GORSEHILL FARM - Weston

Sick poster. Love the way the the title looks like it's cut out of the barn. Is Gorsehill Farm the actual name of the place where the actual events took place?

Thanks for the complement. The farm we are filmming at goes by a different name, but I didnt want to use it for fear of pissing off the real crazy guy that lives next to it.

updates? shot anything yet?
... and oh yeah ... what actual events inspired it?

it'd be great buzz starter if you posted links to news articles on the actual event etc.

plus I'd just find that interesting, and think it would be cool to watch the film in that context.

It is pretty loosely based on a true story. I myself worked on a farm near my house for about 4 years. All during this time I had to go and do chores at a creepy old barn. Next to this barn lived a man some people joked was a murderer. He was pretty scary though. Around this same time I heard about a murder at a different dairy farm. That kinda became the basis for the story.

Nice grabs man, they look great. I did some farm work when I was a wee lad in jolly olde england. But I don't have any creepy stories :)

Good luck man! Looking forward to it!
 
Hey thanks alot fellows...should be some more following soon.

Hey I just saw he grabs. Nice.
Is it England? Some look like my parents farm in Texas.

Nope...its Ohio....though I bet most dairy farms look pretty much the same.

EDIT:

I believe it's in Ohio... correct me if I am wrong Weston...

Correct
 
oh ok, appylon reffered to his experience in England, I thought he was saying that's where your film is too, and Gorsehill sounds Englandy.
 
I also think your grabs look very nice. The horrorfest DVD is going to be the best example to date of what the DVX/HVX can do.
 
Thanks also to those above that liked the grabs.

For an update:

On our second day of filming we got alot of good stuff....but unfortunately eventually ran out of time. (as can be seen in the picture below) Therefore..we've got to go back today and film again...pretty last minute, but I think it will go well. Editing all we have now has given me a better view of what we are going to need and what we don't.

Note: (this grab will definately not be in the movie...I'm just posting it as an example of how dark it was when we ran out of time)

Anyway....thanks for the interest...I'll update after filming is done today.
 
Weston, LOVE the those screen grabs! My mom's family always had a farm and the imagination I had back then while wondering through there was friggin' unreal, so I'm most definitely looking forward to see what yours is like. :) There's all sorts of crazy stuff that can happen out there.

Good luck!

Thanks for the comments aram and edgen. No I am not using an HVX...though I'm glad you thought I might be. The dvx is capable of some pretty good looking footage when filming outside. Edgen...I worked at that farm for 5 years and my mind was always racing with what horrible things could happen to me. Unfortunately I didnt really have enough time to sqeeze in any of the fears but one....though I think its what I was most afraid of.

Compressing and uploading was a terrible ordeal...as I know it was for alot of people. Sadly the movie doesnt look nearly as good compressed...but thats alright.

Just to warn you......this is a different type of short. It doenst really stick with the short film structure at all. Its more of an event....or occurence that you are viewing from a distance...not really knowing all the details. Thats what I wanted to do..something different...but I'm not sure how it will go over.

Anyway...thats really all there is new to update. I'm not expecting to win anything...just to enter for the fun of it and gain some experience. Looking forward to seeing everyones entrys and getting this contest started.

Thanks
