Fan-Made MATRIX Film - TRICKSTER

View fullsize

We've got a really cool fan-made Matrix film for you to watch today called Trickster. It was written and directed by Felix Joleanes, and the special effects are really impressive. There's not much of a story, but it's still a fun watch. 

Trickster is a small Live-action short film based on the Matrix movie, it's a fan-made film to see how far we can go with our skills in Film making and Visual effects. This is a non-profit project produced solely for the personal enjoyment of our team.

The project was born in 2013 when Antonio, a friend of mine, suggested to make a video with a Sentinel 3D model that i made some time ago for fun. I was hooked since the beginning with the idea, i wrote a small synopsis and then a 3 page script, the project started to grow more than i expected. At the beginning we only thought of making a small visual effects integration video and then we ended up with a 3 minute live action short film.

It was recently rumored that The Wachowskis are in the process of developing a new Matrix trilogy. There's been no confirmation or denial of that, but I do hope it's true.
