Voyagers: A learning journey

Voyagers is a short film with difficult questions at its heart. What does progress really look like? How do we build a better future? And who gets to choose?

With the resources of the earth depleted, a group of voyagers are reaching the end of their journey to a distant planet. They are not the first to make the journey, as crews have gone ahead to lay the groundwork for their new home. It is a risky journey to find a better life. At the end of the journey is the promise of progress, and instructions to follow a path to their new utopia.

MBD take us behind the scenes into the making of this new project in a series of videos that act as learning resources; charting the progress, challenges and solutions in making a virtual production-based short film. Get a first hand look at ins and outs of motion capture, virtual sound effects and facial mapping.
