Trailer for the film fund Jeunes Création Francophone

The trailer for an imaginary film tells the story of two lovers who deal with the tensions of urbanity, alienation and home. To highlight these motifs, we shot the clip in super-slow motion. In addition to the surreal 3D moments, the film contains several references to the potentials of film production. "Jeune Création Francophone" is a film fund supporting young African filmmakers and producers from Sub-Saharan Africa.

Before Fiction
This selection of images shows a few impressions from the set. By the way: As a reference to the ambiguity of the headline – the movie was completely shot in Berlin/Brandenburg.
Slow It Down
We shot the clip in 1600 fps to emphasize the expressions of our protagonists.
Night And Day
The compositing added to the idea of building a slightly surreal world.
