A slice of chocolate cake becomes immortalized as a 3D model. As the cake enters the digital realm it transforms into an art object of limitless possibility. Rendering is fun, especially when it involves endless cake! But rendering takes work and a devastating environmental toll. Originally performed as a five minute PowerPoint presentation, then re-cut as a short film with added sound design elements.
