Hi everyone,

This weekend we've been participating in a 48 hour filmproject, and produced a 5 min. (soft)horror movie called 'Where's Linda?'. At the start of the 48 hours we received the following 4 required elements: genre (horror), character (hardrock guy), prop (blackboard) and text ('Right now!').

Watch the film at http://www.orphicfilm.nl/html/linda-mediaqt.html (Quicktime 7 H264). English subtitles are included.

We filmed with a DVX100 (PAL) in 25P. Audio was captured with a AT897 microphone. The first day was used for writing the script, arranging people to act in the film and securing the location(s). The 2nd day we filmed, editing was started on location during shooting to gain some time. From 3:00 pm we finished shooting and started on finalizing the editing. Editing (and discussing it, including leaving out a complete scene) was finished around 8.15 pm, then soundmixing started and at 10:00 pm the film was delivered on dvd at the festival organization.

Looking forward to your opinions. (Yes, the editing could've been more tight in the opening scenes).
 
I liked it a lot! The one thing though that might have been cool, would be to use some of the time in the beginning (the exterior shot), to actually do a quick tour of the locations, with mood music/sound effects, to give us a kind of orientation about what's where. Otherwise it's not clear where the little girl/boy end up - is it a different building from the one in the opening shot, or is it the same building basement. Stuff like that.
 
probably should have thrown this under the dvx clips/footage section. this is a section for user films documenting their process AS they create their film. BTS, dailies, screen grabs, story boards, enthralling and passionate stories about the art of filmmaking.

anyways, congratulations!!
