ALOHOMORA PICTURES worked on the theme "Escape Reality," offering viewers a fresh perspective. The project uses an immersive visual experience to show the beauty and calm of winter. The entire production took about two months, from the initial idea to the finished film, with the team creating a custom room in the studio for the shoot.

You might be wondering if creating infinite rooms requires lots of different rooms. Actually, we don’t need anything complicated—a simple room combined with clever editing is all it takes to create the illusion of endless space.
Before we started shooting, we first used a 3D model to simulate and calculate the overall width of the room, as well as the timing for transitioning to the next room.
This helped ensure we could precisely control the timing during editing, making the transitions smooth. The simulation also gave us a clear understanding of the wall thickness needed for the room.
Do we really need to be so precise about wall thickness? Yup, we do! It's all about making the space feel real.
When shooting, every detail must be controlled. For example, a person’s movement between rooms should take exactly 7 seconds—not too fast or too slow. If the timing is off, it can cause gaps between rooms during editing, making the scene feel disconnected and unnatural.
Winter tones – it’s not just about the snowy white landscapes. We focus on contrast in every shot, adjusting everything from the lighting to the background. These small details are all about making the visuals richer and giving the audience a better viewing experience.
We wanted to create a lively atmosphere and fill the empty room with energy. To do this, we designed a unique background and lighting, while seamlessly incorporating Uni's winter collection. Each piece became a little highlight, adding visual appeal and naturally drawing the audience’s attention.
