BMCC 2K | Horror Short Film

[Bozzie]

Shot with a BMCC on a candy bar and fizzy drink budget. Fun way to spend a Saturday  - Best watched in the dark with earphones. 

Color grade based on my BozBMDFilm to Rec709 LUT. Suitable for ALL Blackmagic Cinema Cameras. LUT Download Page: https://bulentozdemirfilms.wordpress.com/downloads/bmcc-bmpcc-bozbmdfilm-to-rec709-lut/

Thank you, this is so well done. I love how you used practical, in camera effects for the scares. The zipper was brilliant.

My only criticism is that I wish you used a different doll instead of Elmo because I think you could have a real winner with this short... similar to what happened with the Lights Out short, but due to legalities, the Elmo doll may hamper that.

Either way, awesome work as usual.

Thanks, @mercer! Much appreciated! Practical is always the best 

The short you see is actually a very, very stripped down version of a story the director had intended to tell. And you're right about using Elmo. He was never intended to be used! There was a super cool doll the director was working on (he made the zipper effect). This thing was seriously bad ass. A real nasty little thing. Due to unforeseen circumstances the doll and some equipment he wanted wasn't completed/didn't arrive on time. I pushed for us to shoot anyways and sold it as a 'Bonus' day. Whatever happens, happens. We reworked/improvised as we went along and this was the final result. The way I like to look at the creative process is that something is always better than nothing. This was our 'something'  

Thanks again, man.

I get that. Either way it’s a great short that was so well done on so many levels. But your work usually is.
