Description
The film follows a young girl on a secret mission – the purpose of which isn?t revealed to the viewer until the very end. Over a series of days, we see the tiny trooper determinedly studying complex science textbooks, watching quantum theory videos, and raiding the house for objects to use in her special project. In the final reveal, the girl wakes up her mother, who has breast cancer - and leads her inside a ?time machine? that she has made from cardboard and household items. As mother and daughter sit in the makeshift machine together, the girl turns the dial from 2017 to 2050.
Execution
As the client was a charity our budget was very restricted, making production particularly challenging. The script was so engaging that it meant crew and camera houses were more inclined to give us favours.
Art direction was also imperative to make this piece look realistic and relatable to our audiences, luckily we were working with an incredible art director, who managed to design and dress a visually interesting set with huge budget and time restrictions.
More than anything the cast and performance were imperative to create the emotion. As our protagonist was a child direction at times proved fairly difficult, trying to coax the right performance out of a child is tricky at the best of times and was made even harder with this spot due to the emotional gravity of the subject.
