This Looks After Effects’ed of the Day: The mermen surf, while the world burns.
YouTuber keef70 offers some context for his masterfully After Effects’ed GoPro surf video, “Apocalypse Later, Surf Now”:
The machines in the distance are oil rigs, their cylindrical legs allow them to walk/float anywhere in the ocean and [they] have sucked the Earth dry like locusts. The airships aren’t an invading force, but a massive evacuation by other humans trying in vain to escape the meteor hellstorm raining down.
Music: ”The Whales” by The Mermen.
