Watching the clips has brought back memories I'd forgotten.
Now I remember more than I care to admit.
Worse than my Skippy avatar.

Left hand mirrors used to be an optional extra.
Was a "standard" spare wheel ever an optional extra ?

I am currently working on 2 short films. One of them is for a company called Ghost Walk Productions, LLC, and I am the Director of Photography. I shot some scouting footage at the location we are going to be shooting at. It is a horror film titled "The Farm." I used some of this footage and some promotional images to make a teaser for the film. We are holding casting auditions for the film this weekend.

Here is the teaser I made. Please let me know what you think. I will be making another that reveals a couple story elements. This one is just to get people's attention.

Steve I watched both You Tube clips. Not sure if you made both of them come to think of it...I didn't check that. Sorry if it was someone else's preview!

I liked the first one - introduction...explained a little bit more about the movie...The second one...I don't know..too much film of the path.

You see a shot of the path and then a shot of the Farm house and then towards the end, you see the path and then trees? It was a bit confusing....Where did the Farm house go? Was the ghost ( I assume it was some paranormal entity. I only got that from the first intro video otherwise I wouldn't have known) heading towards it...why is it now nowhere near it?

Sorry, just giving you some input as requested I should also mention I watched them both without sound.

Thanks for the feedback but you really need to watch it with sound. You are missing a lot without it.

I did the one that I provided the link to, the ".....teaser 2". The "Introduction" video was put together by the Producer using just promo images.

The reason for the "entity" (you got that right) drifting into the trees was basically to give the impression that "something" roams the grounds at the farm. If you did not get that then it is not being communicated well enough. But like I said, you've really got to see it with sound. You can't really judge an XB without hearing the exhaust note!
