For most of the CGI in the film I used a technic referred to as machinima, a method where you use modification of the game (GTA5) to produce video content.
These are the parts I couldnt do via Machinima, so I used classic CGI tools like C4D, Redshift and After Effects.
Platform is based on documentary interviews with freelancers on online delivery platforms and interweaves their experiences with references to Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash, a visionary 1992 cyberpunk that has come to occupy the status of a Silicon Valley bible. The film explores the extent to which the dystopian capitalist cyberpunk nightmare described in the novel corresponds to the real capitalist nightmare in which we already live.
