WWF - A Flammable Planet

WWF - A Flammable Planet

A stop-motion story told through the use of real fire. Behind-the-scenes: https://ift.tt/npSjL5T We used the naturally destructive properties of fire to create a direct visual metaphor between our increasingly flammable planet and the animated environment. In the film, as in real life, a menacing fire consumes everything “causing destruction to natural habitats and people’s lives.” The film acts as a stark reminder that world leaders must act now to tackle the drivers of unnatural wildfires, such as deforestation and climate change. We used an innovative combination of a highly flammable set and props, and real fire, to create a shocking sense of visual jeopardy. The film was shot entirely in-camera and used traditional stop-motion techniques together with slow-motion, timelapse, and long-exposure to create the original visuals. Directed by NOMINT co-founders Yannis Konstantinidis and Christos Lefakis in collaboration with animator Jua Braga, music by Ted Regklis, and colour grading by Tom Mangham at Black Kite Studios.

Influenced by our news, the war in the world. We created a film mixing the blooming of orchids, and the development of nature with a sound atmosphere of war. This film was created in 6 months. It represents long hours of flower timelapses that I shot with a Canon 5DsR. The insects were filmed with a Red Helium 8K camera.
