STUCK: Episode 02
STUCK is a short film series we’re making in which every episode only one talent appears in only one location. The character is always stuck, which the stories evolve around.
In the second episode of the short film series we tell the story of the ‘Game of Life’. It’s a simulation invented by mathematician John Conway in 1970. It inspired me to write a fictional story about that.
The Production of the Short Film
Working with only one action in one location makes the production of the short film easy. Essentially you don’t need a producer on set, which allows me to focus 100% on directing.
It’s a choice that I made after my last project, in which I failed as the creator of the short film. I had to hand out all the creative tasks, which made me the executive producer on set. I felt like I had no creative input.
I’m not sure yet how many episodes will follow within the series, but I sure am learning a lot. For the first time, I’m focusing 100% on the creative side. The short films you’re watching is exactly the story that I had in mind.
How we made the Visual Effects
This short film was produced in collaboration with Adobe. I created 4 tutorial videos from this short film, which are published to their YouTube channel.
You can watch the tutorials here. Definitely leave a comment on them 🙂
