SEATTLE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL: BE CURIOUS
If you show that the smallest bit of curiosity it will open up a whole new world of exciting, new film. So, WE 3-D PRINTED THE ENTIRE TRAILER, creating a tiny, magical world of film that rewards the curious among us. Every scene, set and character was birthed from a Makerbot. Well, except for the first few moments of live action. You can’t 3-D print humans. Yet. Let’s just say it was a labor of slow-moving laser love.
In-Theatre Bumpers:
These spots ran before and in-between films as branding for the festival, and a reminder for viewers to stay curious and expand their film horizons.
The SIFFcurious trailer follows a young woman on a transformative journey fueled by film. Her curiosity takes her through scenes of iconic films screened at SIFF over the years including 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, Dr. Strangelove, The Exorcist, Alien, and many more. Each scene was beautifully recreated in miniature with 3D models – some of which were computer designed, then made into physical models using a 3D printer, and some sculpted and painted by hand using clay and other materials. World Famous painstakingly conceive, create and shoot each vignette, with over 20 miniature sets appearing in the final trailer. The spot required over 900 hours of modeling, creating and building before a single frame was captured
