"Phantom of the Woods"

Scarecrow · 06:46 PM

I'm currently in post production on my first feature, Phantom of the Woods (former working title OAK). We spent nearly every weekend from late August to mid January filming. Hoping to have a rough cut in a few weeks and then a final product later this spring. Just released the new trailer:

Phantom of the OAKra

edit: haha, delightfully grim as always!

Scarecrow · 02-19-2013, 10:45 PM

Thanks.

btw there's a little easter egg in one of the shots around 44 seconds or so.

Trooper · 02-20-2013, 11:40 AM

Hahahaha, the gnome? But yeah, that was really nicely done.

Scarecrow · 02-20-2013, 12:20 PM

It isn't much more than a cameo, although there are other elements from Gnomes such as the setting and some similar characters that you guys will probably recognize. Phantom is kind of a total reworking of some of the ideas I had a while back for possible Gnomes sequels.

Damn this is awesome, great work there!

Scarecrow · 05-23-2013, 02:22 PM

Updated my original post with new stills and a video of the opening scene from the movie. This will be finished by the end of next month.

Awesome. Looking forward to this.

Scarecrow · 05-27-2013, 06:15 PM

We're having our local premiere in about a month. Every night is going to be a late night for a few weeks as I finish this thing up. haha

Having our local showing this Sunday. Pretty happy with how the movie has turned out. Will hopefully have more info on when it'll be available for people to see here in the next few months.

"phantom of the woods" is what I call taking a shit while camping

- Pozin, over n out.

Scarecrow · 06-28-2013, 07:40 PM

Sounds like a good prequel premise

Eukos · 06-29-2013, 01:24 AM

I want to watch this so bad!

Scarecrow · 08-04-2013, 07:13 PM

Kind of unrelated, but I'm the producer on another feature my company is working on. We have a Kickstarter up and are trying to raise some funds. Phantom would not have been possible if it wasn't for its own Kickstarter so if any of you are feeling generous we'd all very much appreciate it. If anyone here drops at least $50 or more I may be inclined to give said persons a sneak peak of Phantom.

We're having a second local showing in October. Doing a series of teasers to promote it. Here are the first two:

Scarecrow · 10-05-2013, 10:02 PM

Teaser 3 and 4

Scarecrow · 10-18-2013, 01:30 PM

The final teasers for the showing on Saturday.

I'm waiting to hear back from some festivals so we'll see how that goes. Things are also already working behind the scenes as far as distribution goes so hopefully you guys can see the whole move in the not too distant future.

Eukos · 10-18-2013, 06:43 PM

Much love out to everyone who worked on this!

Scarecrow · 01-30-2014, 03:41 PM

Hey, we got into a film festival!

Bown · 01-30-2014, 04:01 PM

oh wow, congratulations!

Scarecrow · 01-31-2014, 11:27 PM

Thanks! Pretty excited. Don't know if any more 3dmmers live in the Chicago area, but its on the 14, 15, and 16th of March.

Scarecrow · 04:41 PM

New, longer, and probably final trailer. The plan is to get the movie released by the summer, although no hard dates yet. The film festival is in March. Myself and most of my crew are going. We'll see if we get nominated or win anything.
