Genesis, a take on the lore and back story behind the Planetside games and universe.
Genesis differs slightly from the official lore on 2 fronts; humanity actually unites into the Terran Republic not because of survival and to divert disaster (though earth's resources do run out due to centuries of conflict), but because of the wormhole appearing/reappearing which posed an "intelligent" threat. Lastly, I do not touch on the fact that an ancient Vanu artifact was found in the Kuiper belt which ultimately led Connery (after serving his presidency) to fund and lead the expedition through the rift.
This was created to shed some light on an amazing story that is often overlooked in my opinion by the PS community. The project took roughly 2 months to make and went through 4 major iterations, 4 voice actresses (until finding the perfect one) and a complete restart. This was very, very, very much work. Initially it started out as a very short video dramatizing the events before humanity entered the wormhole leading to the galaxy containing Auraxis, to what it is now. As I picked up After Effects and grew with the program, Genesis eventually grew in scope as well.
I hope you guys really enjoy the video, I know the 3 of us enjoyed making it the entire way through.
Little fun fact for anyone who made it this far: The planet at the end in the credit sequence is in fact, actually Auraxis, the same planet in the wormhole!
