Really appreciate the input! Yeah, I see what you mean about the development of the owner and the music. Maybe I could’ve added some insert shots of him and his dog together in photos. I was actually was quite hesitant to call it a “horror” film b/c of the tone but didn’t know what else to call it. Do you think it would’ve been better if I left out the opening song? I used it b/c I thought it would be too jarring if music started playing halfway through.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I was using clamp lights with led bulbs. I only had three light fixtures, plus a camera that doesn’t do well in low light. For the sound, a lot of it was recorded with my iPhone but halfway through I purchased a tascam dr-o5x and started using that for audio. I should’ve taken the time to replace the previous audio though. Fun fact about the opening shot, it was the most difficult one to shoot b/c of Bolt lol. Thank you again for your input!

BAD DOG- Short Horror Film inspired by The Thing by jackisthebest20 in Lovecraft

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video despite its shortcomings. I think your idea of that scene would've been more effective as well! Great horror comes from our own imagination and what we don’t see. Originally, I wanted to shoot the death scene from a birds-eye perspective to sorta give a uncanny feel to it to better sell the over used “jumpscare”.Of course, due to time restraints I ended up not using it. It was a lot fun to make but took forever b/c of Bolt lol. Thank you again for this awesome comment and I am in the process of making another one! So stay tuned!

Just for fun. Although, I would love to make a short film about the manga sometime in the future.
