Via Motionographer:
"Ben West wrote, directed and did the animation for this warming mockumentary promoting the 2008 Australian Directors Guild Conference. Ben's witty script, combined with a bit of Christopher Guest meets Chris Cunningham is a refreshing change of pace from the über epic conference promos of late.
Ben's concept and process:'I came up with the idea of film makers as freaks ostracized by society growing up and finding each other through the calling of film making. [They] tend to be pretty precious with fragile egos so the idea stuck. The freak factor [...] represents the skills that are peculiar to film craft. The effects [...] involved substantial 3d tracking and photogrammetry that allowed the actors freedom to perform…'"
The effects come across somewhat simple, yet wonderfully effective.
