During the a short production period of about 2 months, I was working heavily on 19 sequences and even more so shots of this beautiful feature film about the last year of Franz Kafka before he died from Tuberculosis.
I delivered very high quality work in 4K for this beautiful feature film. The film was shot on Arri Mini LF on Open Gate which not only was huge in file size but also provided enough headroom to preserve the color information from the exterior greenscreen shoot in the train.

VFX and Comp Tasks included adding Bloodstains, Beauty Facial Touchup, various Cleanups, Trainride Greenscreen Comps, Set Extenstions, Tree Removals, and other comp work.
