In nuce: Paris-based visual effects service provider Mac Guff has released a VFX breakdown for the eco-thriller Vesper Chronicles, in which alien flying bodies sail through the air, worm-like creatures stretch out of holes – and the future of our planet sinks into an ecological crisis.
What can the Parisians from Mac Guff do? Mac Guff specialises in visual effects for film, television, music videos and advertising (recent portfolio examples include the arthouse blockbuster Titane, the Eurotrash gem Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and the Netflix series Lupin).
In toto: Vesper (German title: Vesper Chronicles) is an adventure film that combines sci-fi and fairytale elements. It was directed by Bruno Samper and Kristina Buozyte. The film is set in a speculative future in which the Earth’s ecosystem has collapsed and the film’s heroes and heroines have to fend off a hostile environment – isolated from wealthy people who live in so-called citadels. At the centre of the plot is 13-year-old Vesper, who fights for her survival with bio-hacking skills (also known as do-it-yourself biology).
