CROMAESCOPE - Web series - Episode 2

CROMAESCOPE is a comedy series made up of 8 episodes. Each one is inspired by different B-series science fiction films from the 1950s, imitating their aesthetics and themes in a comic tone, with fast-paced dialogues and funny situations. The clumsy practical effects, combined with an obvious use of 'chroma' technology and the sober creation of backgrounds using AI, reinforce the idea that it is a production made in a more modest time.

Director Statement

For this web series, the direction is intentionally simple, but not simplistic, so as not to clash with the style of the time. Beneath this apparent lightness lies a moral and social commitment narrated through fantasy and humor. Each shot required detailed technical and artistic planning to fit together different elements without losing the perfect composition and precise emotional content. All this while maintaining the narrative coherence of the episode and the series. Special care was therefore taken in directing the actors to achieve appropriately hammy performances and a tight narrative rhythm at the service of comedy.
