The Mothman Experiment - Episode 1 "Springheel Jack"

Nice shorts Mr. Sheridan, made especially scary 'cause I have an irrational fear of garden ornaments. ;) Funny thing is I've been thinking of doing similar types of vids to this rather than just music video stuff as I also like old atmospheric horror movies and sci-fi. Getting inspiration, learning video and synth software... I may also use archive footage and my own dark ambient tracks.

Cheers Martin. I was always so envious of rich kids growing up who had access to Super 8 cameras as I would made stuff like this. So this is about as much as reliving childhood and is a lot of fun too. So go for it.

@ThomasSheridanArts Yes I know the feeling but it's great that nowadays you can have a the technology on your desktop or a camera that wasn’t possible for love nor money 30 years ago. I really want to unlock some creativity that I know has been suppressed for various reasons, as I’m sure it will be the key I need for expressing myself and sure there’s some demons need exorcising also. Things may get messy for a while. ;)

Ha it is already in production! It's going to get real freaky too.

Pretty good Thomas, how long did you work on it?

Remember to inverse the pentagram next time though :).

Thank you my dear. I had been collecting raw footage for a idea like this for a while. I wanted to make a homage to the kind of sci-fi/horror I enjoy (Hollywood 50's, British Hammer Horror, X-files, Blair Witch, Warren Comics etc) for a while now. Was just looking for the right idea. Then I read John Keel's The Mothman Prophecy and decided to mix that up with Project Paperclip, Jack Parsons/Crowley motifs. Series development ideas too.

You are right about the pentagram. Well spotted
