Go Behind-the-Scenes of AiG Short Film New Beginning

This short film follows Shem’s wife as she writes down her memories of the evils of the pre-flood world and her time on the ark, and her perspective on the new world they’re now living in. New Beginning really brings the account of the flood to life and offers a fresh and thoughtful perspective I believe you will enjoy.

You can watch the trailer of this film below:

New Beginning was largely an in-house project, with many of the characters—including the lead—being played by Answers in Genesis’ employees in departments as diverse as international outreach, IT, fabrication, Answers magazine, and more. They did a phenomenal job, and we’re thankful for their hard work and dedication to this project.

The set, costume, and prop designs were also done by the talented team in our design studios. Unbelievably, the pre-flood world set was constructed almost entirely of cardboard and foam, but you’d never know it by looking at it! The ark scenes, along with the pre-flood world sequences, were also filmed in our design studio on a specially built set that could actually rock and move. The outdoor scenes were filmed at a beautiful location in Washington state.

These three videos will give you a fascinating look behind the scenes at just some of what it took to bring this film, and the vision behind it, to life.

Eventually, a longer version of this intriguing film will be played for guests to enjoy at the Answers Center, our state-of-the-art, 2,500-seat multi-purpose auditorium under construction at the Ark Encounter.
