Shooting at night proved challenging but I'll think everyone who's visited London at night will agree that it is truly a beautiful place to be. Our aim was to capture London's beauty and place a baby elephant in the heart of London. I headed up the 3D end of the film, this included modeling, texturing, look development, lighting and rendering. Whilst Chris Turner took care of all things 2D. We brought the film from concept to delivery and made a conscious effort to keep the core team as small as possible. We collaborated with 6 animators to take care of a few shots each and a rigger to take care of the rigging.
This film stars Jennifer Lewis, and was a collaboration of many talented artists. We spent a few months on the pre-production process, planning out narrative ideas and narrowing down how we were going to tackle both the production and post-production. We looked to the work of various filmmakers and post houses, most notably The Mill and their SSE campaign which depicts an orangutan experiencing the city of London at night. We were intrigued by the look and colours of the city at night and the doors it opened in terms of a unique visual style. We opted to shoot in a few locations across London, with a crew of 5 in early December. We shot interior scenes in Brighton. The visual effects process spanned 5 months, and was a huge learning curve for all of us.
The film was released at University of Hertfordshire's Animation Exposé on May 25th 2016 and was awarded "Best VFX Short".
PETA - Animal rights chartiy awarded Bertie with their Compassionate Marketing Award for showing that using real-animals in film is unnecessary and that CGI is the way forward.
The film also won 'Film of The Year' at 'The Rookies' 2016.
