PRODUCTION: No Sunrise Wasted
VFX PRODUCTION: Hinge
In a not-so-distant future, an off-world syndicate of couriers transports precious and illicit packages via inter-planetary portals. They alone hold the secret to the dust that powers them. Our story takes place in the early morning hours, when a disheveled retired bureaucrat wanders through the unfamiliar streets of Neo Tokyo to hand off a mysterious briefcase.
Afuera is a short written and shot by Kevin Fletcher on an In-Camera VFX Volume at Picture This in Portland, Oregon. Learn more about our In-camera VFX and XR production approach for producing commercials, music videos and long form content, and contact us to set up a time to chat.
Hinge supervised on set VFX and created the courier’s transportation portal effects. Using on-set camera tracking data captured in Motive and Unreal Engine, our compositing team integrated the portal and dust particulate into the scenes with displacement and warping effects in Nuke.
