The process making this short horror movie was a great experience for me. We have 2 weeks to plan, 1 hour to shoot, and forever to editing. I am so glad Christina Lee and I made such a wonderful team. Without corporation we can’t make this happen.
When we were grouped together, we were very confused what 2 Asian girls could make in one hour terrible lighting hunter night. Christina’s long black hair and black nails flashed me with the idea of horror movie. Asian young women ghost-Pretty, Dangerous. The most important quality in Asian women ghost is they are haunting real people to kill their soul without bloody mess. We are so click in this idea. We made a plot list and drew story board, these little pro-production work help a lot in the shooting day.
In the production day Christina called her friend Jewel Hise to help. She saved our shot on that day, because Christina and I all acted and shoot in the production night. We were so messy on the shooting day. We ideally thinking our shooting list will direct out action perfectly, actually little details we didn’t plan ahead almost destroy our shooting. For example, we didn’t think about how much footage we need shoot for editing, we ran out of saving space in the card in the middle of the shoot. It also changed our shooting plan because we run out of time. However, we have a lot of fun shooting and acting.
Since us both have super busy schedule, and Final cut express was new for both of us. Get together edit movie and learn the new software were so hard for us. After crushed in first 2 drafts, finally Christina holds all the pieces together. I was so exciting to see our film shows on the big scream. It’s means a lot to us. Audiences’ reactions to our story are the best judgment for our hard work.
