Lux – Wendy Pillonel

Last night, Hélia had a dream. What would happen if the sun disappeared forever?

Un projet de recherche

Virtually Real is a research project initiated by the ZHdK in collaboration with the Institute of Psychology of the University of Bern. The aim of the project is to understand whether and how the viewer’s perception differs depending on whether the film space is real or virtual.

To this purpose, two short films were shot twice.
Our short film was first shot in a real space. This space was then scanned with laser scanning and photogrammetry technologies and remodelled in 3D by a technical team. For the second studio shoot, the 3D space was integrated into the green screen and the film was shot identically a second time, in front of virtual sets.

A test audience will be used to better understand our perception of filmic space – real or virtual.
