Super exited to announce that Echo is finally finished! It will premiere at 19th of September at the ‘London ACM SIGGRAPH Event ‘ and I will be attending. The film, directed by Victor Perez, is completely filmed with motion control in a Green Screen studio at Stiller Studios. I worked on the Green screen extraction only together with the Lead compositor Richi Paramo. This was especially challenging since the takes were so long. The shots were up to 50sec, and the camera movements was very complex. Moving from Close-up with fine hair detail to a wide-shot and back to closeup again. See the final film below.

Synopsis

ECHO – short film written and directed by Victor Perez– depicts a girl who wakes up in the middle of nowhere to see in a mirror her reflection ten seconds ahead of her time. When she wakes up again the nightmare has just started over.
