EBOLA VILLAGE - short film based on the game⁠⁠

I have long had a dream to shoot a short film, it is not cheap at all. 10 minutes of the tape is $20.000, of which 1 minute is the opening screensaver, and 1 minute is the final credits, from here it follows that not even 10, but 8 minutes of the tape will be very expensive ...



Therefore, it was decided to shoot the film on our own, without a budget, at home on the phone. Some of my mistakes have already been taken into account, conclusions have been drawn, so if there is a desire to shoot further, then the skill will grow, the picture will improve.


It is not necessary to evaluate the picture as a masterpiece of the industry, this is an amateur short film from a beginner. The film may appeal to fans: thrillers, horror films.


As you might have guessed, we will talk about the EBOLA game series, who have long been familiar with my work, are informed that a 4-numbered part of the series of this game is planned, which will be called "EBOLA VILLAGE", it was decided to abandon the number 4.

The make-up in the film is also made on its own, the ingredients are: beets, activated charcoal, gelatin.

The film was shot on an iPhone 8, in 4k quality, 24 frames, in MOV format.
It took 11 minutes of film production: script writing and planning for a day, 9 hours of filming, selection of props for scenery 2 hours, 31 hours of editing.

When editing the video, I also encountered a problem, due to the large number of videos (220 pieces) and the huge weight, more than 70 Gig, the video editing program did not want to build (collect) the film. It took more than 6 hours to find the error, since each build of the movie took 20 minutes, we managed to solve the problem by increasing the paging file on the PC.

Another mistake that I made during filming was filming without a clapperboard - a numerator, the number of videos is large, and when the clips are still mixed up, it's hell, in which you need to poke around for a couple of hours for sure)) to put everything in order.

Another problem, we filmed and watched everything on the iPhone screen, the video quality looks deceptive there, so it is necessary to display the recording result on the laptop screen when shooting and evaluate the quality instantly so as not to step on our rake.


The film is absolutely free, so the main support you can provide is to leave a comment under the video (of the film), like it, and watch it. This is very important for the promotion of the film.


And the more views of the film, the more motivation to shoot episode 2, taking into account old mistakes, and improve the picture.
