This film is about our imagination and how it can run away with us especially when we are young.  One minute you can be playing with a stick, the next you are having a sword fight with a monster.  I wanted to recreate this idea in a short film.

I made this short film with a colleague at work,  I wrote the script, directed and shot the film and my colleague worked on the special effects.

Equipment Used:
Sony Z1 with hood and Diffusion Filters
Small Jib
Final Cut Pro
After Effects

This film was made in summer 2009
