July 28, 2008—Orbita Max has completed photography on The Magic Tale, the first stereoscopic 3D Spanish film. Filming completed on July 24 after a three-week shoot in Barcelona. The Barcelona shoot followed a three-month shoot in Namibia and South Africa that took place from March-May 2008. Filming in Barcelona took place on sets and at city exteriors like the Hospital de Sant Pau, Sant Sebastià beach, and on many streets in the Eixample, Poblenou, and Barceloneta neighborhoods.

The actors involved in the Barcelona shoot were Adrià Collado, starring as Jana’s father; Leonor Watling as the Fairy; Verónica Blume as Jana’s mother; Eva Gerretsen playing the main character, Jana (all pictured here with director, scriptwriter, and producer Jordi Llompart); and Namibian child actor Michael Van Wyk playing Kabbo.

With photography now complete, post-production on The Magic Tale will take place at Apuntolapospo in Barcelona, with digital special effects to be completed by Entropy Studio in Zaragoza, Spain. The film is scheduled to be released in December 2009 and will be presented at the Films in Production session at the GSCA International Conference and Trade Show in Jersey City this September.
