DVC #6 - Hugh DiMauro (Supernatural unexplained Netherworld)
 

Okay guys. Radar lock... FIRE! On behalf of Korin, Ed and I, we hope this flick gives you food for thought.

Ed is the real deal, by the way and Korin, well, her work speaks volumes in itself.

Hahaha, I had a good laugh here. Funny work Hugh!

It's not what I expected, some cool and interesting footage in there as well.

It's actually a pseudo documentary showcasing the talents of psychic medium Ed Nardo. What you've seen is the tip of the iceberg conecrning the EVPs and ghost video he has on his hard drive. Blew me away.

I can't get to bluejeanvideo at all right now. Is the server down?

Bill

Hi Bill,

Try www.bluejeanvideo.com/hd.htm. I just went there and everything was okay, but Dylan was having trouble yesterday, too. The other link posted isn't *quite* the right one, but that shouldn't matter--don't know what's up! ...or in this case....down. Sorry.

Wow, Hugh, I'm glad I didn't watch this at night! :) That music is pretty spooky. Your friend did an excellent job.

I don't know what to believe about these things--probably because I haven't seen anything for myself. But I'm sure not going to sit here and say it isn't true. I just dunno...

Your titling enhanced the video a lot. That "Do you believe in ghosts" line sneaking up on me like that... :) Seriously, you did a wonderful job with it. It's all I can do to fill in the blanks on a simple credit roll.

Let me chew on this a while and get back to ya! Nice job!!!

p.s. to the rest of ya's: Yeah, it may have been hosted on my site, but I didn't peek!!! :)

ummmm, scary short.

some cool looking photos. Don't know anything about this kind of thing but nicely done. The pacing was good for tension and drama. there was an audio dropout during the talking ghosts, not sure if that was intentional or something on my video. I liked the explinations of what we were seeing, just enough to let you know what you were looking for in each shot.

Very nicely done.

Now it's time to go check under my bed for orbs.

Thank You All...
 

The audio didn't drop. They were just two separate EVPs. Believe me when I say that Korin is feature film-quality scoring talent. Why she wastes her time with a schlub like me is beyond my comprehension. And Ed has an honest to goodness ability. Some of his other EVPs made me grow hair.

And he's the straight shootin'-est, no bull, irreverent, politically incorrect bloke you ever met. Gosh do I love him!

Lorinda, the titles and assembly are about all I contributed to this piece. So really, I'm not needed!

Hugh,
Nice. I have been interested in EVP for a few years now. You naturally are familiar with the Michael Keaton film then. We have several local groups here who are into this as well. I want to follow them around and hit a few spots eventually. "I ain't afraid of no ghosts."

So on the piece, the music is very much like the opening of 2001. Always loved that, a lot. I wish I knew some folks doing that sort of music. I would write some videos based on that vibe if I could find it. Does she do a lot of choral stuff? I may need to talk to this person one day.

Good stuff. Not just a good contest piece but interesting as well. At least to me.

And by the way, I also couldn't hit Lorindas site at all earlier today. Maybe bandwidth issues?

Sean

I'll have to talk with Rich or Matt about this. I'm the weak link in the BJV chain. :) All I know is that, even though my stats show hardly a blip on the bandwidth usage for Hugh's movie, the red light's a blinkin' on the server load. So sorry, Hugh...I'll try to remedy this ASAP.

(Or maybe it's some of those ghosts...)

Sean, Your Thoughts Are Interesting...
 

Korin is such a great person that she would chomp at the bit to write music for any serious minded person on here who would like her work. She truly uses her gifts for all the right purposes and is eager to score movies, big and small. She is now a member of DV Info.

Ed is also a ghost hunter (and a DV Info member). He has officially made me part of his "team" and we have four haunted locations scheduled, the first being this Saturday. I've studied the paranormal since high school (back in the days of double knit polyester hound's tooth leisure suits) and I feel blessed having befriended Ed. Besides his abilities, he is a blast to hang around with. He has me in hysterics when he goes off on a tirade about life's injustices and people's thoughtlessness. I am actually making a documentary about him and incorporating these investigations into the movie. Keep your eyes posted for updates. (DV Info Ghost Hunters maybe? HAHAHAHAHA!)

