I wanted to create a movie intro for an early 2000’s cryptid movie. In this initial storyboard I planned to cut together found footage with shots of a conspiracy board with the credits on them.
My friends and I visited Keener Park to film the found footage segment. My friends Cara and Meghan starred in it and did amazing jobs as I directed them while also terrorizing them in a furry monster number. I ended up cutting up the footage a lot in the final intro but this is the whole story uninterrupted as a mini found footage documentary.
The Ledford monster costume used was actually a costume replica I had made previously of the Jaguaro from the classic Scooby-Doo episode “Jeepers, It’s the Jaguaro!”

This project was a ton of fun from start to beginning. Video editing is something I wanted to do more of and I love storytelling, cool visuals, cryptids, and early 2000‘s vibes so I was able to combine a lot of my favorite things into this project. I learned a lot about video editing and pacing but also planning shoots, props and assets.
