Turbo, the movie
“Turbo, the movie” se estrena el 30 de Abril.
Probablemente es una de las cosas más “flipantes” (=interesante) que he visto en los últimos tiempos.
Dirigido por Jarret Conaway estudiante de la USC School of Cinematic Arts, que tras dos años de trabajo (pre-, post-, producción y realización) presenta su tesis de graduación en forma de cortometraje.
Unas dosis de genialidad + tiempo + After Effects + Illustrator + Maya + Shake + algunas clases magistrales de Robert Zemeckis… y voilà:
Jarret Conaway es un nombre para mantener en la memoria: se prevee la película ya antes del estreno del corto.
Sinopsis:
“TURBO is a high-adrenaline short film in the tradition of The Karate Kid and Tron. It tells the story of Hugo Park (Justin Chon, Twilight) a misspent youth whose only outlet for angst is a 4D fighting video game called “Super Turbo Arena”. When Pharaoh King (Jocko Sims, Crash the Series), the Michael Jordan of cybersports, announces a tournament to determine who will join his pro team, Hugo’s sets his eyes on the prize. But Hugo isn’t the only gamer who wants fame and glory. If Hugo wants to win he’s going to have to beat Shamus (David Lehre, Epic Movie), the all time Turbo champ at the local Pandemonium arcade, and Ruse Kapri, a feisty prep girl that knows how to win. Realizing he can’t win on his skill alone, Hugo turns to his brother Tobias, a former kickboxer whose last match left him confined to a wheelchair. Together the two will mend old wounds and see if a washed up street fighter can teach a troubled teen how to become a virtual gladiator! “.
