Year Completed: 2007

Synopsis: Set in the old west, a lone gunman approaches a lawman nailing a wanted poster to a tree. You shouldn’t look for someone if you aren’t ready to find them.

About: Being huge fans of western movies, we thought it would be fun to make an Hysteria Productions identity tag in this style. So inbetween jobs, we packed up the camera and set out to film it. We found a dry field in the Cranbourne area that looked right. We parked the car on the side of the road and three of us climbed the fence and started filming guerrilla style. It only took us a couple of hours to get the footage we needed. We got in and out before anyone started asking questions.

The footage then sat on the shelf for quite a wile before we could find the time to put it together. Being a project made mainly for fun, it was kind of a low priority. Eventually though, it got edited together and we enlisted some new techniques with the video capabilities of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended, to achieve the colour grade. This allowed us much greater control than would normally have been possible.
