EverCast

Imagine having a conversation with your ancestors

You can't. But your great-great-great-grandchildren could have one with you. EverCast is our 2019 concept for a legacy your family can talk to, with an opening film we made by hand in After Effects.

Imagine asking your great-great-grandmother how she met her husband, and hearing her answer in her own voice, with her own laugh. You can't. But your descendants could do exactly that with you.

EverCast: the opening film on the concept website, made in After Effects in 2019

There is a proverb: every time a person dies, a library burns. EverCast is our answer to it. It guides you through telling your life on video, one question at a time: the stories, the lessons, the words you would want heard at a wedding you won't be at. Those recordings become an avatar of you that your family can sit down with. They ask a question, and you answer.

The concept: learn to tell your stories, build your avatar, and place them on the world story map

Some stories stay with the people you choose. Others can go on a world story map for anyone to find. Either way, what you know doesn't leave with you.

A frame from the opening film

The website opens with a film: an eye, a galaxy, the EverCast mark drawn in light. We made it by hand in After Effects in 2019, years before AI could generate video. Every frame was designed and animated by people.

EverCast is a Digital Mycelium concept from 2019. We came up with it, designed it, made the film and built the website, which you can visit. The app hasn't been built yet. We believe the world needs it, and we intend to build it.
