As of next week, the Ciudad de la Luz audiovisual complex, in Alicante, will host the filming of the animation film ’Linko’ by the Alicante-born director, David Valero. With this project, the filmmaker makes his debut behind the camera after having worked as an assistant to veteran Adán Aliaga, who has won some thirty awards for the short film ‘Niños que nunca existieron’.
‘Linko’ is a self-penned feature film made using animation technology, employing an advanced filming technique that consists of creating 3D backgrounds and with real characters filmed against a chroma green screen. The main cast of ‘Linko’ comprises Manel Barceló, Críspulo Cabezas and Daniel Carrillo.
With this technique the characters are subjected to a pictorization treatment in post-production, which, though they continue to be perfectly recognizable, gives them a video game appearance, as in the films ‘Polar Express’, ‘Beowulf’ and ‘Dogville’.
The producers participating in the shooting of the film, which will take place from July 14 to August 8, are Alicante-based Jaibo Films (‘My Grandmother's House’ by Adán Aliaga), IB Cinema (‘Estigmas’) and the Catalonian firm, Nadir Films.
