Tim Webber https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGkRPUvp4tZXyd4EZUdjrCw In London 2053, a world champion hoverboarder finds herself imprisoned in a luxury skyscraper apartment by her controlling manager. With the help of a well-meaning stranger she engineers an ingenious high-rise escape but soon finds herself riding for her life. "FLITE is a film I’ve been eagerly awaiting for much of 2023. Rare is it that a short film trailer drop feels like an event, but, back in May, FLITE got that treatment from the Hollywood Reporter, and in-depth writeups in specialized industry publications soon followed. This is not the norm, but not every short film can claim an Oscar-winning VFX Supervisor as its director, someone whose fingerprints are all over several of the most beloved and acclaimed films of the 21st century. Tim Webber is that director, and also the Chief Technology Officer of the VFX powerhouse Framestore. The former Oxford Physics student has pioneered some of the approaches we now bundle under the umbrella of “virtual production” in his career, perhaps most notably on the 2013 Alfonso Cuarón film Gravity, and now applies that expertise to his own turn in the director’s chair" - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2023/12/01/flite/ *CAST:* Alba Baptista Gethin Anthony Daniel Lawrence Taylor *CREW* Written & Directed by Tim Webber (Framestore) Produced by Simon Whalley & Diarmid Scrimshaw VFX Supervisor - Theo Jones Realtime Supervisor - Nestor Prado Visualisation Supervisor - Francisco Pacheco Beltran Animation Supervisor - James King Compositing Supervisor - Wouter Gilsing Editor - Daphne Tychogiorgou Original Music - Harry Escott Sound Designer - Ben Goodal Colourist - Jean-Clément Soret Animation & VFX by Framestore Colour & Finish by Company 3 Reproduced on this channel with the permission of the filmmakers.
