Hair Application Test - Danni
A phone shot of the upper torso hair application we tested a couple of months ago with Danni.
A Few Make-Up Touches
Elle O'Hara enjoying the few additions to her filming make-up during the fast paced shoot in May.
Shocked Jess - VFX breakdown
And now a break down for the reverse shot. Jess says "f**k" a lot in this video haha!
"Run!!!" VFX Process Demo
When time is short, we need to get creative with how we shoot things. In this instance, we didn't have the time to take the team all the way up to the moors, light and shoot a scene, so we did what any indie operation would do next - we blagged it on a green screen. Sorta.Step 1: Film the shotAgain, lack of time to get these in, so we used the green screen were possible and shot downwards to the floor. Normally, we'd have a much larger gr...
Unused Shots: Season 1 Live Promo
The simplicity of the Season 1 promo (https://youtu.be/LV461jEnnBI ) meant that we only needed a small selection of shots in order to put it together. Though, as with most things, there were shots either replaced with alternative takes or left on the cutting room floor altogether.These were also instances were Danni would "Silent Scream" in order not to ruin her voice - once the edit was locked, we then would conduct an ADR session to add...

"Psychos... Total f**king psychos!!!"Art by Shahab UddinWritten by S.L. CareyTales from Davidstown: Blood and Chains is a gripping one-shot set in the shadows of London, 2010. When Katie wakes shackled and disoriented in a derelict mechanic’s workshop, she’s forced to piece together the chain of events that led her there. As she recounts her story with dry wit and growing unease, dark memories resurface, ones that hint at a night far ...
Colour Grading
One of the tricky parts of film is the way that we can effectively colour grade a shot to not only match the mood and location, but also the time of day. Here we can demonstrate taking a particular lighting setup and working it into something that feels as if the scene takes place in the night-time hours, one step at a time.
Make-Up SFX Test - Practical Hair Application Test
This test marks our first experiment with the application of "hair growth" in the style of American Werewolf in London - that is, taking the most amount of the hair effect we could apply and then gradually reducing, reversing the order of the shots in an edit.This is purely in camera with no additional post work added, baring a quick colour grade for presentation.Turns out, this kind of make-up application takes HOURS, and so it's poi...
Test Scene - Jess and Emily - Episode 3
This test scene, based on Jess and Emily's interaction at the point that Emily tries to start opening up to Jess about her... problem...As with the previous scene, this is pre-ADR.But it's great to finally start seeing these characters on screen right?
Test Scene - Jess and Emily - Episode 5
Test scene between Emily and Jess (as heard originally in Episode 5) - the dialogue has been cut right back for the purpose of the test but you should be able to reckoning things fairly well!The sound is pre ADR, meaning that it's not a clear as it would be in a final version. This generally is the case for the things we shot for the tests in May.
What Jess Saw - Video Test
As part of the, as yet, secret project, we took both Elle (standing in for Danni) and Michaela and had them recreate the scene where Jess follows Emily into the moors...This wasn't the full scene as it played out in Episode 6, so much more a demo of VFX and compositing certain elements.
