An interactive short film created for Amazon Alexa and Echo platforms (audio-only and video versions, allowing access on any Alexa or Echo device) with ports for Eko.com and YouTube.
Polybius is an interactive, choose your own adventure short film that I created as my graduate project during my time at Bournemouth University. Within this project, I took the role of Video Editor, Project Manager, Writer, Final Sound Mixer, VFX Artist and many more roles.
The project had an incredible scale for its zero budget. With a crew of over 50 including cast, three days of shooting and, myself hitting picture lock in 17 days, Polybius is the most ambitious and adventurous project I have created to date and I look forward to down the line creating another interactive movie, but going even bigger in terms of script, scope and, design.
If you wish to learn about the creation of Polybius, I created a website detailing every step of the production process including pre-production, production, post-production, actually making the movie interactive and, porting the short film to the various delivery platforms:
Various Ports
As mentioned, Polybius was created for a variety of platforms, below I will link each version of that interactive short film.
Eko - This is the best way of playing Polybius on a browser or mobile phone.
YouTube - The YouTube version was created to reach a wider audience, if I was to create a bigger project I would negate a YouTube version. Amazon - To access this on your device, the user must enable "Polybius" in your Alexa skills and then say "Alexa, open Polybius". Linked is the Amazon store page of Polybius.
