Killer Sound

Phew....managed to upload KILLER SOUND early this morning.

We promise you'll see some of the SCARIEST AUDIO in motion picture history!!
 
Okay, looks like KILLER SOUND isn't uploaded on any of the mirror sites yet, but soon after it is, I will offer a prize to whomever can first answer a question regarding the little short film.
 
I laughed a little bit. But, obviously, this was meant as a joke. Hey, do you guys work for Shure? :evil:

Ok it might not be horror but I pissed myself.

After watching about 2 hours of short horror films I have to say it was a breath of fresh air. 2 of us watched it and we both were laughing out loud as it was just absurd :-)

So no, not the scariest thing here, but oddly enough just the thing we needed in a competition like this. good fun.
 
As promised, there will be a PRIZE GIVAWAY to whomever can first answer a question regarding KILLER SOUND. Will post the question tonight.

(Prize is an on-camera LED light with battery pack.)
 
:) Cracked me up.

and

Awesome reflection shot on the hood. I too backed it up for another look.
 
I thought this was the perfect comic relief in a fest such as this, particularly considering the strong opinions expressed by the site's "sound men." They should love this. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)
 
Okay, VERY cool that it had the desired effect! Many thanks for the feedback and comments. They are much appreciated.

Time to set a few things straight. First off, I am actually VIDLED. It's a long story; but basically I couldn't log into that account at the time of starting this thread. Jarred sorted it all out a few weeks later.
Since the original post is basically just a RED HERRING anyway (fake picture), I just kept it going like this.

So, back to KILLER SOUND: we didn't have much time doing this. We were sans cams for a few weeks (we had just sold our two DVXs). Once we got the HVX, I had to go for a shoot to LA with it. We managed to squeeze in a couple of shots for KILLER SOUND before I left, but were basically going to pull the plug, as it didn't look like we were going to finish this. Then, on October 1st, 4 p.m. we decided to go ahead anyway. So, with the deadline about 8 hours away we decided to go for it. We shot more than 80% that afternoon/evening. Final outside fog scene was shot at 11:15PM EST. Then edited and cranked the compressed files out; uploaded at about 3 a.m. October 2nd.

All shot on HVX but in NTSC to MiniDV.

The opening scene is done with a wireless pan/tilt head on a car mount kit. Driver is also operating the pan/tilt head.
And since as I was traveling so much, and away from family for too long, this ended up being a family project. So, my wife and kids are crew and actors. Hey, it was a neat way to spend some fun time together. Some outtakes are here: WMV file, 3MB
(only watch AFTER 'Killer Sound', as it'll spoil the punchline I guess)

Prize givaway: We'll give away a VIDLED light with battery pack and charger (will be a used, or demo unit, but perfectly working) to the first who PMs me the CORRECT THREE (3) HINTS to the ending in KILLER SOUND. I.e. there are THREE very distinct [visual] HINTS in KILLER SOUND that leads up to the ENDING. Simply correctly identify the three things, and PM them to me, and whoever gets it right first, wins the VIDLED light. (This will end when the first correct answer is received, or Friday, Oct. 13th, 11:59:59PM, whichever comes first). One entry per person only - at least at this time, we might allow multiple entries if no one gets the correct answer by Wednesday.


Good luck, and thanks for watching.

Review | POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT! I watch the movies first time around strictly for enjoyment, second and third for review.

L M F A O. Dude, You and Draco take the cake for funniest entries. It was so hilarious. I mean it started off with some CRAZY nice visuals. Great hood shot that made me go "dang that was hot.". Some nice budget lighting at night. Clean looking fog. Then it breaks into a terror scene. Here is exactly how it played out for me.

Kholi: Man not another one with no story. GEEZ.

Mother: What is it!?!?!?

Kholi: Wtf just run chic!

Microphone: - Creeps into frame. -

Daughter: Seinheiser M-66!

Kholi: - Dies laughing in his fluffy green chair. -

Man that was so great. I have to show that to my boss at work. I love it. Thanks for the comic relief, man.

On a side note: I want to check out some serious work from you. Those shots were clean and rather cinematic. And tell the girl she did a good job on line delivery. She didn't even say "It's a seinheiser m-66!"... she just said "Seinheiser M-66!"

That killed me!
 
Until the mic, I thought...dude this could put the other guys against a true competitor...then the mic came it......
I thought it was funny though and I actually laughed out loud. Nice shooting!
 
Prize givaway: getting some answers PMed already. None are 100% correct though. Looks like the 2nd clue (out of the 3) might be a bit more difficult to get than I thought. It IS obvious, but maybe only to an audio-person?

The prize givaway rules: We'll give away a VIDLED light with battery pack and charger (will be a used, or demo unit, but perfectly working) to the first who PMs me the CORRECT THREE (3) HINTS to the ending in KILLER SOUND.

Marius, great twist. You got me!!!

First of all, I thought that the opening sequence was beautiful. I love the reflection in the hood of the car. I thought that it was water at first but didn't make any sense with the moving trees. Confused and a good way. Then when you pan off the front of the car and onto the road, it became clear. Very nice camera work.

I was really enjoying this film until the car pulled over and the girl ran into the woods! I was like, WHAT??? I know that is a cliche, but this is the most blatant use of cliche that I have ever seen!!! Then of course, the surprise!

Great diversion! Thanks for the laugh! Wonderful!!!
