So I haven't worked on a short for a while, but finally decided to get back into it!

My new project is called Nosocomephobia. A Rabies-like plague brings a trauma center to it's breaking point, making it near impossible for intern Dr. Amanda Gallagher to escape alive.

We're shooting it as a single 7 minute continuous-shot (no cutting), with lots of zombies, gore, and really fun elements being thrown into it.

Nosocomephobia means the fear of hospitals. At it's core the film is about fear and how it's affects the human psyche. What would you do to survive? If you're drowning, are you going to remain calm, or pull down your rescuer? When faced with imminent death, fear clouds judgment, and survival is the only thought.

So the following are two shots from our promo shoot. We did it for multiple reasons. Aside from promotions, we wanted it to test the make-up, set design, costumes, color correction, and over-all look of the film.

The following two shots have two different approaches to the color correction.

We weren't over-all happy with the zombie make-up test. We wanted to keep the blood to a minimum, especially near the beginning of the film, before everything 'turns'. We wanted them to look more sickly. You can check out our post about the make-up here:

More to come!

Technical Specs:

Details are still being worked out, however we're hoping to be shooting on the Blackmagic. It meet's our needs to fit onto a steadycam and be light enough for the entire 7 minutes.

Also in talks about shooting this in cinemascope 2.66:1 (or something similar), since we're shooting on a wide lens but want a more 'claustrophobic' feeling.

I'll be updating this as we get more information.
 
Thanks!

For the lighting we really want to work with plastic sheeting everywhere, to help 'contain' the infection. We love the look of light through the plastic sheeting. Should make for an interesting shoot. As long as we get enough of a budget for all the sheeting form our campaign. ;)

Let me know what you guys think of our indiegogo video.
