Can you do some behind the scenes stuff on this short? What did you use to film it? How much lighting did you do? Would be great if you could share anything. It was great.

Thanks for the kind words. We shot it on a Canon 7D with a PL adapter so we could use Zeiss Super Speeds. Aside from that, we used a Canon 5D with a basic Canon zoom for a few clips. Had just one large light to emulate the moon, then a couple of small fillers with some blue/green gels. Tweaked the color in post to nail down the proper look. A crazy movie to take on in one night, but we somehow made it work:)

I like this for many reasons. Bill as usual your great. The MAIN reason I like is its the setting which makes me feel I am watching an old classic horror film. The directing is great. The camera angles are great, The acting of everyone is great! I like how the things are cut leaving you go eerie. It could be the budget but DAMN it works! That is what I LIKE THE MOST! As an Actor THIS IS THE TYPE of stuff I would love to be in. AWESOME! GREAT WORK FOR EVERYONE and the moon too! LOL
