Out of Darkness 

Filmed during the early days of lockdown, the project had an extra edge as the entire crew isolated as a group avoiding contact with the wider world.  However as the filming took place in the wilds of north west Scotland this was relatively easy, although access to many of the separate locations was a bit of a nightmare, involving long walks and climbs to get to the spectacular scenery.

The physical SFX consisted mainly of fires, mist and blood, with soft and action Props taking up the rest of the requirements.  Giant whale bones wedged in the rocks were carved on our robot to fit a scan of the location rocks, or a soft rock to bludgeon someone in a fight sequence, moulded and cast from a real one collected on location during the recce and replicated in the workshop.

Dragging gas bottles up to the top of inaccessible hills, with all the associated equipment to make both artificial camp fires and to power layflat smoke rigs required stamina!
