T IS FOR TWO TERRIFIC DAYS OF SHOOTING

‘Sup. Been a while. Hope you’re well! 

So, on the weekend just passed (17-18 September), I did something I’ve wanted to do for years: 

I made a horror movie.

Okay, a short horror movie (it’s four minutes long), but drenched with blood and thematically nasty nonetheless. It’ll be up on the ABCs OF DEATH website in about a week for all to see (AND VOTE FOR -- subliminal messages be damned), but until then, I’d just like to reflect quickly on the way we shot it. 

Shot over two days, on the trusty Canon 550D, with a crew of 5 and a cast of 4 main actors and 2 extras, lit mostly with natural light, helped by a Kino, a Dedo & a bounceboard -- not to mention some costume items, latex and two litres of fake blood. It cost us an obscenely low amount of money. And you know what? 

It just felt like the perfect way to make movies. 

Teaming with friends who are great at what they do, working with the wind at their backs and mischief in their hearts, shooting wonderful, experienced, assured actors, it was easily the most enjoyable, efficient and successful shoot I’ve been on yet. 

So, to everyone involved, thank you SO MUCH, from the bottom of my heart, of making it such a brilliant shoot. For those of you who weren’t involved, I can’t wait to show you what we did...

Especially to that woman’s head.

Yours,
Paul

Hello, Paul! I really love your passion towards film. Though you don't have the typical, well-budgeted, and extravagant kind of shoot, you are proving to us that you passion and your desire towards making film is what will push you to do great things! Shooting a big scene is very complicated especially if your resources are very limited. But it was a good resort that you have used Canon 550D as your main camera. When you are shooting with a limited timeframe, of course, you always try to make up with the quality you will produce! I believe that you will be coming up with something great!
