Vengeance
Infinity Studios' debut film: a mind-bending YouTube thriller full of plot twists and VFX that most small teams would outsource.
Why we made it
Infinity Studios started with one goal: make unique films for YouTube. Vengeance was our first, and people loved it for its storyline, its plot twists and its VFX animation. That response is what pushed us to start making professional ads for businesses.
Pre-production
We spent about two months on the story alone: developing the narrative, drawing storyboards, rehearsing stunts, building props and casting.
The shoot
To get the best result we used green screens for background changes, gimbals for stable movement, motion trackers to push the action, careful lighting and facial makeup. From first day to final cut, the production took eight months.
Post-production
Post covered voice-overs, editing, visual effects and sound mixing. I cut the trailer to hook viewers fast and tease the twists without giving them away. It did more than anything else to extend the film's reach.
Before / after: the VFX
The breakdown shows raw green-screen plates turning into finished shots: keying, motion tracking, the card-throwing effects and the final grade, layer by layer.
