The story of "the Parting Gift" requires the use of some very difficult to film locations - namely busy train stations. One secne in particular was giving us great difficulty as we tried to find a way to film it. As we encountered more and more roadblocks we began to explore other ways of making the film. One of these approaches involved the idea of creating virtual sets and filming our actors against green screen for the entire film. It was a challenging concept, and to test it I put together this VFX shot - filming myself and then tracking and compositing myself into a computer generated train station. After seeing this we felt very encouraged that this might be the right way to go. Have a look and see what you think:
