Behind the Scenes Tranche 1

It all began with one video and quickly, the story has branched out into eight unique threads. Developing this story or each story thread has been a conceptual nightmare.

Styled as a 1922 Silent Horror, each 1-3 minute segment challenges the audience to tell a contained story with a beginning, a middle, and two possible endings. Filmed in 4k footage, it is formatted to a 2865x2160 frame that matches the aspect ratio of the classic 1922 film Nosferatu. The color grade is tinted black and white footage with the 3 possible hues indicated by the time of day: daytime (Yellow/Red), twilight -morning or evening (Pink), and nighttime (Green).

Penciled in for Tranche 2 and 3 is the possibility of bringing in audio and changing the color scheme. It all depends on your choices.
