    Good short, but I can't stand when movies do the obvious, like not taking the dresser out the house, Even if you put it in the garage until the investigation was complete

    Pretty good film. Wish I had friends like these two. They have his back. Good thriller. My son starter hearing growling in his room when we got a dresser from the thrift store..He was 11. It had a weird sticker on it. He removed the sticker at 12 and the growling stopped.

    • @peakcinematics
      @peakcinematics  6 днів тому

      Thanks! So to get those super smooth shots I had the FX3 + RS3 Pro gimbal mounted on a tripod which was on a dolly track system. You have to get a special plate to mount the gimbal without its battery to the tripod and then supply external power. Then in post I could add a bit of stabilization and you're left with a super smooth shot. Most of the short film was shot using the RS3 Pro gimbal either on the dolly or handheld. The shot of the car approaching the mansion I was actually in a wheelchair holding the gimbal.

    • @peakcinematics
      @peakcinematics  6 днів тому

      Also I've gotten very good at eliminating the 4th axis (footsteps) while hand holding the gimbal. Most of the mansion scenes were shot hand holding the gimbal. It just takes a lot of time to master the synched arm movements to cancel out your footsteps.

  • @SweetUniverse
    @SweetUniverse 3 місяці тому

    No. You introduce the subject (the dresser) and then use it. Remember- this genre is horror. At night while the main char. is sleeping, something comes out of the dresser, or a drawer opens & main char. investigates, leading to something horrible happening. Action needs to escalate. There needs to be descending action, ascending action & a twist. Life gets worse. Usually in horror it ends in death or serious injury.

      @@KaceyBakerFilms Thanks! Final timeline was over 1TB in size haha. We used the Rode NTG3B with a boom operator. It was directly plugged into the FX3 XLR handle for the whole thing which got tricky when we had the camera on a dolly/gimbal. Just didn't have the turnaround time available to record to my H4N Pro and then have to link the audio. Audio still was pretty good for the most part, I can't remember what bit depth it was set to, probably 24bit. Used FCPs voice isolation a decent amount, really helped reduce background noise.

      @@KaceyBakerFilms Thanks! The crew, lighting, sound, and camera movement all are more important than just what camera you use. Sure it's nice to have "pro" tools such as a Venice but the FX3 punches way above its weight! Now if only they'd add noise reduction settings so you could turn the heavy internal noise reduction off the internal codecs would be way better!

    Haunted house rule number one: don’t go in the basement. Haunted house rule number two: don’t split up.
    But what really boggles my mind is that in this mansion full of incredible antiques, the parents pick up a shitty old dresser that most people would’ve left at the curb to give to their son. Makes zero sense to me.

  • @Garthorium

    Certainly way more cinematic than most shorts on this platform, I do however find the lack of static shots a bit overwhelming. If I may offer any critique, it's to not overly rely on camera-pan during dialogues, it can take us away from being engrossed and positioning ourselves within the dialogue on screen, and its excessive use can come across as a bit 'amateurish' - for lack of a better word. I personally felt like the camera very seldom sat still if at all, it was always moving in some way or another, and while it's nice to see a bit more artistry in the cinematography it can be to your detriment to forego the power of a stationary shot.
    Otherwise, good short, and good on you for going beyond the basics!

    • @peakcinematics
      @peakcinematics  6 днів тому

      Thanks for the constructive criticism! I do agree for some of the dialogue the camera could be stiller. I should just put it on a tripod vs dolly for some of those scenes. Horror films like Sinister 2 tend to do locked down dialogue shots but still have a little camera movement. We had very limited time shooting this short film (all shot in about 7 days with usually 2-3 hour time slots) so planning cinematography that would flow together was tough. The scene in the pub we only had about an hour with the actors so it gets a bit stressful haha.

    Horror films are great in low light, like at 14:35
    I think the story needs some improvements. Like the boy should have left the house with horror when he first felt the ghost thing. People love the scenes that are related to real situations, and what naturally they do in that situation.
    Still great. 3.8/5
