Jolie is blind, but she doesn\u2019t know it. No one has ever told her that people can see.

The story takes place in real time. There are few costume changes. And no explosions\u201c, says the filmmaker, who will follow best practices during production, which will result in time as well as energy efficiency. Instead of using numerous lights that need to be re-adjusted for each shot, the production will utilize a fixed lighting rig. \u201eThe lighting rig is part of the story. And it\u2018s part of the background of the father who created the garden\u201c, explains Jago. \u201eThe environment itself is the sixth character.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The gigantic garden has seven zones, and each offers a different environment: entwined jungle; underwater seascapes with deep sea fauna; Iceland\u2019s black sand and luminous yellow reeds. Set design and sound design unite to shape the story\u2019s mood and atmosphere. \u201eThe sounds of bees and birds come from miniature underground speakers. They don\u2018t exist but you can hear them.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Jolie\u2018s Garden<\/em> will be shoot in 4K for theatrical release as well as a 360\u00b0 video for VR headsets. \u201eNow reality itself is our medium. Our relationship as living beings to reality is tenuous. We really don\u2018t understand the difference between experience, memory, imagination or dream\u201c, stresses Jago, who doesn\u2018t believe that human consciousness really understands time or space. \u201eDream is reality for human consciousness, without the physics. You can jump to anywhere you want, you can move forwards or backwards in time and you never notice when you\u2018re dreaming. I call this The thread of consciousness. My idea is that when you dream, you are led by your curiosity. As filmmakers, we\u2018re privileged to be able to create audience curiosity. We control what the audience is going to see next\u201c, sums up the director. \u201eAnd with a virtual reality headset, you\u2018ll be able to look in any direction.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the world is a beautiful green garden. It\u2018s a perfect illusion but the green production will be real.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos: Razaka Firmager\/ Edo Brugu\u00e9<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British filmmaker, futurist, and media technology author Maxim Jago is working on the first sustainably produced Virtual Reality project, Jolie\u2018s Garden, which is about an eighteen-year-old girl who has lived her entire life in an artificial underground garden. &nbsp; &nbsp; \u201eJolie\u2018s Garden is a beautiful psychological thriller\u201c, says Writer\/Director Jago who adapted the story from \u2026 <a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/2017\/02\/09\/the-illusion-of-a-green-garden\/\">Read more<\/a>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2554,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2,38,12,19,9,18,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cinema","category-co-calculation","category-energy-efficiency","category-feature","category-lightening","category-production","category-studio-tv","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2553"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2553\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2560,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2553\/revisions\/2560"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
