ARTIST STATEMENT
My film is a short film for Major Project 2. In it, an undercover聽cop聽tries to arrest a thief for stealing a valuable object and goes to extreme lengths, such as shooting her with a laser gun. It is about one聽person聽terminating another person, and by the end of the film, there is a twist that makes the title Eradication make more sense. The film took two days to film. Editing and effects took months to get done. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit the film and After Effects to create the effects, especially聽the lasers, fire and wind. My inspirations are from The Matrix, Star Wars 补苍诲听Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Matrix is聽mainly the聽action and camera movement. Star Wars is the聽costuming聽and lasers. Avatar: The Last Airbender聽[informed] the fire and wind effects, which are inspired by bending elements.
ARTIST INTRODUCTION
My name is Matthew Loke. I am a third-year student who studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Animation and VFX. I personally love movies, specifically Star Wars, Marvel, DC and Harry Potter, as those films have a lot of VFX. I make a lot of movies influenced by those genres, and I like to incorporate a lot of visual effects and editing into my films.聽
