What is The Hidden People?
When Casper discovers what could be the remains of a dead fairy, he becomes obsessed, much to the contempt of his older brother Liam. As Casper comes within touching distance of his goal he must decide between his innocent fantasies or the reality of brotherhood. We're here today to ask for your help in making this incredible film a reality.
Who are The Hidden People?
We are a group of enthusiastic, talented students from the University of York who are about to embark on our final, biggest and most ambitious project yet! Experience of making this film will go toward helping the team get into a number of sort after masters programmes as well as a chance to break into the film industry.
Where will your money go?
Where will your money go?
This project is ambitious. We're planning to use some amazing, unique techniques that will really bring this story to life.
First is the use of projection mapping to simulate the fairies. When people think about fairies in films they tend to think about CGI style animations. However, we aim to be different and use the practical effect of projection mapping to control the flow of light onto objects such as mushrooms and trees to create an interesting and unique visual experience! (Watch our video to see sneak peaks of this in action)
As the story revolves around the story of the Cottingley fairies; we plan to make the film as Yorkshire based as possible to show our support to the area and its traditions. This will be done by using all Yorkshire based location and actors. Props will also be sourced as much as possible from local businesses. So the money you put in will not only support York based students but it will also be going back into our local community!
I'm sure you're wondering by now where exactly the money will go within this project?
As always a minimum amount will be needed to get the project up and going. However we have big plans for if we hit our maximum target, this includes getting an actual 90s police car on set!
Budget breakdown:
- Transport to and from locations: £300
- Catering (7 days): £350
- Locations: £600
- Additional equipment: £200
- Props and costume: £350
- Actors expenses: £300
- Rewards: £50

GRAND TOTAL = £2,400
