Tough Morning (2015)

This short film started as a test, which escalated into a short film. Ruben Swart singehandedly created all the CGI and VFX, which took almost a year to create in his sparetime.

Short science-fiction/comedy film made whilest in school as a side project. Created as a no-budget film with a on-set crew consisting of 3 including myself, production of this short took 1,5 years since we were working in our sparetime. Completely filmed in a small conference room with a greenscreen wall.
