In “Day n Nite”, we challenged to push the boundary of filming possibilities by using leading-edge shooting techniques to visualize the possibilities and perplexity of “What if?” moments of choice making.
The film was shot with the world’s first drone motion control system. Combining Drone + camera + OptiTrack (motion capture system), enabled us to achieve intricate yet organic movements, such as navigating narrow spaces, traveling long distances and 360 turns. To capture the notion of parallel worlds with reality, none of the existing shooting methods felt sufficient. So Kazuma came up with the idea of utilizing drones as a motion control camera. He teamed up with technical professionals to develop a drone control program from scratch. It has been a long trial and error process over the course of 8 months. As a result, we succeeded in depicting the emotions of a man lost in the maze of dimensions of his life with dynamic camera work and multiple overlays. Also we used iPhone SDK to control drones instead of hacking them which made the whole system high versatility.
