Fan Film: Trickster



This live-action short film based on The Matrix and follows a young woman who is battling against a pack of Sentinels on her trail.  The CGI effects of this film are absolutely incredible, and the story concept of a human battling Sentinels one-on-one is excellent.  This would have been a great feature length film, but it proves that fifteen years after its release, The Matrix still has a hold on our imagination.

"Trickster is a small Live-action short film based on the Matrix movie, it's a fan-made film to see how far we can go with our skills in Film making and Visual effects.

The project was born in 2013 when Antonio, a friend of mine, suggested to make a video with a Sentinel 3D model that i made some time ago for fun. I was hooked since the beginning with the idea, i wrote a small synopsis and then a 3 page script, the project started to grow more than i expected. At the beginning we only thought of making a small visual effects integration video and then we ended up with a 3 minute live action short film.

This project was made in Colombia, and it was shot near Bogotá using a GH3 Camera and some Rokinon Lenses."


If you want to explore the making of this short fan film, the filmmakers have set up a blog at thetricksterproject.blogspot.com filled with the evolution of the visual effects and more.
