Macgregor-
I watched the Similo teaser when you posted it on cinemek a couple months back. Glad to see the final product - looks great!

Ok, i will try to summarize some of the contributors here.
Zacha is the "gay" friend co-director, which worked a lot in the script. It took him 9 version until we were happy.
David Loher did an amazing job designing the similo/robot. You can see his wonderfull website here:
www.scienceunderfire.com
We have the Hebe´s voice over done by Sarah Jarman, which i don´t know her personally. She was recorded by the sound guys and directed by Mr. Kassana in London, and they did a pretty good job.
JL. Legarraga is credited as coproducer since he put the money to buy a €4,000 DLP projector used for the car scenes (and it was later refund, lol).
Original music for the film was composed by this four guys. They really gave all their help after reading a post on a forum. I couldnt have done anything without music. The problem is that we run out of time, so there is not all the music that we would have liked to have.
Cyros Hogg made by himself the complicated CGI shot of the laying man on the road. Quite a challenge.
As i said, what you see here is not the final result, and he made a much better animation and render one day after deadline. You will be able to see it on the website once the film fest is finished.
Helena trapero helped me to find sound libraries and i finished the job editing the audio and musics.
The Cinemek team provided the G35 beta adapter.
I used a 50mm nikon f1.8 and a nikon 24mm (only in 2 shots) since i do not have more nikon lenses.
There is a scene that was done without the G35 because i forgot it on my car. It is easy to discover which one it is.
Camera was on thin mode (except for those in interlaced mode), since it is better for me when going to 16:9 and SFX are created better.
If you have any other question i will be happy to try to answer them. :]

mmmm....
I will talk about the car scene later, when more people watch the shortilm.
We picked the clothes at a snowboard store. I had in mind the colors that i wanted to play along.
She in white, so the contrast in the dark landscape looks nice. With some orange and black, which go together very well.
She is in white in the outhside, but she wears black underwear in the white indoors, just to make some more contrast between inside and outside.
He is wearing an orange coat as a combination of her orange details (in her boots and some parts of the coat) beacuse he belongs to her. And orange goes well with black of the road and landscape.
But he is wearing a white shirt in the end, because he is new.
And she is wearing a black shirt at the end, because he went white (when she was happy) to black.
Sorry for the long explanation. Clothes were quite expensive too but we return them all to the store. This is how we make movies in spain. LOL.
About the team...
Well the production team is a formidable crew consisting in TWO guys. Zacha and me, as you can see us here:

In my opinion the guy was not accusing anyone he was just worried about rules and helping to fix it by explaining it to mcgregor. The movie is really great and something like this could not drag it down at all.

Mac,
Visual beauty. I have nothing else to say. I see no other coment that could have any effect. I just can't find any one of the thousand words to match your piece.
Someone give this guy an Oscar.
