„The Last Invention“ – the final bachelor project of five students of the University of Applied Sciences Salzburg – deals with the destruction of humanities future. It is a fully computer-generated animation short, which was produced during the studies of the students from July 2020 until May 2021. Actual Production due to an obligatory internship semester and other university related projects started in January 2021. With the Covid-19 Pandemic it was additionally a challenge to complete this projects since all team members worked from home and we only could communicate online. In the short the main protagonist wanted to create an invention – seen as the reactor in the film – that would be a solution for an environmental-friendly, cheap and inexhaustible energy source by manipulating the time and gaining energy from the future. Even though he already knows that there could be destructive consequences of his invention – seen in the foreshadowing scenes in the short – he still activates his machine and obliterates the whole humanity. The main theme of this short are the destructive consequences of inventions, which should be a metaphor for the current extensive destructions of our planet – and our future – caused by constant striving for creation and producing new things. Success and the own advantages of newly created inventions are far more important for business nowadays than the survival of our planet and the future of humanity.
