Final Hours In Pompeii, Animated

Australian tech company Zero One Studio created an animation that depicts the destruction of the once glorious city of Pompeii. The video was formed from the bits and pieces of historical evidence obtained by experts through the years. Initially premiered in A Day in Pompeii, an exhibition held at the Melbourne Museum in 2009, the video can also be seen on the studio’s YouTube account. The animated short gives the viewers the perspective of someone atop a villa, watching Mount Vesuvius erupt and destroy the city over the course of 48 hours.
