We worked with the talented Strathie Film team again on their second feature, Dark Encounter, where alien fantasy meets psychological thriller.
Project Details
As with their first film, Solis, the production wanted as many of the effects as possible to be physical.
Artem were asked to create an alien character and to provide standby atmospherics and effects on location.
The Artem team created an alien form, sculpting first in clay and then casting it in translucent silicone, supported by wire.
The main cast was also used to create an animatronic hand which could be manipulated for close shots – fingers reaching around doors and over shoulders…
Artem’s technicians provided on-set support, operating the alien and its hand. We also created a number of smoke and atmospheric effects, for both interior and exterior shots.
