Blog Post #35 - Practical Effects [Rig 3] Stomach Slashed Test/Demo 1 [FAILED]

For my first attempt at Rig 3, I used a foam board, a filled bag with water(in place for blood), and I used 2 10 pound bags to hold it down.

Here(above) is the set up.

Here is the video of the test, as you can see, it did not work at all. The water/blood did not spray at all. This test was a major disappointment, but it is one to learn from, next time I will learn from my mistakes and fix the rig. I believe one reason it did not work is because there was no tension with the water, therefore it had nowhere to spray out.

Blog Post #12 - Auditioning for "Party Guest 2"

 My film will take place at a party, where a guest is possessed. That being said I will need multiple people to attend the party, and multiple people to get killed. This audition is for the second party guest, and for one of the 3 kills(what I am aiming for) of the opening scene. Candidate 1: Mason Mattix Candidate 2: Matthew Stramiello For the party guests I am looking for how well the candidates can act out fear, and expression. After analyzing both auditions, I have chosen to cast Candidate 2: Matthew Stramiello as "Party Guest 2". He is much more expressive then Candidate 1, and truly show cases the horror he is witnessing through his body posture.

Blog Post #44 - Filming Scene 3 [Patio Party Starts]

 This is the third scene in the film where the group(Romen Basu, Cole Bryant, Matthew Stramiello, and Robert Sokoll) goes into the patio, to start playing football, and grilling. However, right as the guys start playing football, Blair's(Romen) dogs want to come outside, and when John(Cole) lets them out, they run out of the gate of Blair's house, so Blair leave to go find them.  This scene is where the friends find themselves most at comfort before the horror begins. The music blasting and them being together in a group, give them a false sense of security and safety to the dangers that lurk around them. I continued to use open framing for these scenes, leaving the audience to feel suspenseful during them. I also used the contrast from the well-lit patio and the dark backyard, to show the dangers the group should really be focused on.
