"It'll scare the fertilizer out of you"!
Well, I hope it's not too late to start promoting my Horrorfest entry. I didn't have time earlier to promote because I was spending all my time producing "Hellebore".
At this point, the film is almost done. We're just doing some fine tuning and audio mastering. I'll try to post some screen shots and production stills. I've found it very difficult to cut the film down to 6 minutes, so you'll see the 6 minute version.
I plan to create a "Director's Cut" after the competition and after getting feedback. This was a great experience and thank you Jarred, DVXUser Forum and members.

Here's a storyboard panel and the actual shot from the movie:
The following screen shot has not been color corrected. We called this the "Dead Sandy" shot.
Two extremely talented actors - Richard Boosey (left) and Brian Duyst (Right).
The following picture is in between shots. Hot coco is being served. We are using the Rowe Cine-Dolly rails and Ignatius Fischer created a really cool set of tracks. The camera is a DVX100B with the Indie-Snap matte box. Arri lights all around.
The picture below is one of my favorite shots from the movie. I think he says '"Oh...@$!#"
The following picture is Brian Dillon, Assistant Director dressing a 'hand' with blood and chunks. Brian's really into this kind of stuff. When he went to L.A. to get the body parts, his email to me read, "Hey, I got some good body parts cheap!" I cracked up.

The next picture is of us setting up some dolly track for the 'guy getting dragged through the woods'. We put down about 30 feet of track on one side of the trees and 'dragged' the guy on the other side of the trees. We had to synchronize the speed of the dolly and the 'victim' and actually did that pretty well.
The following picture was taken while I was working with the "Hellebore" creature. Inside the costume is Jason Netka, he is
6' 5" tall and dresses up as a Storm Trooper on weekends for the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. He was really great to work with and even though he was in the costume, he took his role very seriously.
