I begin filming august 24th at my local community college. Ive been wanting to shoot a short there ever since a caught a glimpse of the stair case that leads into the basement of my college. I got some good actors and a pretty solid story so i hope every thing turns out well and good luck to everyone else!

GREAT poster man, looking forward to your film.

Excellent work Nick with the poster!!! I love that kind of posters, white background and some creepy theme in the foreground....and I love staircases that lead to basements...a MUST for horror....Good luck with your project!!

[EyeBalls]

thanks guys. Hopefully it will turn out. I should have some production stills up tommarow...

[Slimothy]

Good poster, reminds me a bit of Saw. Which is a good thing.

[cinealma]

Yeah, props to the poster. I could EASILY see that up in a preview box at the local cineplex.

Kewel.

Mebbe best poster yet!

[cinealma]

I agree.

[Jared Meyer]

Me too....Love the poster. I think you should repost your other version in this thread too. I like it even better than this one with the wrench. Do you work in graphic design? I'd love to hear how you did these.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

yeah you could thumbnail the old poster with a link or just put the old poster in a new post ... I never saw it though but would like to compare.

[Jared Meyer]

Actually he posted them in the general horrorfest forum first...I just checked, and they're still there:

The poster with the dark red stairwell is so incredibly cool!

[EyeBalls]

Thanks guys! Yes im in graphic design, but specialized in motion graphics. I kinda do print stuff on the side as a hobby. The place i work at is www.ringsidecreative.com (http://www.ringsidecreative.com) out in detroit. Its been slow lately so ive been just nailin out some of the side projects ive been wanting to do at work..

[MOVIE STUNTS]

Sweet poster!!! Good luck on the shoot, lookin forward to some grabs.

[slim pickens]

love the poster and banner...looking forward to checking out some grabs...and best of luck to you

Hey Forshee--

Great posters. Both are totally wall-worthy. If there's a best poster category in the fest, my votes cast here. It's very professional, and the second one reminds me of PSYCHO.

Great.

I also noticed that you're running on a low-budget, yeah? The lamp you've got setup is killer; hilarious. How did that turn out in camera? Think it's worth posting a still up at the front of the thread?

haha kholi, budget doesnt exist in my dictionary dude. Im probably the cheapest film maker you will meet. However i wont sacrifice quality for my cheapness. If it cant be made then ill buy it. But for now dollies, booms, cranes, lights, or anything else that can be made will be made. (unless im recieving a budget :) )
You might recognize my boom the next time you paint :)

Id say the footage turned out pretty good. With a little bit of color correction and desaturation i think the overall shot is what i needed.

im not a lighting expert and unfortunately i dont know any either so i just set it up to the way it looks right to me.....


thanks for the comments on the posters!

[VersuS]

My boom is used to mop the floors....

[VersuS]

and my 2nd dolly can be found in super markets (dont tell my local store they have one cart missing....)

[dvpixl]

looks good

[Kholi]

You gotta use what you gotta use, dude! The grabs look nice, so obviously whatever you're doing is working just fine.

And neato job on the actors, as well. It's good to see some aged faces being put in front of the camera for the fest.

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Yeah the guy in the turtleneck has a really great look. :thumbsup:

[EyeBalls]

Ha, when i saw him i knew he would be perfect to play the proffessor. Overall hes been doing a good job with the script so thats a thumbs up for me!

[Lingothree]

Very cool posters. Good work.

[luster]
