Vi and Takako were first up on Camera A for some stop mo blur shots.  Head and shoulder shots taken with a 1/2 to 1/4 sec shutter speed with deliberate movement to create a blurred frame. 750 + frames.
So for those inside the frame there is a lot of repetitious movement of the head from side to side and so on but the results were fantastic and quite spooky. When the body and shoulders were static the effect worked the strongest. Between James and the guys they produced the footage exactly how it was imagined. Success!

Takako about to become a human dragon fly

Meanwhile On Camera B Jenifer was doing a walk to camera in a cosplay costume dubbed the leather suit The idea here being that when she reaches camera she stops, then closes her eyes. She has a 2nd pair of eyes painted on her eyelids. Spooky!! We didn't really nail this concept for a number of reasons but essentially the eyes were not effective. Must give more notice!

After that it was Hee, Vi and Cici to film their personal reviews of some films they had seen. This was an idea from Neil to have people ranting on about their favourite scenes from an Asian Genre Film. They just keep going on and on. In the promo the camera will slowly move in on them until the audio is just faded out and the Logo comes up.

Have I shown you the Logo? Well here it is
