NIGHTFALL
Posted on September 22, 2010 with 0 comments
NIGHTFALL, Tempest Entertainment's debut release, takes a unique approach in detailing an attack on the Earth from outer space. Stylistically modeled after Alfred Hitchcock's "Rope", this new film really demanded a lot from its actors.
Producer Greg Vadimsky explains that "The film was shot in several very long sequences - without cuts." Some of the sequences run for more than five minutes before the action was stopped - requiring the actors to move through several sets while the camera, sound, and lighting worked their magic right alongside of them.
"The trick here was to get a complete take without anyone making an error. While the film was shot fairly quickly, the rehearsals were INTENSE!!"
Writer/director Michael Clinkenbeard's decision not to score the film with music (which is "normal" for most films) results in an unsettling and very realistic picture. A group of friends being continually filmed by another friend as their day goes from party to panic.
