Overview

After waiting for six hours in the abandoned ruins of a shack in the middle of an Iraqi desert, US Special Forces Lieutenant Grant Rigg is ready to get straight to business when the informant Ahmed Abbas finally arrives at this pre-arranged meeting place. Rigg has brought Abbas a gift to sweeten the deal of intel delivery, hoping to keep the informant buttered up for future exchanges. However this gesture is lost as Abbas takes the generosity as an opening to bargain for yet more; resulting in the drastic measure of Rigg destroying the gift to show the reluctant informant who has the upper hand in this bargain.

Challenges & Approach

We've made this film as a test case for the use of a new technology. We filmed the entire film in a Virtual Production environment. The biggest challenges are, matching the light on the fore and background and matching the decor with the screens.

The result

We succeeded in filming this short film in 1 day. The Virtual Production studio was amazed at the level of the outcome.
