House With A Bay View (Teaser Trailer)

Here's a quick teaser trailer that I cut together today.

Photos from the first weekend

Here are a few more photos from the first weekend.

All the photos were taken by Nick Mckenna.

First Weekend

Well last weekend was great. We ended up shooting the first 5 minutes of the short up in the house. Nick and Peadar were the actors involved in this one. We shot a bit with Nick on the friday night after a couple games of Frogger in Naughtons chipper (if you ever pop in, try and beat the guy who's number 1 on the scoreboard... ME!)

We got up at about 9 the following morning for the swimming scene in the Pollock Holes in Kilkee. Nick was not looking forward to it, although I've a feeling he was glad he went in, and it wasn't as bad as we all feared.

That was until I jumped in, it actually was freezing!!

We shot a driving scene on the loop head drive and later we prepared for the climax of the first 5 mins with Nick and Peadar in the house AT NIGHT!! I don't want to get into the details of what went on, but it was quite the bloody affair. We had a spooky lighting operation thanks to Phil and Dara and this really accelerated what was happening on screen. Can't wait to shoot the rest of it this weekend with the boys and gal!

Welcome

Hello. Welcome to the production blog of House With A Bay View, a college final year short that’s currently in production. I’ll be posting up anything of relevance to do with the production of the short.

The film will be primarily shot over two weekends in October & November with the posibility of a re-shoot in December, incase unforseen elements occur. I hope to have the film edited by the begining of 2011.

House With A Bay View is set around an old house in the west coast of Co. Clare where an eccentric landlord invades the privacy of his tenants.

More info on the production as the days go slowly by :)
