Planet Lulin
Episode directed: S1 E6 ‘Double Trouble’
Production Company: Princess Pictures

Lulin wasn't expecting to develop alien powers, or intergalactic invaders to crash her school science comp, but hey, Year 6 is full of surprises!
Episode 6 of Planet Lulin Season 1 (‘Double Trouble’) sees Lulin accidentally cloning herself to create her own double, in order to infilitrate the Alpha Squad.
The challenges of Lulin’s doppelganger episode was paramount from the outset, having to work hard and fast on a tight schedule whilst requiring an excessive amount of time from our lead talent, Nina Gallas. Being clever with our angles, and tapping into a shooting strategy that leaned heavily on Nina’s double was the one and only way to get the job done!
Working with this lead cast was mind-blowing to watch. The crew were consistently in awe of our hero trio’s ability to be fun, professional and nailing fast pivots in direction. The outcome of the episode was one laced with that classic Lulin sillyness, and a few fun visual effects along the way.
