Alright I have to admit it. This movie was completely rushed, suffered from lack of story, and a hasty change (from the zombie movie that was originally planned to this one). Anyways enough of defending this short movie. Basically this short movie focuses on Camera techniques. We used our homemade Steady Cams, our poor man steady cam and our multi jointed one. We also used a dolly. The down side to using a dolly (particularly this one) is the amount of noise the wheels make. We could have made some kind of noise reduction apparatus to counter this problem on the set, but time wasn't on our side so we had to remove the sound post-production. Another issue that we had was the lack of a good camera. As you can see the quality of the image isn't very good also the resolution of the raw footage was 320 x 240. This isn't an improvement on our first short movie (Depravity), but is a good practice for upcoming projects. We also tried out a couple of special effects, such as head shots and other various, less visible, effects. The head shot is produced by taking a small pipe and welding a larger pipe at the end. We then bent the small pipe so that it looked like an "L". We loaded the larger pipe with a bit of toilet paper and then filled it up to the rim with Ketchup. Now keep in mind we didn't have the financial resources to produce / buy exploding blood packets that professionals use. This movie was done on a 20$ budget! I hope you enjoy this short movie as much as we enjoyed making it.
