What I'm looking for are some quick, 30 second "interviews" for
a fake documentary I'm working on.
In it, I ask you to film yourself talking about a certain paranormal
event that happened. If you have someone to interview you, even better.
I am working on a film (fan film) that is a cross between ghostbusters
and Blair Witch type genre.
It's just an idea I've had in my head a while and need to do it or it
will bug me for years. (Gotta love that OCD part of my brain.)
The film is about people disappearing and a member of the Spokane Ghostbusters
has maybe found them or what happened.
Here's where you come in:
The event you would describe is something along the lines of
people suddenly disappearing in a flash of light.
Examples would be: "We were walking through the park and this
couple was in front of us. Suddenly, BAM, this light appeared
and they were gone.".
or
"I said goodbye to her and turned away. I saw this flash of
light and when I turned around, she was gone. That was 6
months ago and I haven't seen her since.".
I'm a big believer in ad-libbing or making it up as you go,
sort of "The Office" style. No script, just an idea you convey.
Ideas would be:* Telling about the last time you saw them.
* Were they a boyfriend? Girlfriend? Parents? or just random people?
* Props help. Maybe you made a "missing" poster for them and have been looking
for them. Talk about the last thing they were wearing. Really believe they are gone.
* If you have someone to interview you, maybe go to the spot you saw the light at.
* Maybe mention you were interviewed by the FBI or other organization. Yes, you may mention you noticed the Ghostbusters on the scene.
* Mention the light (definitely)
* You CAN use a webcam,
* Act as if you are appealing to a paranormal group who may believe in what you saw.
Things I need for the video:* How long have they been gone. It can be years or days.
* Keep it simple. An interview for a news show or like you were making a video for
you tube to help you find the missing people.
* Keep it short. About 30 seconds but no more than a minute, please.
* Be able to send the video through our gmail account.
* Please, no swearing. I'd like to keep this PG at best.
* If I didn't use your video, it's only because of certain things I'm looking for.
Angles, clear audio, the pacing. There's lots I consider and yes, I'm kind of
a jerk that way but my real job is producing radio commercials and shows,
so its become second nature. Understand its
NOTHING PERSONAL, it's just
me wanting a certain thing I don't know until I see it.
* Keep it as "real" looking as you can. No fake beards or costumes, please.
* Please no wearing GB uniforms. Civilians only, please.
The first 5 will be considered but I will be taking a few more after that as
replacements if some don't work out.
I need the video files emailed to me before January 31st.
Thanks and good luck.
Chris
