Blog Post #37 - Practical Effects [Rig 3] Stomach Slashed Test/Demo #3

 Although my last test was successful, I still had to try it with the fake body in position. I decided to use an old T shirt, and fill it with paper balls to fill out the shirt, and in the middle of the shirt, I placed the rig.

here (above) is the paper balls

Here (above) is the rig with the filled shirt.

Here is the video of the test, as you can see it worked well, but the guts did not spill out as much as I would have hoped, so I decided to try it again. Here is the second attempt at the rig, as you can see the water(blood) spilt out very well, and the intestines also spilt out great. I am very happy with this rig, and it will now be moving onto the final cut of the film.

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.
