01 — THE FILM

“In this film we had tested and stretched our skills to make a single live action take fuse seamlessly with rich VFX and stock footage matte paintings. The initial concept came from a print campaign that was transformed into a video.”

This films is about toshiba smart community. We were initially approached to do a series of print ads when the idea to make a film popped up. We worked on a solution that had to fit within a tight budget while also looking expensive with premium VFX. We decided to shoot only the woman touching a dark glass in a small green screen setup and everything else was stock footage altered with matte paintings and CG. We did a great deal of research to find footage that would work in an edit sequence and would tell the story without seeming like it was cobbled together. We think we pulled it off nicely.