Our old county courthouse is as haunted as all GET out and we'll be investigating that on Labor Day weekend (the sheriff's officers hated closing down the place at night. They always heard a crying woman, footsteps, water turning on and off, elevators going up and down with no one pushing the buttons, lights going on and off). I feel like Don Knotts in "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken."

Sean, why not dive in full ahead and do something with your video and your upcoming investigations?

Lorinda:

Believe it or not, Ed tells me that kind of stuff frequently happens when using ghost photos. Ha! He likes to quote why native Americans don't like their picture taken: Because they feel their souls will be trapped in the photo.

If this persists we may have to remove the post! (No kidding!)

mockumentary? documentary? it was a little hard for me to tell, until i read the thread and realized that hugh is a bona fide ghost buster....

and is that a tiny spectral rick bravo lurking about the edges of that one frame with the hanged man's legs? spooky!

Ok, I watched this at 2:30 in the morning in the pitch black dark and the music literally gave me chills. I love the supernatural. It's a great subject. I would of had Ghostbusters tear it up though but thats just me lol.

Miss Meryem:

I'm not quite yet a *bona fide* ghost buster as I haven't even been on my first investigation, which is Saturday. The place where we're supposed to be allegedly has alot of activity as of late. Now, I've been in a few sticky situations over the years involving humans because that's my job. That I can handle. But let me tell ya, ghosts are a whole new territory and I cannot guess my reaction to seeing one if I do. I might just pull a "Curly" and dive through the window and run down the street in fast motion!

"Whoooop whooop whooop whoop! Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

Bravo is at the Keg. Trust me. I know for a fact. I've seen the spectral photos of him and his Miami-Vice cronies.

John, my movie then had its desired effect. Mmmmmwaaaahhhhhh ha ha ha!

I watched the movie, Hugh. Interesing stuff indeed! I don't want to take anything away from Korin, but I would also offer to help out with a tense vibe. I sit here a lot and create that stuff. And with Halloween just around the corner, I am in a 'spirited' music mood.

Sean, perhaps I can email you a few samples to work from.

-gb-

Yeah, I watched it at 5:00 am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. So thanks to Hugh, I've been dragging all day at work!

Hugh, you really ought to do a feature length HAUNTING movie. I don't get into that stuff myself, but it SELLS, SELLS, SELLS. I tried doing a scary short, but it just came off cheezy.

I think you have to believe in the paranormal to make a movie about it. With aftereffects and good sound software, I can't believe anything I see on film.

Dick

Ectoplasm?
Orbs?
Vortex? Who ya gonna call?

Seriously, very nice and professional presentation. It made me want to see a lot more. This would be well suited to a 30 or 60 minutes presentation, It would be cool to see a lot more, with plenty of explanation. Intriguing.

I would have liked to have seen more video.

There is something about watching these things that peaks the interest of believers and non-believers a like. This definatly could have been longer and add interviews. Gosh, having a ghostbuster for friend must be really interesting. Nice job Hugh and company.

Dennis, Bruce, Dick, Greg:
 

Thank you all for your comments. Greg made a fabulous point: Folks like us out of the Hollywood loop can only benefit from the teamwork of this site. Dreams are made through the kindness of eager folks like Greg and Korin who make significant contributions to others'projects. They can expect the same in return for their productions as well.

Well, I'm not convinced of anything supernatural based purely on the things presented here, but I do want to believe in stuff like this, and you did succeed in freaking me out with that music, so thumbs up! Kept waiting for some major "jump out of your chair" moment--thought maybe you were trying to trick us with the gentle soundtrack, only to spring something at the last minute--but I liked it anyway. Spooky, that's the word I'm looking for.

My only criticism would be that there was no real sense of closure, but I guess considering the subject matter, that's perfectly appropriate. Nice job!

Thank You, Robert. Keep your eyes peeled for an upcoming movie. Everybody's good advice is being taken to heart.
