Blackmagic Design today announced that Brooklyn, NY based production house The Family used several of its products for virtual production work on the sci fi romantic comedy “Molli and Max in the Future.” Having recently premiered at the 2023 SXSW Film and TV Festival, the film creates a universe like no other using a combination of old school practical visual effects (VFX) and cutting edge virtual production technology.
Starring Zosia Mamet and Aristotle Athari, “Molli and Max in the Future” is about a man and woman whose orbits repeatedly collide over the course of 12 years, four planets, three dimensions and one space cult. To help create the wholesome love story set in a vast sci fi world, The Family’s Creative Director Steve Dabal was at the helm of the film’s virtual production workflow, collaborating closely with Director Michael Lukk Litwak and Cinematographer/VFX Supervisor Zach Stoltzfus.
“Michael had a strong vision for the world he wanted to build, which fit well with the technology driven storytelling we do at The Family,” said Dabal. “The virtual production and virtual art department allowed the team to hone in on the environments to make sure they reflected the characters, including how the main characters’ planets needed to look and feel, which was an essential story component. All the backgrounds and landscapes were built ahead of filming, so the look could be achieved without having a massive footprint on set.”
