About the project

A record made against the silence

Discover the original project created by Illia Mitrafanau and follow the complete production path from the first story idea to a finished episode.

The premise

Survival is only the beginning.

Matt Wally, an archivist from Earth in 2067, was meant to wake beside a new human colony. Instead, he awakens on Mars thousands of years later. Humanity has vanished, its settlements have become ruins, and the years between his departure and arrival are missing from his life.

What starts as one man’s fight for air, water and shelter expands into a story of abandoned civilizations, hidden machines, a living Mars and the family one survivor never expected to build.

Production process

How an episode is made

Every release moves through a creator-led sequence of writing, visual development, shot design, editing and sound. These temporary visualizations can later be replaced with real production screenshots.

Story

The process begins with the larger story: the episode’s purpose, its place in the canon and the change it must create for Matt and his world.

Episode script

The story is developed into a scene-by-scene episode script with action, dialogue, pacing and the information the audience should discover.

Character and Martian location concept sheets under visual review
Stage 03 / 09

Visual approval

The appearance of every required character and location is established and approved so the episode has a consistent visual language before shots are built.

Storyboards

Individual storyboard frames are created for every scene. They establish the shot, screen direction and visual rhythm before motion begins.
