A Foil’s Theatre is a personal research project aimed at transforming real-life filmed footage into a fully-fledged 3D video. The software initially used for this is called Marigold, which performs depth analysis. By transforming each independent frame into an approximation of the real scene in volume, it allows for the recreation of a 3D animation of the moment. The second phase of the research, more aesthetic in nature, focused on refining the traditional stop-motion feel, created by the slight inconsistencies of the technology, and on introducing a gradual rhythm in the movements.
