"Bloody Mary: A nightmare Collaboration by Mark Harris and Timur Civan"

Were there like pumps or squibs or anything invlolved with the blood though?

No squibs, but we did pump blood at one point. But it was a remarkably low-tech solution. Just like surgical tubes and Timur blowing through one end at the right pressure to get the effect we wanted (Insert Timur blowing joke here!).

In the end, I think keeping it as simple as possible is the best. For instance, check out Timur's reflector for the CU shot of the Virgin statue in my sig:

Yes, he is using the actual storyboards as a reflector. In general, this is my favorite part about working with that guy: he just has no rules. If it gets the image, he'll do it.

-"No it was a piece of insulation material i found on the street held near his face."

What is that from?
 
This director i know in Turkey, he shoots like Coca Cola/Deutche Bank commercials, wins awards all the time, and people ask him abut how he gts beautiful imagery. Like for example in one scene, a soccer ball hits the ground in a Coke commercial, but it hits the ground so hard its like an earthquake. and the image vibrates.

A insider magazine asked hi how he got that great effect, whether it was in an After effects like program or if he used a shake plate, liek a vibrator yo uattach to the camer that makes perfect shakes. his reply way " i kicked the tripod really hard"

That line was kinda based on his thinking.
 
Can't wait to see this. You guys got me excited about learning how to create scarier images. "Timur's Tips" (:)) are wonderfully practical and definitely pushed me during Alex's shoot. Love that bit about the abstract lighting on the previous page. Keep 'em coming.
 
I concur. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with. I am sure to be amazed. Especially after the litte screenshot I was shown that tells me how much detail went into this movie. Mark and Timur are both talented individually and combined are like Voltron, a force to be reckoned with. Good thing I got their help on my short! And let me tell you they were both a tremendous help. That just goes to show that when it comes to helping out a friend and fellow DVXuser it is not about the competition but about being a stand up guy, which everyone on my set was. Except for the women, who were attractive, classy professionals who acted their arses off.

By the way, if you haven't seen Manhole IV and are just catching up with the end of this thread, go here. This is the latest installment in a hilarious series by Mark Harris (Desperatecomfort).

"Gotcha *****!"
 
Thanks for the kind words Alex. When you throwing up a thread of your own?

Also, I got your voice mail, just been swamped. Will give you a shout in the next couple of days.
 
Getting there with the poster..... Once it passes the "Harris" test it will be posted.
 
A couple of BTS grabs. I give you:
