A short Tenants update

It all starts with a simple idea. Next thing you know you're smack in the middle of rural nowhere, filming a zerobudget throwback to eighties horror. Yeah, that's kind of what happened when I proposed a short film called 'The Tenants' to Silvain and Robert (the director and DOP of Fragma, respectively). Robert said he wanted to 'do something together again' (our first collaboration being The First Day in 2003). And of course, I was more than happy to oblige.I wanted to keep it simple... Just two people in a house, chased by... well, by something or someone (I'm trying to avoid spoilers here). It was actually quite amazing how quickly this production came together (and for NO money). Cast, crew, location, equipment (we shot on HD, using the Sony 950 with 4:2:2 output - and no, I don't know what that means, but it sounds pretty cool regardless); everything was done in a matter of weeks.
We shot the film in the last week of september; five days of fun and hard work. Silvain has already locked the offline-edit of the film and is now knee-deep in further post production. As I'm also composer on this production, I'm pretty busy creating a musical soundscape that fits the atmosphere we're trying to convey. Think: Penderecki, Ligeti, Bartok... you'll get it. More on that later.
