Award-winning shortfilm director David Weinstein‘s resume is literally a who’s-who in blockbuster filmmaking. The animation and pre-viz effects whiz, best known for his work on films like Men In Black 3, The Matrix 2 and 3, Godzilla and Hercules, took his credentials to task to much avail in the acclaimed 2010 short, Azureus Rising, and has now returned with a newly released conceptual sci-fi action short, Envoy. It’s a pretty damn good concept and a shame if no one picks up on it.
E N V O Y is a science fiction, action adventure, short film to be used as a proof of concept for a larger full-length motion picture. It is the story of a troubled young boy who befriends a deadly alien creature, and embarks on a life changing journey.
A love-letter to many of the classic action-adventure and science fiction films of the ’80s & ’90s, ENVOY is a passion-project created by Director DAVID WEINSTEIN and Visual Effects Supervisor ADAM COGGIN.
Weinstein and his team combined traditional film-making techniques with cutting-edge visual effects and animation to meticulousl craft the nine-minute short film. The goal is to introduce the story and concept of ENVOY to fans and financiers while demonstrating the teams ability to craft high-budget content for a fraction of the cost.
