Framestore | FLITE | Framestore @FramestoreOfficial | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 15 hours ago.
FLITE is the directorial and writing debut of Oscar winning VFX Supervisor Tim Webber (Gravity, The Dark Knight). Starring Alba Baptista (Warrior Nun, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris), the futuristic short has an unusual first person cinematic camera; continuous and highly choreographed for the action, giving the film the scale, impact, excitement and appeal of a Hollywood event movie.
Set in a semi-submerged London of 2053 the action packed film explores the nascent and underground practice of ‘memory visualisation’. Stevie, the reigning World hoverboard champion, imprisoned in a luxury high-rise apartment by her controlling manager, is helped by the kindness of a courageous stranger, and sets out on a daring and ingenious attempt at escape. All doesn’t quite go to plan.
Filmed across 5 days with a small cast featuring Alba Baptista Warrior Nun, Mrs Harris Goes to Paris), Gethin Anthony (Man Hunt: Unabomber, Game of Thrones) and Daniel Lawrence Taylor (Timewasters, Uncle) Webber and his production team adapted innovative production techniques initially developed for the feature film Gravity. FLITE integrates real, layered, human characters into a heightened and breathtaking world that’s grounded in reality.
