Prince Edward Station (太子站)

Hong Kong's Prince Edward MTR station, rebuilt in 3D for a short film about 31 August 2019.

On 31 August 2019, police charged into Prince Edward station and onto a stopped train. I rebuilt the station in 3D for a short film about that night.

太子站, the finished film, with sound.

Process

I worked it up in passes: a first camera setup, then the station’s ticketing machines, then a material transition on them, then the finished shot.
