Director's Statement
This film was filmed at LIGHTRAY Multimedia Studios, in Mogi das Cruzes, São Paulo, Brasil, measuring 38 m² and 2,70 m in height.
It was edited using a notebook DELL G15 5511 G Series; memory: 500GB, NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3050, 6GB, GDDR6; Processor Intel Core i7, 13th generation (i7 - 13650HX).
This film was a directing challenge because the place we had to shoot the scenes demanded a lot of calculus to make the perspectives feasible, besides the VFX needed to compose each apartment from the correspondent perspective. The computer used to edit the film (and the editor) "suffered".
