Following Nodachi’s involvement with Nollywood meets Hollywood movie – Turning Point, we picked up the cast for an interview. Turning points main cast, Ernie Hudson, K.D. Aubert, Igoni Archibong and Oge Okoye were interviewed at the Melai White House Hotel in London.

We have recently wrapped on a two month project to deliver a colossal 144 films to Rank Interactive for their up-coming X Factor based game; The Fame Game. Players will be able to pick one of 6 characters who’s backstories and interactions were developed, scripted and shot by Nodachi. Playing to our best talents (delivering content on tight budgets and deadlines) we managed to shoot the 144 films required to drive the games narrative.

Nodachi were able to get all access to the X Factor set in Fountain Studios. We shot 24 films each for the 6 characters, and used over 25 locations with 15 supporting cast. Throughout the project we shot a whopping 81 mins of edited footage, and over 28 hours of rush. The equivalent of a feature film.

More updates on the games progress soon!

Video Scribble or Live Scribe is a new form of animated communication thats catching on fast. So when Lebara Mobile asked us to produce one we were excited to try it out. We partnered with Remote Goat, a new talent scouting website to find ourselves an artist that was able to carefully draw, ink and then colour all the slides we’d need to create the commercial.

In the usual Lebara style, we made two versions; one for the African corridor and one for the Indian corridor.

Turning point is the second feature film from Nigerian born director Niyi Towolawi. After the success of his first film; Twisted, Niyi embarked on the Hollywood Nollywood blend called Turning Point. TP was shot in Nigeria and the USA on the Sony F3 camera. Nodachi took up the post production when the director returned to London to complete the film. We supplied a fine cut, grade and sourced sound post and sponsorship for the films release.

Turning Point will be in cinemas towards the end of November, if your a Nollywood film fan, this film is tipped to a game changer in the industry.
