Movie description
This experimental interactive short film is the most authentic adaptation of Kafka's famous story, The Metamorphosis, where Gregor Samsa one morning finds himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. The film tells the entire story using a subjective camera, experiencing what happens from Gregor's perspective, as Kafka himself wanted it to be according to his own diary. It was shot with a 360 degree spherical remote controlled robotic camera that was directed and programmed to interact with the actors and to create an extremely low- angle view of the set as envisioned from the insect's 1st person perspective. Beyond the film/DVD release this method offers several interactive features available on-line, on interactive DVD and in the form of an art installations. —Barnabas Takacs
