The Hub FLITE PROJECT INSIGHT
An image of a girl on a hoverboard, teetering on a window of a luxury high-rise building deciding whether to breakaway in a semi-submerged London of 2053 and the concept of a Memory Investigator provided Framestore's VFX supervisor and creative director, Tim Webber, with the chance to create and direct a short film utilising FUSE [Framestore Unreal Shot Engine].
FLITE was shot over five days and assembled into a 14-minute sci-fi drama. It revolves around a stranger trying to assist a young female champion hoverboarder attempting to leave her oppressive manager by recounting what he saw to local law enforcement.
Providing a guideline for the production methodology that opened my eyes to the possibility of working in that way and using current technology to make it easier, better, quicker, and less expensive,” states Webber.
