Synergy: The Nano Age from Desmond Hew on Vimeo.
Was originally shot as a demo reel for a feature-length script... now completely reedited to become a trailer with additional footage and faster cuts.
Cameras used were the Canon HV20 and Canon 5D Mark II.
Spent a day's shoot for the actors on cheap rented greenscreen equipment with practically no crew. Followed by 3 to 4 months of heavy/ arduous Post work for the visual effects... and designs, all made up from my geeky imagination and sheer love for science fiction and fantasy.
Work was done in Full HD which resulted in substantially longer rendering times but what the heck. =)
SYNOPSIS:
The distant future -- set in South East Asia. Global-Warming has struck and consumed all lowlands. The millions of displaced survivors now reside in a massive island city. With the overwhelming death-rate of skin cancer, the governments of the island have embedded every individual with an enhanced neurochip to survive the sun's deadly rays. Adequate but not perfect.
The 6 Chief Scientists who developed it, promise in the coming years, an improved neurochip-update, a cure that finally gives complete immunity to the sun. As they near the final stages, two veteran agents are called in to investigate a startling death threat from an elusive terrorist group who vow to assassinate all the chief scientists for reasons unknown. As the murders ensue, one by one, committed by random unrelated individuals and even by suicide, the two officers race to uncover the backstory behind the group and their apparent link to the chief scientists themselves, which ultimately leads to the discovery that the actual culprit may not even be human... and the promised cure is all but a mere ploy for an even bigger conspiracy... that could spell the doom for everyone on the island itself.
