The film I want to produce:
A film of industry standard visuals and usage of compositing techniques, as close as possible.
A character-based film.
The environment (CG) should reflect the inner thoughts of the character.
We explore this environment and them, esp. through pure cinema techniques.
Environments of depth and fog, for example, for a cinematic look.
The character is out of place, or confused, and desires insight or validation, for example.
Comedic, but mysterious in tone...
...The character is self-destructive, but it is a thought that they get what they want...
The team so far:
Director/compositor - Fraser Murdoch
Writers - Fraser Murdoch, Mark Grossi, Tom Paxton...
Director of Photography/cinematographer - Michal Zagorski
3D modeller - Lina Ivanova
(Possible) Assistant director - Kyle Wilson
