The production diary for 'Eyes in the Dark' is a long one! Both this entry and the number of years it took to start the film and get it finished! People can often think that to make a film, actors and crew turn up on set, shoot a few scenes and job done! That's only part of the picture as you'll see. 'Eyes in the Dark' was conceived in 2009 and finished four years later in 2013!! So let's go back to 2009. It had been about six months since I'd finished off my official second film 'The Garden of Terrible Delights’ - a story about Burlesque serial killers! I'd had an idea in mind for an HP Lovecraft Story set in what's known at the Cthulhu Mythos involving creatures called the Mi-Go. These happy chaps and best described as an alien fly with fungus for a head! Now this was very ambitious and would need some serious CG. I applied for funding with an idea called 'Casket of Shadows' which would be a short animation where a man looks into the casket and flies across the solar system to a cave on the planet Pluto known also as Yuggoth in the Cthulhu Mythos, there he would see the Mi-Go on the other end as the casket of shadows was a sort of alien laptop/video conference. I never got the funding so I had to go back to the drawing board as I'm just not good enough to do film quality CG!
