Horror Movie Making Dreams, Wyrmwood

            Horror Movie Making Dreams, Wyrmwood



    If you are reading this blog then we can guess that you wish to become a horror film maker someday.  I believe that anyone can be a bad film maker. To be a good film maker requires hard work, learning some basic rules, hard work, a good screenplay, hard work and never giving up. Did I mention hard work? It is not something you do in your free time. You have to commit to giving as much as eighteen hours a day seven days a week to your project or you are not going to make it.




    Today’s post is about the mega zombie epic film Wyrmwood from Australia. This beast has been over a year in the making and in my opinion it is what a walking dead film should be. If you do not go big then you should stay home. This film looks like it has gone evil dead kind of big and bold.  Just remember that if you are willing to put in the work you can make any kind of movie that you wish and the size and scope will largely be up to you.
    Okay here is the trailer from Wyrmwood.

Horror Films, Behind the Scenes Filmmaking


If you cannot be on the set of a horror film during shooting I believe that the next best thing is to study behind the scenes footage. You learn a great deal about how the director handles the cast and crew. Some of the little problems that will pop up while you are shooting your film. Too many people believe that shooting a film is all sunshine and rainbows. It is hard work. From start to finish it is hard work and when it is finished shooting the really hard work of editing and marketing begins. The cool part about this post is that so many film makers took the time to do BTS reels so I had a great deal of them both micro budget and big budget to pick from.
First up are two videos from the guys at Bloody Cuts, They are great at delivering quality behind the scenes footage.

 
   

Here is footage from the big budget film the Conjuring.


   

 Good luck until next time. If you would like some hands on information from film makers who are out there doing quality work today you should pick up a copy of my film making manual On Low Budget Film Making available at itunes and in paperback at Amazon. The links are below.   At amazon click here.
