#NightMind Candy Bowl

[enteriris]

A group of friends and I participated in NightMind's Candy Bowl: Halloween 10, and we were featured! Here's our first ever shortfilm!

[anniacal]

We played a directing, filming, and editing role in this short film. It was a very enlightening experience exposing us to our creative limits and the pleasure of creating with close friends.

However, one thing sticks out more than anything after its completion. Sometimes we think about the impact various pieces of media have on us. Xenoblade as a series changed our life into a much more thoughtful and introspective journey. There were many story moments, especially in Xenoblade 2, that were jaw-droppingly beautiful in the initial experience. Sometimes we'd lament that the hundreds or thousands that contributed to that moment would never feel that impact we felt. They put every piece together, they know exactly how it would play out. They likely worked tirelessly to ensure it was exactly as it was envisioned.

Now, we realize the impact of their creation was never hidden from them at all.

As mentioned, we directed and filmed most scenes and edited the final product together. We saw the bits and pieces come together. It was finally rendered and played out exactly as it was planned on the editing end.

And the impact actually hit as it never had before.

What's your plans for Halloween, Dad?

I don't really have any, I guess.

I fucking love Halloween, but it kind of sucks because I don't really have friends around here to do anything with. So maybe just horror movies. I got the RE4Remake so that might make for a good Halloween thing.

I think there's a small horror street thing with a corn maze and haunted houses I might go to, too.

OOH, ALSO the Nightmind Candy Bowl! That's fun. It's basically a live stream of a bunch of horror shorts created by people all set to a certain theme. I caught it last year and it was pretty cool. (I think the theme for last year was "Under the Stairs" and they were all really good, this years is "Evocation" and I can't wait to see what people come up with)

That's assuming I don't work, anyway.
