We started with designing the event and what we wanted to show the people. The idea had to be something with Steampunk, but we also wanted the special meaning to be special. Choosing for 'flying back trough time'. Showing people how things where done back in the day and that some ideas where not as bad as you may think. This is also the reason why the logo of our 'company' is a butterfly. Free, able to fly back trough time and showing the Steampunk theme well.
The idea is to really take people back in to the old days. With a big canvas, a projector, a few houses and some nature, we want to show people how it looked back in the day, but with a little Steampunk twist.
For the projection that would be seen on the canvas, we had to film a movie to do so. So we started with a green screen, one of the project member in 'the old days' clothes and some props.

For the movie, we decided it would be all black and white. Making it that the film had to be also all in black in white. Because of this, we had to make the original footage we had, in to a darker one, making our 'character' all black. After this we had to remove the green screen background. Doing the same with the props, when they where used. First making them black and after that, removing the green screen background
While i was working on the movie, I felt that I was missing something. Making us deciding that we also wanted some animation in the movie to give it some more 'real' fibes.
So, after most of the movie was done, I started animating clouds, a zeppelin and some street lights. Giving the movie that little bit of business that most of us like with movies.
And the final result.
The story is about a man going to work. Putting on his long tailcoat and his hat. Walking to the factory, he sees trees, some houses and even a zeppelin! Finally arriving at the factory, he begins to design some products. After a while, it is time to go back home again. He packs his things, stacks some things away and walks home again. Finally arriving home, he puts his tailcoat and hat on the coat rack and starts enjoying his free time.
We made some small houses as decoration, but also because it is part of the movie. When the character is in the house, you see them really step inside the house and use the house. This all while the movie is played in the background and the actor never actually went trough a door or walked inside the house.
The flyer is made in such a way, that, if timed correctly, when you make a foto of someone with this flyer holding for the camera, it looks as if the person is wearing a hat and glases. The same that are used in the movie.
