Where are my filmmaking brothers and sisters? You guys here? Good. You'll dig this for sure. Hell, even if you're just looking to make your move into directing horror flicks, check out this new video from LIGHTS OUT director David F. Sandberg on the making of, you guessed it, LIGHTS OUT.
You may or may not this, and more than likely do not give a single sh*t, but I have directed a horror flick or two in my day (just one actually), and I am BIG on planning in pre-production. From storyboards to floor plans, to animatics, to walking the set at all hours of the day/night, I get the majority of my work done BEFORE the camera is ready to roll on the day.
The following video is all about the planning Sandberg went through on his way to the camera. And it is fascinating. If you are a filmmaker/nerd like me.
You can check out the full video below and remember that David F. Sandberg's next horror flick, THE CONJURING spin-off sequel ANNABELLE: CREATION hits theaters this August.
Enjoy!
