Narrative short film
Shoes & Coffee
PlaceholderA short film about grief. After the death of a friend, the protagonist finds an alternate reality where events unfolded differently — until it begins to break apart.
Overview
A short film exploring grief following the death of a friend. The protagonist encounters an alternate reality where events unfolded differently.
The alternate world first appears oversaturated and perfect, then gradually deteriorates through glitches and visual corruption.
Intended responsibilities
- Editing and structure of the final cut
- VFX and compositing for the alternate-reality sequences
- Colour transformation between the two worlds
- Additional creative responsibilities to be confirmed
Concept
The visual language carries the story: colour is pushed past natural into something too warm and too clean, so that when the image starts to fail, the audience feels the world giving way before the character admits it.
