Dead Comfy by Domino Pictures (48 Hours 2011)

Dead Comfy is our 2011 V48 Hours entry.
The competition requires filmmakers all over New Zealand to write, shoot and edit a 1-7 minute short film in 48 hours. All films had to use specific elements which are changed each year. This years elements were a character called 'Bobby Young' who was an ex-bully, the line 'What have you got' and a piece of bent wire as a prop. There was also a tech requirement which was a freeze-frame ending.

** Won 'Best use of Character' in Wellignton **

This upload has had a fixed up soundtrack, fixed colour correction and a redone title attached to the end. The cut remains the same as the original.

Shot on a Canon EOS 5D MkII, lens: 24-70 2.8

Dead Comfy follows the story of two flatmates who have recently moved into a new house. They find a free couch on the side of the road and decide to take it home, unaware of its hostile intent.
