[THESHAYNATION]

@AS6VIDEO Thank you very much.

[wildcat2087]

it reminds me of the video game F.E.A.R. alma is coming to kill u. lol gratz on wining.

[Caddick12345]

@wildcat2087 Scariest game ever made...

[THESHAYNATION]

@Caddick12345 I have to say the first Resident Evil game (When it came out) was the one that got me the most....

[Caddick12345]

@THESHAYNATION God I love Resident Evil too, the first one where you see the first zombie turn his head OMG... But not it's turning more into an action game which is what I did not want at all for Resident Evil :(

[THESHAYNATION]

@wildcat2087 Ya, I noticed it kinda had that sorta feel to it.... Even though that was not the goal. Thanks for the gratz!! YAY!!

[THESHAYNATION]

@JustinJamesUK Thank you Dude! It has been a great ride.... Now I have to figure out what is next!

[SnarkyEntertainment]

congrats on winning!!

[THESHAYNATION]

@SnarkyEntertainment Thank you and Very well done on First place! Good to be in this with ya!

[SnarkyEntertainment]

@THESHAYNATION yeah it definitely was a blast to do and its really awesome of people like Rich to do contests like this that feature the community.

[THESHAYNATION]

@SnarkyEntertainment Agreed... I had a conversation with Rich a while back about how youtube has lost some of that... So it is good to see so many people getting involved again...

[daivv]

Ah I remember this one. This video is intense! It has the editing I would expect in a fully fledged movie. Flawless. Great work :D

[THESHAYNATION]

@JustinJamesUK Was the first time working with masking... (No, wait, I did two frames of a laser in one of my videos) so I was well aware of the work you put into yours. Thank you for the compliment and good luck Dude!

[thumpernicus]

*Tee hee!* Tank you!

[THESHAYNATION]

@thumpernicus Obviously

[MoonwalkerPJ]

finally, a live bear caught on video and caught in a trap! hehehe...man, this was creative. i also liked the different angles you used on this video. you've got an instant classic here, friend! - Fuzzy Soul Tiger, Mr. PJ

[THESHAYNATION]

@MoonwalkerPJ Thank you muchly Mr. Fuzzy SOOOOOOOOUL Tiger (I really can not say your name without doing that) One of the tricks I use is to hold one of the Tripod legs to shoot... As in, the cam is on the Tripod and I am holding up the tripod by one of it's legs. It give you a bit of a steady cam effect. Also, when I am grabbing the trap with both hands, I was holding the camera with my teeth.. Ya do whatcha gotta do to get the shot. I plan on a "Making of" after the contest is done.

[messabout1]

Great job, could be a winner

[THESHAYNATION]

@messabout1 Thank you Sir... One can always hope. However, like I have said, I learned a LOT doing this that is going to help in future projects (once my leg heals... Just kidding, it only took a small bite)

[messabout1]

@THESHAYNATION that is one of the great things about youtube, it is a very good teacher.

[THESHAYNATION]

@messabout1 so very true

[drwhoboy123]

Very Good! Good Acting Too! Good Prop! Good EVERYTHING (:

Good luck!

[THESHAYNATION]

@drwhoboy123 Tank you Tank you... Lot of work for under 2 minutes of footage... But, well worth the effort even if it doesn't place.

[CIAPATY1995]

Gosh that girl scared me then, that's how some horror movies are based

[THESHAYNATION]

@CIAPATY1995 It was basically a last minute thing to use a little girl... I think it worked out for the better.

[eaglecrowowl]

Great tension near the end at 1:36, excellent reveal and sound. Very scary!

[THESHAYNATION]

@eaglecrowowl Tank you... Just tried to use the ol' horror movie formula as best I could.. I am glad it worked out for ya and gave you the feel that ... Well, that bring the Tension...

[batboy62]

Very nice! Good luck in the contest! :)

[THESHAYNATION]

@batboy62 Thank you sir.... Good luck to you as well.

[simplybria]

Very cool and nicely done. I love your eyes, and you know just how to creep people out. *shudder.

[THESHAYNATION]

@simplybria I am surprised you even watched this one... You not liking horror movies and all. Glad you liked it and happy I was able to fill you with love for my eyes and creep you out at the same time.... That is a lethal combo

[Pilfpixie]

Oooo, you got my heart beating fast! I was all, NO!!! NO SHAWNEY DIE!!!! NO!!!!

[THESHAYNATION]

@Pilfpixie Was just a mild case of death... No big deal.... However, I have wondered which body part got thrown at the next person..

[QUEENOFEVlL]

Fantastic concept, wonderful camera work, sound effects....BIG BIG scare at the end! Great work, my friend!

[THESHAYNATION]

@QUEENOFEVlL Tanks there Queen of Evil n' shtuff... Glad I could scare ya ... YAY!!

[GoryStories]

Very Cool video! Nice frights and gore!!!!!

[THESHAYNATION]

@GoryStories Tank you... Not as much gore as I wanted (Being a special effects make up artist that killed me) but it got the point across..

[chattux2]

Nice video! Great stereo sound work! I made an entry, check it out if you want :D

[THESHAYNATION]

@chattux2 Thanks dude... I will go and check it out.

[Kie77]

That was creepy as hell. I was expecting a big cat, but THAT was creepy! Great use of camera angles too. Nice work, and nice setting

[THESHAYNATION]

@Kie77 Thank you... I am so very glad that I was able to creep you out. I put a lot of thought into this project and how to go about misleading viewers. A lot of work, but so far, great payout!.

[audionautix]

Very slick. Great use of audio, music, and special effects. Excellent entry.

[THESHAYNATION]

@audionautix Thank you Thank you.. Is what an OCD dude with a camera and Vegas can do.... Once he gets past the opening and is able to talk himself into doing the rest of it. I tell ya, it was the longest 1:54 EVER!!

