Science Friction
Science Friction has been a labour of love. It’s been our first piece of group work in video productions, the brief was to produce a 7 minute VT package on a technical subject (although the subject could be completely fictional).
The 5 of us chose to create a single episode from a science documentary series (Science Friction). The episode is on the subject of ‘human matter transportation’ and follows a group of scientists in their experiments leading up to, and first test of, a method of human teleportation.

We spent a long time scripting and story-boarding the piece before sourcing our actors and props. We filmed over 4 days on location (a working lab) and used green screen for talking heads. The bulk of time was spent in post-production with one person almost completely dedicated to effects compositing. We also authored the full VT (with added extras) as a DVD.
I’ve been involved in all areas; camera work, live studio production, acting (sigh), compositing and editing. We also got some great experience with different bits of kit; a SteadiCam rig, a studio chroma key setup, portable lighting, rail-guided cameras and a live studio equipment.
I present to you Science Friction – Human Matter Transportation.
