Making Solita

Solita (trailer) from Steven Fine on Vimeo.


Steven Fine talks about the technical challenges:

SOLITA was my thesis project for Boston University's film program. Though I have just graduated in May, I continue to work in post-production to polish the special effects. It's a short film that has the ambition to ask a big question - If you had to choose, would you pick the cold isolation of space or the warm environment of a virtual reality earth?

There were a lot of risks in making this project. The film was shot half on green screen and half on location. We weren't sure if shooting super 16 mm film would work with green screen. We also weren't sure if our ideas would get across in twenty minutes. It's a complicated story. We finished a version of the film in three months, which made us pretty proud, but we knew there was so much more that could be done.
