KORETH

A science-fiction short developed one physical shot at a time.

The frame begins as an object.

KORETH is the working title of a first science-fiction short in development. The film is not finished. What exists now is the physical starship, a first-draft screenplay and a method for earning the film one shot at a time.

The miniature carries 72 individually addressable lighting channels driven by an ESP32 and three TLC5947 boards with 12-bit PWM. Windows, engines and practicals can be captured as deliberate states instead of baked into one irreversible pass.

Planned capture combines those states with the motion-control rig and ALIVE tests. The photographed ship remains the source; compositing extends the world around it.

The screenplay is a first draft. KORETH remains a working title, and the images on this page are camera and lighting studies — not frames from a completed short.
