The rough cut is in place. The next step now is working on the screen recording and putting it into after effects to create the “zooming in effect”.

The initial idea for “Disconnected” was to use the “full screen” screen recording but I realised that with so many things going on the screen, it might be distracting. So instead, it would Read more →

At the initial stage of “Disconnected”, I was largely inspired by this short film, “Noah“, that did storytelling entirely based off a screen recording.

I wrote to the director and editor a couple of days ago asking if they could share the technique of how they did “Noah”. They just wrote back to me and introduced me to the screen Read more →

Final shooting script: Mother

I have also created a props list to keep track of props and art deco: List

So in the previous test, what I did was to photoshop the interface of The Strangers Network, and overlay it with 2 separate video files.

In today’s test, I’ve screen recorded Omegle’s interface and overlay it with pictures and video files. The result can be view here – https://vimeo.com/185126068/c7bb14a403

A bulk of the script was inspired by Abraham’s suicide in order to achieve realism.

Abraham’s reason for committing suicide – “The suicide note stated that he had hurt other people and hated himself for being a failure.”

In this instance, it is a broadcast website, where many people had the opportunity to Read more →

After much deliberation and taking Sebastian’s advice in mind, I contemplated the thought of playing around with the character backgrounds and trying to figure out the different scenarios while keeping the main arc somewhat similar – guy rushes into other house, finds guy dying, interacts. Finds the juxtaposition of the meaning of life. One that wastes his abundance of life Read more →

Thank you guys! Have a fantastic weekend ahead!

I’ve got to admit, I never like to answer these questions. I don’t think I could choose, and at the instance I am asked it the answers just escape me.
