The set
A full set was built in a studio in Lausanne to create the bathroom.
Making of
Through an intensive five-day shoot, we faced many challenges ranging from: directing kids, POV camera moves, movement symmetry and make up marathon sessions. Up to 50 takes were needed to “nail” each scene of the film.
VFX
Although the reflection’s trick was practically an actual hole in our set, many hours were spent in post production to add texture, stickers and cracks to the mirror’s plane.
