Session Five - Eye Pitch Sketches

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki

Eye Pitch Sketches <<mike>> Rolling Coal is an animation based around a subculture of diesel truck enthusiasts, who modify their trucks so that an excess of fuel can enter the engine and produce massive volumes of black, sooty, smoky exhaust.

Rolling coal is a physical embodiment of troll culture. It is intended as an act of defiance of environmental regulations and intended by conservatives to infuriate liberals by aggressively blowing into the faces of protestors, cyclists and hybrid car owners.

It is a highly theatrical and provocative action that is emblematic of many strains of conservative American ideology. A sacrifice of non-renewable resources to the Gods of American free-speech.

Rolling Coal will be a 3d animated short film, featuring extended sequences of complex physical simulations of smoke emitting from tricked-out slickly rendered models of diesel pickup trucks.

The animation is intended to appeal to both audiences that would view it as horrific or awe inspiring.
