LIGHTHOUSE TEASER
LIGHTHOUSE TEASER
Shot on 35mm this short teaser cost about just €800! - It was shot over one night at Three Mills studios in London. ALL of the effects you see are done ‘in camera’ from titles scratched on glass to miniature rock formations.
The short teaser marked the start of Simon’s working relationship with actor Chris Adamson. Chris went on to play Leo Rook the killer in Lighthouse and also the part of Hodge in Mutant Chronicles. Actor Neil Johnson played a prisoner struggling to breath underwater. (Actually he was in a skip full of freezing cold water!) Neil was rewarded for this brave effort with a small part in the finished movie.
The stunning lighting design was created by DP Jim Solan.
