations show how items, characters and environments are rendered in the video game industry.
The animations trace the evolution of computer-generated images, from the nostalgic simplicity of Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo 64 console to the high-definition worlds of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Falling Items reveals how three-dimensional models are made and emphasises their complex layered nature in a time when computer-generated images have become indistinguishable from reality.
