We’ve seen HDR make life look hyperreal before but this short film takes it to another level. The chapel is real, built in 1796 in Poland, but it looks like something out of Gears of War. Just watch.
The astonishing, unreal parts are seen around the 1:25 mark. I know HDR always has this sort of unnatural effect on things, it just always surprises me how out of this world it can get.
You can watch the behind the scenes look at how ‘The Chapel’ was made too:
