I'm posting shots from the trailer here that I worked on. These shots aren't final in terms of compositing and VFX but all modeled art is. These will be replaced as soon as I receive my beauty shots.
The Film
The Darkest Matter is an original feature-length film spotlighting 6-12th grade acting and film production talent. Taught and produced by trained film professionals James Fox, Owner/Director, Dawnrunner Productions and Geoff Peck, Director of Photography, Dawnrunner Productions, the goal of the project was to educate students in advanced film-making techniques and on-camera acting. The key production and shooting days of the film took place during a five week long summer camp, which enabled hands-on instruction on a true-to-life film set. The program will culminate at a premiere gala event to showcase the completed film and celebrate the young actors & actresses on Sunday March 13th in Santa Clara, California.
The Story
The Darkness slumbers inside us all. In the wake of abandoning their colony ship an escape pod full of children gets damaged and must reroute to a nearby space station. Upon arrival the kids find the station has been powered down and appears abandoned. Their survival depends on their ability to control the derelict station, and their time to be rescued is rapidly running out.
