This is my second installment of my Spooky Three Rivers challenge (to myself). In this one I am only using one video clip from MixKit’s free collection of stock video. The establishing shot is the old Three Rivers Hospital and the same one I used in the last video. Since most of the visual is from stock video I wanted to focus on the atmosphere around the clip.

Here is the media stack up from DaVinici Resolve

Since I have been collecting audio clips from so many sources over the last couple of years I don’t have a great way to credit all the sources for this scene. The vast majority of my sound effects have come from Singularity, CinePack and DaVinci Resolves free Foley Pack.

In my continuing effort to build my editing skill set. I have put together this 1.19 minute video, which includes some b footage I took last summer of the old Three Rivers Hospital, some stock clips from You Tube and several sound effects from Singularity. The idea is to create a series of Spooky clips using real places in Three Rivers, MI as the back drop for the month of October.

The ghosts and ghouls were pulled from some random green effects downloaded from You Tube. The building in the background is the old hospital from Three Rivers, Michigan shown without effect below). And the Silent Hill “ash” effect was actually a snow screen overlay that was added to the screen with some fog behind it to complete the “Silent Hill” effect. Although as I think about it now I am a little disappointed I didn’t add the emergency siren that was used in the movie.

Most of the sound effects are from Film Crux’s Singularity Pack. And all of the lens flairs are from BusyBoxx. There are a couple of other effects packed into their also but I don’t have the source handy for this post. I will take better notes on the next one I do and include the source for all assets. The image below is how the media stacked up in the DaVinci Resolve editor.

As I mentioned above my goal is to to do one of these a week for every week in October mostly because it gives me a structure around my goal of mastering the DaVinci Resolves NLE. If you live in or around the Three Rivers area and would like to collaborate on a project similar to this let me know in the comments or via email.

UPDATE: Due to COVID-19 this event has been canceled for 2020. See you in 2021!
