Future Proof - Short Film

Future Proof is a heavily stylistic short, it reverses time and ends with the creation of man. It's entirely danced without speaking and filmed in complete slow-motion. Some might suggest it's more of a dance or music video than it is a short film, but I believe it's simply at the furthest stylistic end of the spectrum. It's very short, only 3.30 in total but still moving and captivating like other, longer films.
The capability of the dancers and the excellent camerawork allows us to view the film as a spectacle as-well a narrative piece.
There is also heavy use of CGI to ehance and exemplify the movements of the dancers and how they connect to the story. The point of the film is more of a message or question for the audience to ponder on rather than simply a story like Apricot or Side Effected.
