Hi, my name's Omar, I'm the director of
"The Humanoid Park", a sci-fi based on the short story..
"Standing Woman" by Japanese acclaimed sci-fi author "Yasutaka Tsutsui".
Imagine a world where simple medical surgery can turn a human being..
into a tree, imagine more, if this was an..
official procedure the government uses to fight terrorism..
and "unwanted-persons" by making them "Mantrees",
and planting them in the main streets and squares of the city.
Our film is about (Mesbah), a comic..
artist who is trying to visit his recently planted wife, we follow him on a journey..
through a day from his life, watching this cruel dark world..
from his point of view. The Humanoid Park is my graduation project..
from my film school in Egypt. The school will only provide..
us with the set that we'll shoot in, but we still have to manage..
everything else on our own.
The full half of the cup that we had already saved 4000$ from our own money,
but we'll going to need more in order to achieve the vision that we dream
about. Our ambitions is to create a whole new world..
from scratch, that's why we decided to shoot the entire film..
on green screen, we also intend to mix live action scenes with 2d..
and 3d animation, and stop motion techniques.
which will take great time and effort from our VFX team during the..
post production stage. For our main characters we're going to use full body lifecasting..
in order to achieve the look for the "Human trees" that our..
film is revolving around. Creatures
vehicles, and props will be made or enhanced by CG..
animating and modeling. And we won't be able to hire the required..
team of artists to do that without your support. We have prepared some great..
perks that you can view on right side of our campaign' page.
For several weeks, we've been working on the artwork and storyboard..
of the film,
creating the sets and casting the main actors. Even if we didn't reach our main goal
we're still determined to keep going with whatever we get.
But we trust you, and we hope that you'll trust us back. And we promise
that we'll do whatever it takes to deserve that trust.
As you can see, I... I'm already
wearing this tree..
costume, that I made and..
what I..
Can I take it off now? Because I can't move anymore..
No, I'll keep it on..
I have an idea..
I'll repeat my last sentence..
then I'll explain in the end..
that I don't want my movie to look like this cheap tree, so..
can we make a long shot?..
so they can see the whole tree?
