I'm currently in the process of creating a short film titled "Orange" Here is a small snippet of the progress made so far as well as the synopsis. This projected will be filmed within a virtual production setup.

ORANGE

In the vast loneliness of space, Jon, a trash-removing astronaut, continues a solitary mission aboard a small spaceship. His only
companions are Mittens, a digital pet, and the ship's AI, which attempts, albeit awkwardly, to provide companionship and support.
Jon's days are a monotonous routine of mundane tasks—feeding Mittens, and consuming tasteless meals. The absence of anything to do is part of the job. But it's taking a toll. Jons' loneliness, isolation and growing longing for his distant family cause him to make one small but catastrophically bad decision.

One that could lead to him never seeing his family - or mittens again...

01

MITTENS DEVICE

Video testing creation of a prop. Which is then object-tracked and replaced with a digital copy.

We have decided that given its prominace in screen we will be macking a physical version of this and not relying on object replacments. But rather VFX inhancement of a physical prop.

02

SPACE FOOD

Visual test of the food our main character Jon will eat. Once its been formed like this, we will switch it for an actual bread roll the actor can interact with.

03

INCIDENTAL SHOTS

A selection of shots that we want peppered throughout the film to help build out the world and make it feel plausable.

04

EXTERIOR SHIP

Visual test of the ship performing a "flip and burn" half way through its journey to the space junk.

05

FOOTAGE INTEGRATION

Using a very basic test up we tested how footage will intergrate with the set. This has led us to a tool we intend to use called "switchlight" which will allow us to generate all sorts of useful maps from video footage to allow for even better intergration. The actor is a stand in.

06

INFOMERCIAL

A quick mock up of the instruction video Jon starts to watch. In the final film it will be show on a monitor in the cock pit.

07

COCKPIT TOUR

A very early test of a virtual production tool.

08

GAS GIANT

Look dev on a technique to make a gas giant.
