    Good stuff! How did you shoot the night scenes?
  • James Cookson plus 3 months ago
    The night shots were shot in the day and graded to look like night.

    AWESOME!! If you don't mind me asking, what did you record the audio on?
  • James Cookson plus 2 months ago
    I used the Rode VideoMic recording onto an M-Audio Microtrack. Recored all the dialogue on the close up and dubbed it into the mid and wide shots. Glad you liked it.

    Cheers

    Wow, nicelyd one.

    Did you really use the 50mm only ? Some angle look quite wide !

    And was it all handheld ?
  • James Cookson plus 2 months ago
    Yeah just used the 50mm in the end, I've got a 20mm but we were shooting so quickly I didn't have time to change it!

    Its a mix of shots on the tripod and handheld.

    Cheers

    I'm not really one to scare very easily with films (real life is a totally different story) but this genuinely had me on the edge of my seat. Great cast and very well shot! :)
