A man ends up in a strange place surrounded by long black statues. Then, the enviroment causes the man's perception of time and space is changing. The technique uses a combination of photography, animation and video.
Skrien Augustus 2005: '....ongelofelijke beheersing van de mogelijkheden die de nieuwe media voor film met zich mee brengen...een productie die in zowel vorm
als inhoud zijn tijd vooruit is'. Rebecca Breuer.
International trickfilmfestival Stuttgart 2006: 'In Pendule we see an individual on a dark bizzare, but literally uplifting vision quest, animated and rendered to screen in a visual manner unlike anything we have seen before. We give this film special mention for its incredible look, tone and feel.'

3:19 opens with a 3D vision of the universe in which the earth, its surrounding planets and the sun are all part of a giant mobile that controls time. The intro also contains a 2D animation sequence picturing the beheading of King Louis XVI at the beginning of the French revolution. Created by Muchomotion.
"The stars and planets are a big mobile of the universe, where everything moves perfectly and precise and we humans are part of that big perfect and precise machine, where nothing is a coincidence and chance doesn't exist."
The studio Onesize asked me to create an opening sequence for the film 3:19 directed by the Mexican director Dany Saadia.