[markasomerville]

brilliant video. seeing the girl at the end like that reminded me of the game fear. made me jump a few times playing that to.. good luck in the compo

[THESHAYNATION]

@markasomerville Tee Hee.... It is just creepy when you throw a little girl at people, right? Thank you for the compliment... I am very very glad people are enjoying my work here.... Kinda makes me all giddy.

[richw4]

Bloomin well done, that was really good. Love the 'threat' created with the camera moving through the forest and then when the arm appeared! Nice stereo work on the growls. well done, thanks for entering and good luck in the comp. :)

[THESHAYNATION]

@richw4 Tank you Tank you Sir. That is funny because when I was editing the sound I thought "I wonder if anybody will notice if I put the growls in the left and right channel?"... By that point I was so tired of looking at this video that I almost didn't do it... I am glad somebody noticed. I am loving these comments because it is showing me that the effort is seen.... Some of those shots were done via holding the cam with my teeth so I had hands free. Remember folks, do whatcha gotta do.

[tinycoco1]

omg!! really good blood and gore!! really cool effects, great vid and good luck for the competition!! :)

[THESHAYNATION]

@tinycoco1 Thanks a bunches... I had a lot of fun with the gore and effects and what not... Working in the special effects make up arena for some time I really wanted to do MORE blood and yuk, but alas, it was a quick shoot... Maybe next time.

[rich09b]

nice video

[THESHAYNATION]

@rich09b Thank you muchly Rich..

[Moviesindahood]

Bravo. The best video entry I've seen so far.

[THESHAYNATION]

@Moviesindahood Thank you very much.... I totally had a good time doing it and learned a ton in the process... This being my first real crack at masking... So the process was a bit grueling.

[thumpernicus]

Tee hee! I just wanted to say "tee hee" as much as you are saying "tee hee" in your responses... gay. =P

Great job on the movie! you totally deserve to win the big prize! Way to bleed for your art! Tee hee!

[THESHAYNATION]

@thumpernicus Thank you again Captain Obvious!! And HEY, thanks for the help in bleeding.

And "Tee Hee" is just my thang Dude!

[WhistlersBrother]

That was cool... nice sound effects and great effect at the end!

[THESHAYNATION]

@WhistlersBrother Thanks dude... Hopefully it all pans out.

[thelowbudgetcompany]

Gosh, darling, those frickin' Evil Dead cast is following you everywhere!!! :O I told to get away from that farm the first day, but nooo, you waited long enough till those bastards traced your address and everything!!! :O

[THESHAYNATION]

@thelowbudgetcompany Compared to your uncle.... This is NOTHING!!!! Tee Hee..

[thelowbudgetcompany]

@THESHAYNATION Tell me about it dude! :O Wait, have I already told you about our family vete and my asshole uncles??? o.O

[NatePinkyVideos]

thanks for freaking me out dude.....

[THESHAYNATION]

@NatePinkyVideos Hey, you're a partner now..... You need to be able to deal with such madness.... But I am happy I could bring some fear into your world... Tee Hee.

[NatePinkyVideos]

@THESHAYNATION yes fear...and sleepless nights...thanks Shay!

[IanDigs]

Awesome video mate, trapped in the real sense of the word.

Having the little girl at the end was the perfect finishing touch for me. I hope I don't have nightmares! Lol.

Good luck with the competition.

Ian :~))

[THESHAYNATION]

@IanDigs Thanks dude! Like I said, I figured the evil little girl would be creepier than a freaky redneck dude (What I set out in the first place to use)..

If you have nightmares.... Make sure I get FULL credit! Tee Hee!

[ScreenTestRecorder]

very nice man

nice usage if the music/sound effect

[THESHAYNATION]

@ScreenTestRecorder Thank you for noticing... I have a Comm tech degree (Sound) and really REALLY had to push to keep myself from being too OCD over the parts that I do not like and just push through it and let it be what it was... I had a LOT of fun being creative in the recording and sound editing process. Nothing like the old school ways of creating sound......er.... Only to make them digital and screw around with them in a Digital sound editor.... But it seemed to work.

[misterbaatard]

Wow that was creepy. You brought a lot of fear elements that people can identify with, like being alone, being in pain, and fear of the unknown. Also, supernatural man-eating little girls are always good for a scare. Great work!

[THESHAYNATION]

@misterbaatard Thanks Dude! What a great compliment to wake up to.. I tried to get the "Formula" in there as much as possible. Originally it was going to be a Freaky Redneck dude at the end.... However, at the last minute I changed it to a little girl just because I figured it would not be suck an oddity seeing a funky Redneck dude out in the woods.

[AS6VIDEO]

That trap looked like it really hurt ... great camera work great ending .. good luck in the comp

[THESHAYNATION]

@AS6VIDEO Thank you thank you... It's funny, at one point I was holding the camera with my teeth to get a shot (as most of the footage was shot while I was by myself) and to be honest, the trap was made out of aluminum but was "Locked" onto my leg via some wires.... It was not very comfy and took a bit of a bite out of me when I was kicking the arm away... Ah but the price we pay for entertainment purposes... Tee Hee.

[ScrewtapeStudios]

Great vid. Is a Meat trap another word for hooker? lol. Suggestions: The little girl should have had blood on her dress. She should have given the victim a little smile before moving in for the kill.

[THESHAYNATION]

@ScrewtapeStudios Thanks.... And yes, there are a million different things I COULD have done or not have done, but, you end up with what you end up with.

[chickyfinn]

Whoa, that was good...hope you lived so you can make more of those!

[THESHAYNATION]

@chickyfinn Thank you Thank you... It sure took long enough... Bah!
