Zoom In, Zoom Out

When his roommate Gao disappears, Shi sets out across the city in search of him. Following an unexpected lead, he meets YY, Gao's girlfriend, and together they begin piecing the fragments left behind. As their search unfolds across both physical and digital worlds, they form an unexpected bond. Their search unexpectedly brings them closer, drawing them toward the increasingly blurred boundaries between memory, reality, and the digital world.

I was the Interactive Media Director, and one of the two Supervising Sound Editors. The film's game world, Future Migration, was built a year before the shoot. The team created its virtual environments in Unity HDRP, designed how the virtual camera would move through them, and built an OSC-based system for triggering and adjusting scenes live on set. The actors could actually play the game during filming; our cinematographer filmed the screen with a tilt-shift lens, which gave the in-game footage more texture than a straight capture or a composited plate. On sound, Bai Xueying and I were the two supervising sound editors and mixed the film.
