cool little "title"
To answer some of your guys pm's to me as John has me forward it here:
The camera used in this production was a Panasonic DVX100A.
Sorry 'bout not having behind-the-scenes shots, this production had one day to
translate into film and due to time constraints, it wasn't possible to take a lot of
stills.
This short film was shot in B&W to pay homage to the old time classics.
The driver was not a "zombie" but a type of "Frankenstein" - a work in progress
but more of a modern take on it.
The future feature film of "Monsters Beware" will include more classical monsters
as many have asked, like Vampires and Mummies. The short was only a small
snippet of an even bigger picture.
Thanks for the questions and keep them coming.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, the hat. I know, I know.
:zombie_smiley::grin:I tried the car shake thing and the effect really doesn't work out that well. And I attribute that to, well, the movies. Most car shots have the camera mounted to the car. So the "bumps" are seen not with the car, but with the road/background out the windows.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching! Glad you liked it.

The damned hat. Well, now you know why they have script supervisors. :cheesy:
There's actually a TON of continuity errors, but I didn't just say that, did I? Hey, Ed Wood would be proud.
Just to add a little to Charli's post...
I always MEAN to shoot stills and I ALWAYS forget. I'm making a mental note to just have somebody come out for the specific purpose of set photography.
I love to shoot black and white. And the project definitely fit the mold. This film was originally conceived as a more modern film and in color. But once the werewolf entered the picture in a script revision, the film took quite a turn, and for the better I think.
I hope to make this into a feature length joint and really go crazy with the whole thing and expand on the genre in some interesting and over-the-top ways. I have some ideas, so we'll see where they take me and the future of this project.
Anyway, again, thank you all for taking the time to watch Monsters Beware! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did making it. :beer:

I once heard a friend crack a line about 25 years ago and never forgot it. It was a stupid one liner, said in the moment, but it was stupidiously funny...
"I used to be a werewolf, but I'm not nowooooooooh."
The latter oooooh part vocalized with a howling voice. A stupid thing for him to say in the moment. But here I am, 25 years later, still shaking my head at it.
Good luck John and Charlie in the finals. One of my top picks. :thumbup:
