Experience   Every   Death   in   4D!

In early 2025, I worked with Loop and Warner Bros to animate an advertisement for the 4DX version of Final Destination: Bloodlines, their new horror film, to post on social media. You know, those theater seats that toss you around and spray you with funky smells?

These chairs. Nobody had a 3D model of them so I had to figure out how to model and texture the whole thing from a few pictures.

Loop pitched the concept of the Death Chair (a 4DX chair that literally kills you by timing each death with the movie) to Warner Bros and they surprisingly approved! The plan was to show several bizarre ways the chair kills you, some with nods to past movies from the series. Jon Ryan at Loop provided me with a script (and later sound designed the video), which I tweaked to make the animation easier to make and flow better. I had TWO WEEKS to make it, but I got it done!

The video blew up really quickly on every social platform, far exceeding my expectations! Since the ad performed so well, Warner Bros' other accounts started posting it too. It's hard to calculate, but to date, it has over..

Here are some of the comments:

The video performed so well that the 4DX company put out a press release saying it was one of their biggest opening weekends *ever*, and credited the ad for driving traffic to the theater!

Putting "went VIRAL" on my resumé

Huge shoutout to the team at Loop (Especially Nick, Ness, Jon, Luke, & Mila!) for collaborating with me along the way!
