The USB Paradox - Full Film
The sky is blue, the grass is green, and a USB-stick only plugs in the third time round. It’s a simple fact. But why?
This age old tale, might be answered right here today.
When pilot Samantha’s spaceship is struck by lightning, a system reboot is necessary. a routine procedure—nothing to panic about. Co-pilot Josh reaches for the REBOOT-Stick and tries to plug it in. But the bloody thing just doesn’t wanna go in. As the camera zooms into the spaceship’s board-computer, an entire miniature world is revealed…

This has been a goal, a dream, bla bla. F*CK YEAH!
This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team and most of all, the Camera, Lighting, VFX, Set Design, Costume, HMU, Production, AD, Sound, Color Crew & Cast, so everyone’s effort! Missing a single link in this Chain would be just as devastating for the whole film!
Biggest of hugs to all of you! This is as much your 𝙀𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣✨

Continuing with some selected Frames from the Film. Very different styles at times and though one look throughout. I'm curious did you notice the matching lines/geometry on the last slide?

#lensaddiction #panavisionprimo

“‘The USB Paradox’ has an over-arching look that I’d call stylised realism,” says #DP @felixfoltas about his work on the whimsical campaign that reveals the secret to why it’s so hard to plug in a USB cable on the first try: tiny people inside your computer are toying with you. “As the story is quite absurd,” Foltas continues, “we tried to bring some of that weirdness into the look, in just the right places to heighten the divide between the three worlds. [We went with] a dark and gritty look for our frustrated crew onboard the spaceship, then slightly more saturated and happier for the people inside the USB port, and finally a very friendly and warm look for the blissful world at the end.
As soon as the direction of the project was headed towards a sci-fi story, we were thinking #Panavision – we came for the #anamorphics and stayed for the #sphericals. I met Vaclav Hejduk, Branch Manager at Panavision Prague, a year earlier, and when I called him up for this project, he was instantly onboard. That really gave me piece of mind on the equipment side of things, as there were an innumerable amount of challenges ahead of us.
We tested a lot of different lens sets actually, the closest contender being the H-Series, with a completely different low con look. The Primos ended up offering a combination of center sharpness, slight bloom, and extreme close focus (half of our set were the CF version of the Primos). Plus, they were a great visual match for the Frazier Lens system, had the 10mm focal length we needed, and most importantly the punchy cool contrast look that could deliver all of our 3 different looks with the same set.”

“We couldn’t find an airplane cockpit, so we pivoted the whole script towards sci-fi after discovering a space station set. We locked ourselves in a house for three months, working every day on producing, writing, rewriting, fabricating, blocking, and prevising every shot we could imagine. With no budget for proper fabrication, we just built props ourselves, spending many late nights in the woodworking shop. Three months of prep, four days of shooting, and over a year in post (!) obsessing over every scratch, flicker, and dust particle. So how difficult did we want to make it for ourselves? Apparently, YES.” - Felix Foltas, co-director & cinematographer
