About the project

  • Launch film for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K
  • Shot on a prototype
  • DIY production, Hollywood look

The brief

Blackmagic Design asked Directors Duo, one of its beta testers, for a film to launch the Pocket Cinema Camera 6K to independent filmmakers.

The approach

Christopher Schlierf wrote a sci-fi trailer that could be made with nothing but what was at hand, to inspire indie filmmakers to go for genre work. It was shot in his own apartment and around Munich with a DIY art department, then extended with motion graphics, 3D elements and matte paintings.

The result

Viewers took it for a Hollywood production and started asking when the film would be released.
