Our Tasks

Lighting

The main role of lighting besides making the target visible is to create shadows which will help to establish the mood as well as the three dimensional feeling to the film, preventing it from being perceived as flat moving images.

editing
Figure 2: Through editing, we were able to rotoscope the main character and create visual effects.

Editing

Editing is a crucial procedure in producing film because not only does it connect the film together, it will remove unnecessary parks and can create visual effects. Even if the film is shot poorly, which was not the case for this production, editing can elevate a film allowing it to surpass even the best footage shot from the most expensive cameras.

shooting location
Figure 3: The majority of the film was shot inside a truck container.

Set

The majority of the film was shot inside a truck container. We had to borrow a generator to provide electricity for our lights as power outlets were not accessible. Once the doors of the truck container is closed, it is pitch black so large lighting kits were a requirement for this film to be possible. We carefully planned the shooting date so the weather is nice and we will have access to the lights and the generator.
