Rumpus Room Film - Interactive Film
We made this because we are excited about the future opportunities of creating hybrid filmic environments, where the relationship between its layers, and the layers themselves can be dynamic. We wanted to explore the cross over between a film and generative/interactive work. We set out to blur the line between the linear and the non linear world. We planned and executed the shoot so that all the elements could be separated later, and then recomposited. The piece combines generative (driven by live events such as time and sound input and live online information) as well as interactive elements (things the user can manipulate), without ever breaking the illusion that it is a filmic piece.
The piece was shot in our new London office, programmed by our friend Francois Naude in Cape Town SA, directed by Jeff Wood and Wade Shotter and music by Gerald Phillips from Auckland NZ.
