Taking place in the Earth’s orbit, this visually ambitious movie required our team’s work on almost all shots. To simulate weightlessness is a significant challenge, but the key was the combination of a Phantom camera, able to shoot at 1000 fr/s, and the incredible talent of our artists. Filmed in studio in only five days, this 13-min movie required weeks of work from our team.
A number of visual effects were achieved: modeling of a space ship, planet earth and a mechanical body, creation of matte paintings and set extensions, motion graphic to fill in the various monitors, addition of reflections and lens flares, final compositing, etc. All in all, we created more than 80 visual effects shots for this sci-fi movie that has received an enthusiastic reception in many fantastic films festivals.
