This was filmed last fall, originally it was planned to be a simple trailer but after spending 3 days making the pyramid head helmet, I decided to write a short film. Also this was before I bought all my new equipment (my new PC i bought in sept crashed half way through filming, lucky my second director kept backup files. But now I have a mac with final cut, and even a ntg-2 rode mic since I was really disappointed with the quality of sound in this project.)

I directed, wrote, produced, acted the main role, edited, storyboarded, mixed the music, well pretty much everything lol But also lyle helped me direct and make some of the costumes.

We filmed at 3 schools, two that were already closed down, and the one highschool will be closing down in the next 2 years I think, kind of creepy. At that point I was using Sony Vegas Pro 9 to do editing, I used that program for like two years, also I was using a tiny HD sony cam. All the special effects were live action, even the smokey stuff when pyramid head breaks through the wall ( huge bag of flour :p) Also the jail cell set was made in my basement, not the best idea since that gave the cameraman limited space to shoot in. Overall it was a fun project, and I will be doing some more video game related films later on, already got 1 written, just have to get people together and film it.

Very nicely done. Silent hill is probably my second favorite video game series. I think the pyramid head moved a little fast. I remember he always walked slow but you could never run fast enough to get away from him efficiently. The audio wasn't to bad but could have been better but that's ok, you learn from your mistakes. Each short you make will be a stepping stone to something greater. Awesome job!
 
As a huge Silent Hill fan, I enjoyed it. Your Pyramid Head looked pretty good, the section at the start where he was just chasing them around flowed really well. Some good editing, in my opinion. It's a bt dark there at the start, but it still works well for the mood.

Some of the dialogue is too quiet. I struggled to make out some of the vioce overs.

All in all, it was really enjoyable. What's next?
