Premise

A teaser for the Real-Time Shorts Challenge.

It reimagines Grace, a VR film by John McInnes, as a close-up study of a digital character, with the camera and light cut to the music.

Rick's contribution

Rick was cinematographer and lighter on the teaser.

  1. Shot the digital character in close-up, from macro skin and crystal detail to full profile.
  2. Lit each moment as its own colour world: amber, magenta, teal and deep blue.
