Directed by Amy Cheung
Review by Andie Karvelis:
It's important to realize this was presented as part of the Hong Kong Shenzhe Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism/Architecture. A six week alternate reality game took place between 27, August to 26, November 2022. This very unique experience was written by Wing Yan Ng and writer/director Amy Cheung.
In true video game fashion you need to have a computer generated realm, this was thanks to Shence Mao for their 3D game design work, Erkka Nissinen ( 3D effects ) and Jeff Yiu who was responsible for the cinematography, A.I. motion and the editing. All of the A.I. and computer generated imagery was stunning and seamless. Amy Chueng and Jeff Yiu also handled the voice over for the A.I. robot and the visual effects which were exceptional.
However, TimeBank ( the game ) wasn't just solely computer generated with A.I. There were some very impactful live action sequences that addressed serious issues concerning our eco systems, solar energy and food waste. Personally, I would have enjoyed more time spent on what each individual group was doing to help with these environmental concerns.
This film is a great educational tool that would fit perfectly in schools to spark the interest of our youth to become more involved in protecting this little blue rock we all call hom
