These Proof-of-Concept Shorts were an experiment in storytelling, film production and FX compositing. The goal was to create a compelling story with zero-budget film with only a green screen and a team of volunteers.
Each short had to adhere to the following objectives:
Sets had to fit within a 15-20 ft green screen stage.
Each short had to use the same actors in different roles.
Actors had to provide their own costumes.
Props had to be owned or built from existing materials
All the shorts had to be shot on the same day.
Final edit had to be less than 3 minutes in length.
The results of this experiment are below:
