Employing inventive uses of practical effects, Jamie Stone’s Sci-Fi short Orbit Ever After tells the story of two star crossed lovers attempting to bridge the gap between them. Jamie joins us on DN to discuss shooting convincing wire-free zero gravity and the benefits of stealing ideas from your early scripts.
Orbit Ever After (2013)
Nigel has fallen in love. But when you live in orbit, aboard a ramshackle space hovel with the most risk-averse family imaginable, it isn’t easy to follow your heart – especially when the girl of your dreams is spinning around earth the wrong way!
A lot of the fun for me is about working out how I can do these ideas that should rightly be animations.
I’ve known Jamie for years now, ever since I was like 3 or 4. He has changed so much since I met him, I would love to see him become a large well known movie director some day!!
Ps. I heard Jess barking in the background 😉
is there ANYWHERE I can find orbit ever after????????
Unfortunately I think Jamie’s film is still touring film festivals worldwide – if you want to keep up with where its playing and when it may appear online, we suggest keeping an eye on its twitter feed – https://twitter.com/OrbitEverAfter
