TECNO CAMON Show’s ‘Hidden Figure’ is a visually appealing short film, shot entirely on the CAMON 20 Premier and skillfully directed by Kayode Kasum.
While the storyline of ‘Hidden Figure’ may echo the familiar Disney Channel trope of the ugly duckling transforming into a beauty, it ultimately delivers a feel-good experience. The film acknowledges that it embraces this well-known narrative structure, and instead focuses on showcasing the capabilities of the TECNO Camon’s camera, capturing mesmerizing visuals that captivate the audience.
It’s worth mentioning that ‘Hidden Figure’ ties up loose ends a bit too conveniently, presenting a rather idealistic resolution that may not mirror real-life complexities. However, it’s important to understand that the film’s intention lies not in offering groundbreaking originality, but rather in providing an enjoyable and uplifting experience. Viewers should approach the film with this mindset, appreciating it for the visual splendor it presents and the inspiring message it conveys.
