PLEASE NOTE: I DID NOT WRITE, DIRECT OR MAKE THIS FILM, I MERELY PRODUCED THE VISUAL EFFECTS SEQUENCES!

Directed by Henry Scholfield of Holse Productions, this short film tells the story of a young hedge fund manager, recruited into a company that fast becomes not what it seems. Over the course of his employment he realises that something more sinister is at play, with robots cybernetically enhancing the employees to increase their productivity.

I produced all the visual effects sequences from conception to final post production. My work was produced using 3D Studio Max & After Effects. The effect of the arm cut-open was achieved by using green screen paint where the the robotics and arm internals were to be seen, this was enhanced with some make up and prosthetic flesh for the skin folds.
I also produced the title sequence and a visual effects shot of a robotic LED burrowing up inside the protagonists wrist.
In March 2008 the visual effects in this short was shortlisted by a panel of industry experts for the Escape Awards 2008.

Location: London. The story takes place in a 1950’s view of the future where tin robots are commonly seen working with man. After a comet hits the earth all technology mysteriously stops working. London is plunged into the dark ages. With no machines, no robots, no electricity, not even working cars, the people flee the city in search of a place unaffected by the mysterious comet. London is left empty and quiet for many years until today, when the old tin robots suddenly wake up!
