Linko is a film based on chroma key technique integrating real people with CG environments. Xosé Zapata, producer and co-director explains the principal peculiarities of this type of film, and the especial novelty of using new digital “Red One” cameras.

Last year, in “Ciudad de la Luz” Studios Linko was filmed with this type of camera with 4K resolution, and although the use of these cameras is now in common use, Red cameras and others of similar characteristics open new possibilities for independent films who want to use special effects and CG images as well as the big producers.

Therefore, Linko is a film made between the green of chroma and the red of Red One cameras.

"Red cameras and others of similar characteristics open new possibilities for independent films "
