Description Based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story 'The Masque of the Red Death', this short film was created for my University assessment at the end of 2006 for the University of Technology, Sydney.

(Update, 2021): The view the film remastered in 4K, visit:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2Nq-v…

Since its original submission for my course assessment the film has evolved significantly into something which I hope can be considered no longer just a student film, but something that is festival ready.

Pre production took 5 months, shooting was over 3 days, and post production took 18 months.

Most of the cast and crew donated their time to the project and have done an amazing job.

I am happy to answer any question in regards to the production, but in the meantime, please enjoy the film!

Camera Used: Panasonic P2 HVX-200 @ 720P
Editing Suite: Final Cut Pro (colour grading in Premiere Pro CS3)
Animated credits sequences: Adobe After Effects
Audio Mixing: Cubase SX3

Cubase In reply to wolfman1000000 [2009-07-02 02:05:23 +0000 UTC]

Probably not... more stories, yes, but no more Poe stories. They are very hard to do as they are all period based. But thanks for asking! =o)
