Plot Device

Plot Device from Red Giant on Vimeo.

This video was made to promote Red Giant's tools for post-production and to show a community of filmmakers that something like this can be done without an extremely high budget. I love this video for many reasons, firstly the concept for the video is such a good idea in my opinion, as it allows them to show off each of their products whilst creating an exiting yet humorous film. Also the acting of the main character in this video was very well played and funny, especially his facial expressions throughout the video. This kind of video could definitely inspire a similar theme for my video especially with either the device or the alternate realities (or both?).


Red Giant TV Episode #57: Behind the Scenes of Plot Device from Red Giant on Vimeo.

This is the behind the scenes video (BTS) showing their process from concept to shoot to post-production, which was very useful to watch as it gave me a better understanding of their filmmaking process and also their inspirations, for example they mention how the sci-fi scene was inspired by Michael Bay (i.e. lots of lens flares and explosions).
