I love cemeteries, there's so much cool stuff to shoot. Nothing great, just for fun.

Oh man, those were beautiful. Cemetaries are so pretty.I loved the racked focus at the end.
One time I had to shoot in a cemetary in the middle of the night, without a permit of course. So there's 4 of us running through the middle of this cemetary, being careful not to be loud because they had a night watchman. I've got the DVX and my tripod, the sound recordist had the boom and mixer, and our 2 actors. We get to the spot, shoot 3 takes and run like hell. Good times.

Nice! I love hearing stories like that. It comforts me to know I'm not the only one running around without permits. Thanks for the encouragement.

Love a cemetary; where were the undead? :D
Would it be in bad taste to take some grabs from your clip and photoshop in some zombies? ;)

If it weren't for bad taste, I'd have no taste at all... I'll work on it. ;)
btw... John- I love the Return of the Living Dead exchange in your signature. Brilliant film!

LOL
I was already thinking "Man, I could use this footage!". San Diego is kind of lacking in the goth cemetaries. "Brains!"

If you need anything... just say the word. We don't have a lot around here, but if you know where to look, you can find some good stuff.

Beautiful.
*Edit. I'm glad that that's the post that made me Platinum.

Looks right out of the movie "Phantasm", one of my all time favorite horror films. You gotta love the DVX, I sure do!

Wow! Thanks for the compliments. Phantasm is also one of my favorites.
I'll focus more on racks in a later project. I have a buddy who bounces at a strip club... we'll see. ;)
