Synopsis

Thesis defense is today. And I had to come up with a brief synopsis of my film.

This seems as good a place as any to work out my thoughts.

"Chester" is the found-footage screen test of a man that wished to be something he was not...a cartoon star.

The film is combined live-action green screen footage, hand-drawn backgrounds, and toon-shaded CGI props and characters. The overall film is edited and styled to look like an old piece of film including slices, jump cuts, miss-handled film stock, etc. Camera moves will be amateur, with missed cues and inaccurate focus pulls.
