I was inspired by Pat Kelley’s painting called “Woman with Red Wine”. I made a cinematic for this with a short message in mind, which was not to wait for other people who clearly aren’t putting you first. I think the message is clear and I had a lot of fun creating this piece as it is almost Halloween. This is my way of celebrating that little bit of spooky season while staying safe. I found the perfect music to accompany this just as I was about to use another sound. I felt it was off though, and one more search late at night proved to be the perfect fitting sound for this film. We did this piece at night, starting at 10pm shooting until late at night, so we were quite tired afterward. We had to do this as I didn’t want any natural lighting to influence our shoot and the final look- I needed full control with the cheap gear I had with me. As a Covid project, renting gear was not a safe option, so with our budget-friendly options, I created the best lighting situation with the gear we had.
