when i make shorts i usually do a few storyboards to work out certain angles or what not. I drew this as a reference for the entire short.

This was the first image i took to make a teaser poster. Just enough information to (hopefully) give away tension and drama.....

Love this rig!! I'm not too handy and because of that i wasn't going to build one from scratch, so i bought this from a scrap yard. I've attatched velcro tape to it so i can stick and remove my camcorder and sound recorder

Tim looks like he's actually drawing back from the blood that was added in later.

These are the holes in my rig that Tim made during the short. I never really concerned myself with the fact we were using a real knife and that it would be swung down at me repeatedly. Not only that, since the rig was pressed up against my chest so i could get my arms through infront of the camera, i was essentially helpless. Each stab went further through until the last when it struck the harder plastic on MY side :\

I knew i had some blood splat effects that i could use, a filmmaker friend had given me them on a disc years ago. Unfortunatly it wasn't until this year that i had a decent enough computer and edit suite to be able to use them....so i went a little mad!
