Production notes
Production began in September 2010. The film had an original score by Rónán Ó Snodaigh of Kíla.
Made under the Irish Film Board's Short Shorts scheme.
Premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh.
Produced primarily using Maya and Mental Ray while also relying heavily on its compositing pipeline. The streets of Dublin were captured using still photographs. This data was then brought into Maya for 3D shot setup. From this, templates were output and then painted with old-fashioned Photoshop background painting. The templates were then projected back on to the 3D models and environments. The shots were then brought into compositing with a large number of shots composited employing projection mapping techniques.
