I truly enjoyed this short film, I think it works very well at the length it is. Great use of shots, the combination of the floating light and the music (very ethereal) and the darkness and the creature (uncertainty and terror) is incredibly effective. The camera work and color grading is spot on.
The creature reminds me very much of those deep sea angler fish, was this part of the inspiration for the film?

[@MaxJordanVisuals]

Thanks for the nice comment!
Yes, we were going for that. :) Kinda like the way they did it in Finding Nemo.

[@specialagentA]

So great! I can watch it over and over again, such great stuff in such a short time.

[@MaxJordanVisuals]

We had several people holding lights on the actress and a small light on a thread where the source light was supposed to be. I then added a lens flare and smoke element on top.

Maxwell Swet Sweet!

[@Paffy]

This was amazingly inspirational, how dod you do the shor at 31 seconds? By that I mean did you add in the light after or was their an actual light source on set

[@InsaniamProductions]

Never listen to twinkle twinkle little star the same way again. Very good. Another entry that continues to make film riots decision a tough one. If you have the time, could you check out our entry and tell us what you think.

[@mextion]

Loved it!! One question, where did you get the deep bass sound that you used? I am looking for something similar, any help would be great! Congratulations on 2nd place!

[@enricolienig8088]

I came across this clip through the Monday Challenge.

[@ResisterOfEvil]

nice job

[@Turok4458]

Amazing! subbed

[@Turbo38]

Love!!! Would totally work with you guys in a project ;)

[@coryredding84]

That was beautiful and just enough time to be creeped out. I disagree with Mr. connolly on very few opinions when it comes to film But I don't think you needed to add anything more to the film at all. I knew exactly what I needed to know when I needed to know it and it creeped me out. Anything "leading" to the the monster or that "something is coming" would tarnish the reveal of the monster in my opinion. I fucking love this one.

[@CocoStarbucks]

Simply amazing! I nearly bit all my fingernails off Haha. Tutorial?

[@omatoic]

Very impressed with this. I don't think Ryan got the whole angler fish thing. But awesome :)

[@jaypwilsonjr]

I love this shit. nice work.

[@ShadowManV3]

Cool effect of the monster in the background. You guys should have made it longer though, you still have quite awhile till it was due.

[@motionsam]
