Film Riot Halloween Special

[friedgeek]

Oh man. Fun take on the ghost hunter thing. I wondered how you were going to do this. The tell them nothing and just read this aloud set of instructions would freak ANYONE out. Well played sir.

I was watching this on my iPod touch, headphones on, in my office at work, at lunch, bright as day and still got some chills.

When Bruno got to the instructions "... don't turn around" after just doing it... oh that expression/body language was priceless.

Update:
Wow. Went back and read all the flack you guys have gotten for this episode, geez. The only thing I'm disappointed in is how much venom these comments have. *INSERT CAT HISSING SOUND* Having seen the teaser/promo for the special I knew I wasn't going to be seeing a normal FR episode and this was going to be off normal format. It was still fun and I enjoyed it. So people, take a step back and remember your getting all their great work for FREE and before you go flame anyone stop and ask yourself if you could call up Ryan, Tim, and Joshy (*snicker*) and meet them at the pub to talk about it... what would you say to their face?

You sir, are awesome.

From a purely business standpoint, one really attractive aspect of Horror films is that they can be very inexpensive and easy to make, especially these Blair Witch-y type films which seem to be making a resurgence; these movies can be filmed just about anywhere with any kind of light and with an inexpensive cast (friends) and materials (as we've seen on previous Film Riots).

Don't count me in the "giving flack" contingent, I just said it's not what I expected, and that I enjoyed it anyway.

This might be a noob question, but is there a faux- "nightvision" setting for After Effects and if you were to film in actual nightvision style, how hard (easier) is it to green screen in effects ?

Thanks.

We used real night vision. But in after effects you should have a preset called night vision.
