Automan lives again in the Hewlogram short starring David Hewlett

Remember Automan? It was a 1980s sci-fi show where a hologram (Chuck Wagner) came to life and fought crime. He is back in a short film and is played by David Hewlett (Stargate: Atlantis).

A modern-day animator accidentally awakens a holographic superhero from 1983.

This new short is by writer/director Aharon Rabinowitz. It is actually promoting special effects software and filmmaking company Red Giant who produced Hewlogram to promote the release of its Red Giant Universe 2.2 tools for filmmakers and visual effects producers.

Make sure you watch to the very end if you remember the original show.

Here is how they made it.
