Entry Description
"Lost Corridors" is a trailer for the psychological thriller short film that I am working on. I made this as a challenge to myself. All of the locations and camera movements were created from scratch by me, using Blender. I used DaVinci Resolve to create the VHS and analog effects.

- 4/30 7:03 pm - Great use of the analog effects and VHS, as well as your Blender renderings and overall edits. it all comes together to be a minimalistic trailer, but it works, especially knowing that it took a lot of work to piece this together. Adding in some other elements will help it feel more like a thriller. Something to really signify that the person is lost, more panic in the voice, or that someone is after him, or something creepier laying on the ground. Great use of the programs you had to create this. There are a lot of little things in there that people probably don't/won't notice that took some time. Nice work.

Positives: There is a confidence and originality to this that is genuinely rare. The horror lands not through shock but through atmosphere and restraint — the editing rhythm, the voiceover, the storytelling instincts all working together to create something that feels powerful and wholly its own. This filmmaker has a point of view, and it’s a compelling one. The kind of work that reminds you why you love cinema. That kind of authorship at this stage is extraordinary. This is impressive work from an impressive filmmaker.
Improvements: Honestly this doesn’t need much — the stylistic restraint is a strength and the choice is clear and confident. The one thing that lingered was a wanting for just a single scare moment at the end, a final beat that lets all that built tension snap. Not because it needs it, but because the setup is so good it deserves a release. On the graphics side, there’s a little more creative territory to explore — pushing the on-screen visuals into something more dynamic would add one final layer to an already exceptional piece.

Positives: Love the VHS looking footage. You can easily find VHS cameras. They look even better. This is a lot of work! Good for you! This is way fun. Some of the camera work is terrific.
Improvements: Some preciussive elements would help the intensity of the trailer. It needs more punch. This is easy to fix. It also needs a color grade to give it more dimensionality.
