We learn some insightful filmmaking tips for jumpscares and cloud storage.
Every filmmaker, whether they know it or not, is an expert in suspense and horror—that is, at least, if you’ve ever had the sudden panic that comes from checking to see if your footage is backed up and properly stored, or if just by chance something’s gone wrong and your entire day’s work is missing or corrupt.
For filmmaker Damien LeVeck, horror filmmaking isn’t nearly as scary since he’s started working with cloud storage and remote editing with Blackmagic and DaVinci Resolve. He’s also a seasoned editor who learned how to deconstruct horror genre tropes like jumpscares to write and direct some standout horror features including The Cleansing Hour and his latest film A Creature Was Stirring.
We chatted with LeVeck to talk about how he was able to tailor his cloud workflow for the least amount of suspense, as well as to see if he could share some tips for other aspiring horror filmmakers and editors looking to develop their genre craft.
