Hi Guys!

After hours of hard-work I finally made a horror short and wanted to share with you guys :-)

Hope whoever watches it likes what they see!

Girl at the end was very creepy, that'll be an image to remember. One criticism, try it with less of a soundtrack, was good in parts but IMO, tension can be built up equally as well without music (obviously it can be used very effectivaly, but just seemed to be a bit over-empowering ) to build up a very creepy atmosphere.

Was there a special reason for the headphone suggestion? I was expecting a soundmix more similar to Virtual Haircut, with a headsup like that. It was still a good stereo mix, mind you.

Lots of spooky stuff going on. For that slo-mo walking effect, was that all just in post? Or did you play with fps while shooting? Looked good, but not quite fluid.

Spoiler: The bit right before he gets creamed by the truck... that's really the only jarring inconsistencey in the look of it all. With a locked down tripod, and a clean plate, you should be able to pull off that effect no prob. The illusion is broken immediately, by the wobbly background & rock-steady actor.

Everything else is solid & consistent. Lighting, colour, shot selection, editing.

So finish up the rest of the episodes. Can't leave me hanging like that, now.

@Zensteve -> Thanks for the comments! and yeah the slow motion was done in post and yeah toward the end in one of the sequences it went bad coz I realized that when editing in FCP I left a small gap in my timeline.. thats why it isn't fluid! and the car hitting effect was done by a tut on video-copilot, I agree it should have blended a little better but I was more involved in the plot that on effects to be honest :-)

Again thanks for noticing the flaws and next time wil try to minimize them as much as I can :-)
