It was filmed with a panasonic HVX200 in 720 24p. Everything was filmed with a redrock micro 35 mm adapter. I used Nikon lenses but for the effects shots I did not use the redrock micro.
Thanks for everyone's positive feedback, its really good to hear! We should be posting new featurettes on you tube each week if you want to subscribe to our channel. Episode 3 should be coming out on the 31st.
As far as the budget goes and the hard work balance goes, there was definitely no shortage of hard work. We've worked on this for 2 years and the director did all of the effects, editing, and most of the hard work himself. Its been a lot of work for a group of people all 23 years old and younger. The budget went to a lot of different things. For instance, we bought all of the equipment (the hd camera, crane, etc) instead of renting it. That was a good 15k right there, and all of the equipment is reusable for future movies. We paid all the actors a good amount, we fed all the actors and crew every day (2 meals a day for 10 people for 2 months adds up), etc. So a lot of the money has no effect on the actual movie per say, since we never hired any one to do special effects or anything for us. The only real outsourcing we did for a part of the movie is the dvd cover artwork and the original score for the movie. Just thought I'd comment on that a little bit.
As far as the snow in the sound goes, that may be true. The trailer was made before all of the sound was even close to finished. A lot of work has been put into the sound and it sounds good now.
Thanks for checking us out!
