David's Moment
Short Film by Hugo Sentinelli
Short film created with the aim of visually expressing elements of the character's personality.
After dreaming about his entire life, Joseph wakes up in an empty place. Where he meets Angeline, a friendly being who tries to guide him on an inner journey. However, instead of unveiling the essence of life, he is confronted with his own weaknesses.
The film portrays the comical essence of existence, where the finiteness of life is highlighted in a humorous way, juxtaposing the inherent gravity of this subject.
It challenges preconceived notions about what lies beyond, presenting a refreshing and unexpected perspective.
It's not artificial intelligence nor VFX. What you are seeing was 100% captured on camera. A thorough work that combines dynamic lighting with projections. With an innovative visual approach, it transforms the artist's face into a true projection screen, creating intriguing patterns with light and shadow that blend with the artist's expressive lines and energetic performance. Translating into an unusual, hypnotic and immersive visual experience. A sensory input that seeks to emphasize the meaning of the message of music and promises to remain for a long time echoing in the viewer's mind. (English subtitles available!)
All Cinematography by Hugo Sentinelli, including framing, lighting, set design and camera operation.
An opening scene that may look simple, but is the result of complex idea that combines a time lapse from day to night, with pre-planned framing that plays with focus overlapping lights and reflections in harmony with the rule of thirds.
Imagine your cellphone becoming a gateway to the future, and you start receiving mysterious calls from your future self, providing guidance for what lies ahead. This provocative premise forms the core of this ultra-short film crafted by me during my Digital Film Production classes at George Brown College.
The task presented a twofold challenge: to devise a captivating concept that could also be executed individually. From its inception to the filming, editing, and post-production stages, every aspect was handled single-handedly.
