24 hour Horror Film Challenge

A couple weeks ago some friends and I entered the 24 Hour Horror Challenge in Toronto. The idea is that they give you a concept at 10 in the morning and you have to write, shoot and edit the whole thing by 10 the following morning.

The crew was amazing, nobody slept, and it was a really exciting way to test our chops as film makers. We got the film in on time but the edit was pretty rough and there was no score. The following week I tightened up the edit a bit and did final sound, it's looking pretty good now and the whole crew should be proud of what we pulled off.

It was the first time I tried my hand at Horror and it was a blast. Storytelling is storytelling and I'd love to do more horror/suspense stuff at some point. As for what's next, I'm dying to do some narrative shorts where we can take a bit more time.

We're making DVD's for the whole crew (7 of us), here's the DVD cover I did last night.

Happy Halloween!

This weeks Blue Sky challenge, your favorite classic movie monster. If I'd been thinking in time, I'd have drawn Nosferatu in that goofy wool coat thing he wears. Sorry, you just get Dracula out past curfew.

Inside the Piano

Just something that popped into my head.

Happy Birthday Lexie

Some colour boards for the same pitch as below.

Music Video Pitch

Here's some boards for a pitch I'm doing for Rob Szabo's "Family and Friends" video. It's about a guy who hitchhikes across the country to go to his sisters shotgun wedding. She's 8 months pregnant and she's marrying a jackass biker looking guy.

Mr. Incredible

Here's my Mr. Incredible from the blue sky challenge blog. This weeks assignment, your favorite Pixar character. It was a struggle between Mr Incredible and Bruce the Shark but I stand by my choice.
