I am updating this thread since the time has come to release it for HorrorFest. This little project is called
'Love is the most deceptive feeling'. It is a story about a guy who has been dumped by his girlfriend and tries to cope with that in his own demented way.
I have shot this in the form of a video clip, since I wrote a song that plays along the video, so there is no dialogue or whatever. But I have added some 'lyrics' in the form of floating text in various shots...in order to put the viewer in the right mood and make the movie more dramatic.
I wouldn't call it a film actually, more like video art. But it's bloody and messy and disturbing (not scary though).

Some interesting facts about it:

- I shot most of it on my own, in my appartment.
- For 2 shots I had my brother in one and Stratos (co-producer) in the other to handle the camera.
- It was the first time I use my KRYOLAN blood and it rocked! If you want to spend a few money on some top quality blood, I would definitely suggest KRYOLAN.
- Blood can be slippery especially in a bathtub, so be careful.
- Blood can also hurt like hell if it comes in contact with your eyes, so be careful again.
- The song was written a few years back with Soundtrack Pro.
- Editing with Premiere Pro2.0 (w/Magic Bullets)

You can watch some BTS grabs here

After this is all over, we have decided to make a special (lol) DVD that will contain both movies, this one and The Door Between, along with BTS, artwork, interviews (double lol), funnies etc.

Yes, you can show any promotional material as well as pre, production, and post material as long as it isnt any actual footage from the film. Good luck.
 
the title of your movie reminds me of the Indecision song called Falling in love is like setting yourself on fire and hoping you won't get burned. Nice poster too by the way, simple but intruiging
 
thanx ! actually this film is more like a video clip...it is enriched with lyric-like quotes that sort of guide you through what's happening....so this is kinda putting some people off because it's not a real (what's real anyhow) movie....

if I were to categorise it myself I would put it in video clip/video art....

anyway, I read somewhere that you can put more than 1 of your works here, so I have another project that I'm about to finish soon and I would love to be able to finish another one (I'm writting a new script influenced by The Tenant of Polanski) so I hope that I'll be able to show something else as well

Sounds different but definitely interesting.
 
A few details on the short.

Basically it is a love story but it also 'talks' about the mind and the tricks it can play. To be honest, in most of the things I have done so far, it seems that I can't stop 'playing' with the games of the mind and trying to let the viewer decide what exactly is going on, even though I always have a clear picture in my head about the story.

A few technical things as well:

I starred in the film and that was a bit tricky when it came to directing myself coz apart from 2 shots that I got some help from my brother and my best friend, the rest I did them on my own so I had to do a lot of back and forth to check the shots . But it was fun doing it myself and I wasnt a hard@ss to the director, hehehe.

I enjoyed the scenes with all the blood coz it was the first time that I actually got to use it, I had it for 6 months but I never got the chance to use it in a movie so it was great and I think it worked quite well, money well spent I guess.

The music is a piece I wrote 2 years ago when I was playing around with Soundtrack Pro at my old job and my brother who is a sound engineer, helped me to extend it a bit so that it got to 2 minutes.

And the poster was made by my best friend and co-founder of cut 2 the chase production, Stratos.

All in all it was a very tiring experience coz I did it all (script, shooting, editing) in 4 days and it might seem ok to you with the experience you have, but to me it was ...an ARGH! situation.

So that's it for now...
 
lot's of blood eh?
look forward to it :thumbsup:
hey if you shot it after June (which means it's elligible) and you've already wrapped, you should get screen grabs and stuff up here.

:) Even 2 minutes is worth showing :) Can't wait to see some behind the scens or concept art if you have any from this project! Thankyou for sharing!
 
I will get you some grabs this afternoon when I get back home. I don't have any concept art, I actually never do any...whenever I start a project I mostly do lots of writting (shot lists, scripts -lots of versions-, and lots of notes...).
 
Ok, Here are some grabs from the movie! The last 2 with the butcher's knife are with&without the filters used.

These are from shooting....I am trying to get rid of the blood.
In the second you can catch a glimpse of my baby in the mirror (talking about my panny and not my friend lol)

In the last I was really in pain coz blood had dripped in my eye and it hurt like hell!

A brief synopsis for this movie as well:

A man is left devastated after his girlfriend leaves him. Anger and pain overwhelm him as he tries to push away his darkest fears. Will he succumb to the dark within or is it all a game inside his head?
 
Well this one is finished, wrapped up, waiting to be released October 1st. It's screaming to me....in the night....'let me out'...but I hush it back to sleep
 
Did you buy your fake blood or did you make it?

If you made it, what ingredients did you use? It looks good.
 
Bought it actually. I was thinking of making, the usual corn syrup recipe but I couldnt get my hands on any corn syrup in Greece...dont know why....so anyway I found this website and ordered a few items...KRYOLAN is the brand
very cool blood, very very very cool blood!

Check the website: http://www.kryolan.com/en/Home/Home.htm


Actually the link above is for the company KRYOLAN...I couldnt find the website from where I bought it...but you can always google it of course
