Consol Glass
Fausto Becatti
Chris Parks shot the in-camera fluid effects for Consol Glass (2019, directed by Fausto Becatti).
Chris worked with Bioscope films to create the manufacturing of not only the glass bottle but also the contents that fill it. Chris used both his signature fluid events for the sequence but also shot some of the raw ingredients, including sand, silica and glass.
A passion project for director Fausto Becatti, involving microscopic and macroscopic lenses — and commissioning the world-renowned Chris Parks, a specialist in capturing chemical reactions.
95 percent of the shots were filmed in-camera, with only two CGI constructions making it into the final cut — achieved with specialist rigs, macro lenses, and alchemical science.
