Cutting Edge CGI Meets Dance in Rogerio Silva's 'Abaddon' Short

Abaddon is the new short film by filmmaker Rogerio Silva and tells a story of love and destruction. Inspired by relationships that test boundaries and go beyond the acceptable, relationships that reduce, erode and abuse until the spirit is consumed. Abaddon is a place of suffering and purification.

Painstakingly developed over the course of 10 months, Abaddon uses state of the art computer fluid simulation to generate the smoke effects that brings the CGI ghosts to life. Approximately 1400 hours of simulation time were required to process the bespoke effects, generating nearly 5 terabytes of data.
