As part of Sci-Fi London10: The London International Festival of Science Fiction & Fantastic Film, Evil Hypnotist Productions (helmed by SkyBabyRecords' Paul Terry as producer/composer and writer/director Paul Williams) took part in the 48-hour Challenge over the weekend, and have successfully written, shot, edited, scored & delivered to the jury a brand new short film entitled 'Red Light'.
With elements chosen blindly from a box (title of 'Red Light', a line of dialogue and a prop that had to be used), EHP brought together a willing extended team of old and new talents, and crafted (with approx 2 hours sleep over the 2-day challenge) and completed the new short.
Once the final edit was locked, Paul Terry worked on the score through Sunday night through till dawn, bringing on SBR regular bassist Niki Jones, and meeting with long-term mixer James Bellamy early Monday morning to complete the score and prep the sound to lock off the film for its 1pm delivery deadline. Team EHP made it with 15mins to spare...
The score is influenced from the classic 1950s era of sci-fi, very close to Paul's heart – especially the Quatermass tales from Nigel Kneale – but with an all-important contemporary edge too.
We'll announce how 'Red Light' does in the challenge in a few weeks time when the judges make their decision.
