Synopsis
The idea is to tell a narrative by using only camera moves. No animation no FX animation. To show-case our skills as VFX artists. 2012 will be comprised of 3 shots 15-30 seconds long and will run anywhere from a minute to a minute and a half. The goal is to convey serious emotion by framing American soldiers, helping the remaining city populace escape a city under siege.
