brief
We invite great storytellers and thinkers on an epic expedition to Pripyat, with unparalleled access to tell unique stories and designs.
Gamma is a short film about a new urban developer’s attempt to rebuild post-nuclear cities using ‘Nuke-Root’ technology. The film follows a group of researchers investigating GAMMA’s practice from launch to deployment in the iconic disaster sites of 1980s USSR. However, GAMMA’s execution is cheap and ineffective, rendering the city more radioactive and uninhabitable than before. Filmed in Ukraine and Kazakhstan with The Unknown Fields Division.
making
Filmed, designed, produced and VFX by our studio.
The film was filmed with a small team in Kazakstan with a small talent shoot here in London starring Martin Ashley Jones. We set the rules of the world by scripting and animating a little propaganda advert to introduce the film as if it was playing on TV in Ukraine at the time. The design and VFX of the world was lastly brought to life within our studio over a month post-shoot.
Going to Prypriat with this talented group of artists, designers and photographers was a great experience. Coming home and making a short fiction from the material with my team was a great way to launch our studio.
