|
The following report describes the pre -production , production , and post -production of the short film , 8 .BIT .BROS , designed from its inception to fully exploit the years -developed , cumulative and varied skills of its director . The fantastical narrative focuses on the strained emotional dynamic between two adult brothers that have yet to come to terms with having witnessed their father’s death as children . Their trauma is dramatized and encapsulated in the videogame -themed psychotic hallucinations of the film’s protagonist . The director’s specialized skill -set was put to practical use in both the creation of animatronic creature effect , “Commander Gorgo ,” and during the post -production phase of the film , wherein green screen compositing , animation , and motion graphics were used at length to bring the narrative life . |
