Topic: The Vampire Bunny (Upcoming Short Film)

So I have this idea. It involves a lego vampire (red) bunny. For the storyline I am either going to:

1. A dad takes his son hunting, tells him the story of the vampire bunny, and later that night they spot the vampire bunny and start shooting at it.
2. A man is lurking in the forest type area with a gun (likely is hunting) and the vampire bunny jumps out behind a rock/bush, man and bunny fight (aka man starts shooting at bunny)
3. A mix sorta with a twist (your input)

So basically I want people to tell me which they like best out of the 3, personally I like number 2, I think number 1 will get a little messy with the plot, like they find the bunny right away (which would make it too short, and probably not that good)

This is a short film, so I don't expect it to be over like a minute or so. So anyways, I just wanted to see what you guys thought of my idea.

Also, if anyone is wondering:
I use Canon PowerShot A495 (cannot figure out how to turn autofocus off mini/tongue)
For organizing the frames: Monkeyjam or FramebyFrame
For editing: I am going to get a trial of Adobe Premier.

And I am making a bunny hop test, so then you will be able to see the scene I made, Link will be here in a bit. I won't need any voice actors for right now, I just want to know what you think of it.

Re: The Vampire Bunny (Upcoming Short Film)

Well, I am having trouble uploading pictures on here.....But I uploader a bunny hop test video to youtube and I put the link on here, it has the bunny and the scene

So, i am pretty much done filming, i did get my shadow in accidentally a couple times which i am trying to figure out if i can edit it out...
Also i was wondering where i can get gun shot sounds (so far i think im gonna use soundbible.com) and im trying to figure out how to add like that flare when they shoot...? I'm gonna try and make it good but i am definately not a good editor....but the shadows bug me, anyone know how i can edit them out?

Re: The Vampire Bunny (Upcoming Short Film)

That's ok.

EDIT: It looks like it's going to be a good film! I think you should go with #2.

Yeah, it might be...i have to edit it and figure out how to turn autofocus off on my camera. What i have filmed of it is pretty good but i noticed i got my shadow of my hand in a bunch (i use a digital camera, wish i had an HD webcam...).

Re: The Vampire Bunny (Upcoming Short Film)

I think I like number 1 because it has more of a story behind it.
Number 2 seemed more like a no nonstop fight scene to me, and
without developing the characters viewers won't care whether the guy gets
killed or the bunny. You also don't explain that the bunny is a vampire bunny.
It is your choice but I strongly suggest that you go with the boy and his father
It will make it scarier (if you are making it a horror) and I personally don't like minuet long
fight scenes with no story behind them. Keep it up.

Your bunny hop went by to quick, I couldn't really see the hoping because it only hopped twice
you should make it hop across the entire screen so that we have a better Idea how it looks.

Also as a side note you still have some camera bumps. it doesn't  matter here because its a test but be
very careful not to bump the camera when making the movie

I will like to see how this film turns out mini/eh

I have to agree with you, i filmed it as #1 and i have to say it was a lot easier to understand (aka im done, just editing and voices) so it will be uploaded by Friday i am guessing. It shouldnt take that long. Although, since it is fairly short i may do extensive editing on it.
Ok I see, yeah that is a good idea. I think I will do number 1. Yeah I know I have a digital camera, and I have a mac and a windows 7 computer.
