Shot in the Dark

 My very first short. Shot with a  Panasonic HPX-170 and edited in Avid. 


As a writer, the idea of filming  was daunting. I learned a lot. Editing was definitely my favorite  part; it's like writing but with pictures.


My goal was to ensure clean audio, rather than choppy or uneven sound levels.  I achieved that by layering ambient sounds like helicopters,  sirens, traffic, and crickets over looped room tone.
