Daniel produced the original clip for film school as his final project. It was shot it entirely on location in Cologne/Germany using the Canon XL1. The CG elements were taken from the computer game “Half Life 2” by Valve Software and animated in 3D Studio Max with a final render with mental ray. Compositing and color grading was done using Combustion and editing was via in Adobe Premiere.
