Synoptica marks our final project completed at university and we’re very pleased with the outcome.  The final short film has been praised by many tutors and students at the degree show, put forward for an RTS award and sent to international film festivals.  We’d like to thank our LSM tutors and other lecturers at the University of Lincoln who have shared their positive views on the piece and have helped us along the way. Here is the trailer for our futuristic drama.

Crew & Cast on set

We were lucky with the casting. The script captivated the attention of Nathalie Cox  [Exam (2009), Kingdom of Heaven (2005), The Double (2013)] who auditioned for the lead role. Actors Nathalie and Chris Grierson (Alice in Wonderland (2010), Holby City ‘Everything to play for’ (2011) both worked very well together on set and developed the lead characters extremely well.

We had to overcome many location and budget problems, which put major pressures on the production’s schedule and pushed shooting back over two weeks. Shooting took place over four long and tiring days in Ipswich with a lack of wifi and phone signal which created more problems for contacting actors, catering and each other whilst off-set.

We were able to use the skills taught to us in lectures and workshops throughout the three years on-set in order to quickly solve problems, remain professional at all times and create the highest quality product possible.

The full short film will be available on Static Flow Productions Vimeo page very soon, we’d love to hear your thoughts! Stay up to date with us at Facebook. Static Flow Productions specialise in short films, adverts and music videos.
