Originally conceived by Da’Nici (Denis Carreras), “Alluring Continuity” traces the journey of a simple seed, nestling dormant in the dark earth, yet pulsing with potential, no bigger than the raindrop that awakens a transformation.
As the seedling sprouts, tentacled milky roots pierce the nether depths to harvest the soil's nutrient treasures whilst wispy green tendrils clamber to the surface where stems, like skyward spires, spear sunward, to unfurl blades of breathing leaf that harness light from its sun-kissed skin. This budding rapture culminates in an epiphany of color, crowning the final journey with fragrant plumes and flower blooms.
This wondrous alchemy of nature transmutes the elements of earth and sky into the sugars and oxygen that sustain all life and even into an aesthetic of efflorescence that nourishes the soul. Yet as the cycle of life shadows the change of seasons, flowers fade and leaves wither, but not before a promise of future rebirth is bequeathed in a simple seed, ensuring a fragile permanence and alluring continuity.

Behind the Scenes
Programs used:
Blender, FL Studio, FinalCutProX
“Alluring Continuity” is the result of 8 months of collaborative work between AttaBotty and Da'Nici.
At 42.17 seconds, this piece is comprised of 1025 frames that were specifically designed to be appreciated one-by-one as individual paintings.
Every detail down to the leafs, stems, flowers, trees and blades of grass were hand drawn, painted and separately animated.
Using a total of 777 layers of color, it required 702,846 strokes and 180 independent objects to complete this animation. Because every object is uniquely animated, the true combined total of frames for this piece is 71,766.
