Killzone: Intercept is a short fan film directed by Infectious Designer, the alias of filmmaker Brian Curtin. The film was released on November 2, 2012.
Plot
The short film takes place during the early events of Killzone 3. A small ISA squad is ordered to prevent a large contingent of Helghast troops from intercepting the retreating ISA convoy from reaching the extraction point. Outnumbered, the squad takes on the task with hopes of getting everyone off Helghan alive.
Production
Film director Brian Curtin had help in writing, production and photography from Taylor Robinson and Jason Wallis of Six Foot Five Productions.[1]
Curtin and his crew communicated their film plans to the developers from Guerrilla Games, who were supportive of the project and gave them permission to use the soundtracks, sound effects, a few 3D elements from the Killzone games, and promotion after the film's release.[1][2] The film took over two years to complete; beginning with pre-production involving costume designs, filming locations, and script writing in the first year. In the second year, filming was done in February of 2011 in Birmingham, Alabama.[2] Birmingham's industrial area, including Sloss Furnaces and Wade Sand & Gravel, were chosen for reproducing Helghan's setting.[1][2] The filming took over eight days and follow by editing and post-production.[2]
The film was shot with a Red Epic camera, with the VFX and compositing created in After Effects.[3] The 3D animation and special effects were crafted by Goran Zovkic and Michael Eves, with Daniel Enrique De Leon taking care of the visual art. The Capture Trooper suit was designed by Anthony Kitchens and the make-up by Kathryn Petras.[2][3]
