A few weeks ago Matt woke up after having a pretty twisted nightmare. He wrote down as much as he could remember and
the result is The Seeing. After seeing his work on CACHE I immediatly called Justin (snodart) and asked if he would DP the project.

We are lucky enough to have Dwayne Hancock on board doing sound and music. Dwayne is an accomplished sound engineer, having
worked at Disney as well as with the Emmy winning sound designer Scott Weber of Lost.

We finished shooting last Sunday and locked the picture yesterday. Below are a few production stills.

Awesome ... welcome dude.

Hey this looks like a good companion piece to msconce's flik -- diners and vintage cars, you should check his thread out.

you got some nice gear there and some great lighting setups, looking forward to it.
 
WOW! GREAT title! GREAT poster! GREAT poster photo! GREAT tagline! Super-creepy eye of girl in photo in poster! Cool-looking girl! GREAT BTS stills! Ultra-cool dolly track-jib, set-up! WOW! Looking forward to this one!
 
I'm sure Rich and Matt will chime in as well, but I wanted to say that these guys were awesome to work with.

Tim and I were going to put something together for HororFest, but he is in Peru this month and was doing doctor stuff the rest of the time... and I have been slaving over the Snod35 DVD. It was killing me to see all the great posts about the entries, so when Rich asked me to join his project, I couldn't pass it up. Wow, what a good choice that was.

It was amazing to work with people who have the same drive to get things done. Rich deserves major props for making this happen in the 11th hour and doing a superb job of rolling with the punches to keep everything moving. Everybody did a stand up job. I could go on and on...
 
Great time...

Great time...

Had a fantastic time shooting this with all involved. Night shoots took us to dawn and no one flinched or griped.

Still... after several sleepless nights, I think we intend to look at our other scripts and change every INT./EXT. NIGHT ... to... INT./EXT. DAY :)

A great time and a great experience.
 
I was wondering which movie Justin was DP'ing on. I'm looking forward to seeing it, guys. btw, GREAT Poster! :beer: :beer: :beer:
 
Sweet!
The poster reminds me of A Clockwork Orange. Looks like I'm going to be pretty busy watching all these films!
Good Luck!
 
sweet BTS stuff. Talking about the bar being raised... Yup.

:)

Glad to see you back in action Justin as the DP.

ha ha. Yea, Rich and the boys almost beat me down when they heard I was doing a little FX for Thou Shalt Not. Only kidding. :huh:

... and I agree. Rich rocked on the poster.

M Dixon (story by, co-producer, and co-writer) was the man on set. Talk about never flinching or gripping. I think there must have been 3 or 4 Matt's there doing everything from setting up the dolly track to working with Rich to keep the flow of the story in check.

I know Rich is probably pounding away and finishing everything up... I can't wait to see the finished product... and with Dwayne's sound/score.
 
Quick update:

Rich, Matt, and Dwayne are busy looking/listening over the final sound mix before uploading. Dwayne's extensive experience will be a huge plus I'm sure.
 
You guys really had a compressed schedule. I can imagine the frantic pace everyone is working at. But you can do some pretty amazing things when you're motivated...:thumbsup:
 
Agreed. These fests are great learning experiences (big thanks to Jarred).

That poster is awesome. BTS pics look great too. What kind of crane is that?

Thanks Tim. Rich put the poster together. I'm pretty sure he had a couple of others in the works as well... but I think editing and crunch time took over.

The crane/jib is a DIY job of mine. There are some more pics at my website:

I ended up building some new dolly track for The Seeing, but it didn't work as well as I had planned, it looks pretty though. :) I'm going back to using toprail (for chain link fencing). I just need to build actual track with it (with cross sections and such). I'm planning on putting height-adjustment screws along the bottom to rid the set of 2X4's and shims when leveling the track. All I need now is some time.:huh:
