What's going on?

Mark Harris:
Just saw Crist Ballas.
At the Mpls 48 hr fest awards.
He liked the film very much.
He is a sexy motherfucker.
So are you.

Hooray for sexy motherfuckers!

Wait, can I say that word in here?

Well I guess I'm a little slow. So, 'your' the actress in that ?
Looking at the avatar now, it does look similiar. Huh, I'll be damned.
Well, congrats. Pretty cool flick and awesome job by everyone.

//Or wait. Am I being had here?

Most definitely NOT the actress. She was my "ass director." I mean, "ass't director."

So I watched this again last night and loved it all over again. My wife, whom I got to watch it this time, turned to me afterwards and goes 'well that was professional!'.

A few tiny things. First, the shotgun. Dude, you're skills are too good to be using a cheap plastic p.o.s. gun like that, it looks really fake. Real shotguns are $250, go get one. Failing that, its not hard to find someone who has one. Scared of using real guns? I'm sure there's a good airsoft and not that plastic one. Also about the white rope, is she really going to kill him? I didn't think she was since its a joke that a woman of that size could choke a guy with a cord like that, but then I saw another comment earlier saying it should have been piano wire. Hmm, if you were trying to say she was going to kill him then yes it should have been a different item.

Love the off-kilter cinematography! It really does it for me in those moments when they go high and time slows, very well done. I wish you could have had a Red or Phantom and gotten some 100+fps stuff in there to really crank it.

I'm beyond amazed at the prop guy you got to do that corpse, freaky sht there man. Adds an amazing value! Also great work on the makeup, especially that scene where the girl is soaked in his blood. Btw, did the lead actress actually cut and dye her hair for this movie?

Amazing efforts, thanks!

Thanks dude.:Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

The gun was an airsoft gun, blame me for the fakeyness, I've never shot anything with a gun in it, or even a gun for that matter, so I don't know what they're supposed to look like.

We got an amazing makeup artist to help with this http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0050698/, he just slapped a wig on her and worked his magic.

Thanks Shawneus. That actually is an airsoft gun. I don't have any problem with a real one. But I think we were trying to get it as cheap as possible is all.

As for the rope, yeah, I guess so, but when we were shooting that scene, I was on the ground under the actress, holding the rope so she could really pull hard on it. And it hurt like a *****. I mean, in reality, it could easily be used to strangle someone. I don't quite understand why people think she couldn't...

I guess the shininess throws people off, but anyway, it is what it is at this point, so just one more thing to look for next time.

I too wish I had had a red to get 120 out of the frame rates. We are planning on shooting our next one on RED, I think.

the guy who made the corpse is a genius make-up guy and ALSO did the black widow make-up on the actress. She did not cut her hair, that is a $20 wig with Crist's magic applied to it. He gave her remarkable detail too. In the CU of her hands, you can see he made dirt under her nails, he gave her thin little veins on her face, a nice big scrape on her knee. I had mentioned these things in talking to him about it, but actually never imagined the detail he would go into on them.

Yeah, he rules.

Did you see a full on grab of the corpse? Here's a grab:

I just wanted to throw up another word about just how amazing our make-up guy was. Not only did he do a great job on Linnea, but he also did the "corpse" for us. It makes a very brief appearance in the film, as I had storyboarded it.

But Crist went ahead and built it so that we could shoot it from any angle if we wanted.

WARNING: REALLY REALLY GROSS!!!! NO, SERIUOSLY, REALLY REALLY GROSS. CLICK AT YOUR OWN RISK

P.S. - NOT A RICKROLL
