Making of There Comes A Knocking

[@DroiMedia]

Obviously Ryan is talented AF but the fact that he can spare like 15 of the 17 minutes to talk about how great other people are speaks volumes more than his work. What a great piece, and I'm sure I speak for the whole internet when I say I'm looking forward to sitting in the theatre and seeing his name before the feature length version of this. Congrats on another great project :*

"Make sure it stays skinny over the top" Chase: "Is that a fat joke?" Love this crew.

[@NoahWilcoxDP]

I heard that and immediately knew it was Richard.. he's the best 😂

[@OfentseMwaseFilms]

A good steadicam shot adds so much to the scene. I loved how you treated all the movements. Sometimes not cutting away to something adds so much tension. Well done to the whole team.

This short movie is definitely your best work so far. Ballistic was great but we’re used to multi million dollar budgets for that kind of movies and it’s hard to compete with low budget. This one was basically two rooms but with a hollywood level of attention. Written masterfully. The terror and chills it created was because you took the time to let us connect and feel for her, you didn’t rely on stupid jump scares. F amazing, great job. I’m pumped!!! Keep it up, I love you!!! (In a 👊🏻 way!)

[@mr.steakhouse]

Her acting was absolutely amazing.. she deserves an award, along with this whole film in general and everyone who worked on it.

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Just finished watching the short film, perfect timing

[@Hiimbald12]

I don’t know if this message is going to be read, but thanks for this type of videos. I’m studyin film cinematography in Spain and they are really inspiring and educational!

[@filmriot]

So happy to hear that! And thanks for watching.

[@christianleppen7113]

I’ve been watching you guys for twelve years ryan! Almost since the beginning! Learning and taking in so much knowledge and even learning confidence in my work from you! Now after four years of trying to get a short film I wrote, we are finally in pre production and start filming in February! It’s thanks to you and the whole film riot crew that I’ve been able to put this together and make my dream come true of making a movie! And a special shout out to Justin Robinson for reaching back out to me during an extremely difficult time in my life when I was ready to quit film making altogether! I love you all at film riot! Thank you!

[@BuddyBearCreator]

Ya see guys, this is what I LOVE about THIS director Ryan, he humbly sings the praises of his crew, the shoulders on which he cleverly stands on the realize and achieve HIS vision.

[@BBAACKE]

The blocking & steadycam work on the reveal scene is just perfectly crafted all around.

[@realmattjc]

The film looks fantastic. Well done to all involved. Got my chills going.

[@pengwyn_1]

I watched the short film and the storytelling was just wonderful . You told the audience about her background without actually showing much . Great job . Really an inspiration .

[@CarlosBenjamin]

It was pretty well self-explanatory with the exception of her screaming, “Leave me alone!” It seemed overwrought because that’s the reaction of someone who had already been terrorized.

[@filmriot]

She has been, by grief.

[@evanbutler9813]

@@filmriot your ending fucking sucked

[@KEP1983]

@@evanbutler9813 there was no ending. It's a concept for a longer feature film. He's not going to give away everything in a concept pitch film.

[@AkashC]

Loved the short film😍❤️ I love how Ryan was humble and gave everyone their needed credits. Amazing person

[@kasperstenbom]

Amazing that so many people can get together just to make this little short. Big up to the entire team, the film was so good. I wouldn't be surprised if it got picked up for a feature. This would go home with all the filmgoers out there.

[@NickGranville]

Ryan, you’re a great dude. Always singing everyone else’s praises cause you recognise it’s a team effort. These behind the scenes things are some of my favs on the channel. Thanks

[@zombieruckspin8936]

I LOVE how hard Justin plays a dork in Film Riot stuff but is cool as a cucumber in his own production BTS.

[@PimpMonk]

Dude... this truly scared the crap outta me and I’m not easily spooked. Awesome job all around!! Looked and sounded great.

[@joseduran9232]

I turned off my computer and immediately realised I forgot to like this video, so I walked to where my phone was charging and popped it up just to give it a like. That's how much I liked this video and the short film. Great work!

[@booleanvisuals8564]

After watching the movie, I now understood why we do what we do! Filmmaking is soo fulfilling! The end product brings joy. GREAT MOVIE, MR CONNOLLY!🙌

[@hwcentertainment]

No one would have said it better than you. It's a like a woman in labour, every pain goes automatically at the arrival of the baby. Nothing more fulfilling than seeing the finished product loved.

[@ryanjosephdp]

This is by far the absolute best film you guys have EVER put together. I have been watching Film Riot close to when you guys just started. Its so inspiring to see you all grow and push through the changes and low points to now at this absolute high! Film Riot as a channel has never been so fun to watch and this film is fantastic. I really hope you get a studio to bite this. Id be so proud just by my association of seeing your progression all these years lol! Thank you.

[@AngryMunci5]

I love how dedicated and professional you guys are. I loved “there comes a knocking.” It was scary and had me on the edge of my seat!

[@UnexpectedCreativeStudios]

Being able to not only watch but also get inside the head of Ryan while the production is taking place is incredible. Mind blowing in fact. It never ceases to amaze me that just a few years ago Film Riot were making camera rigs from any old shit and now this. Truly living the dream. I hope that this gets picked up as a feature. Ryan and his team deserve it.

[@dxthakid4727]

Wow I could not believe there was 10 - 20 people during one shot. It felt very isolating.

[@johnnybaudelaire4954]

just wanted to say big big thanks for this. Taking the time to share this kind of information is gold.

[@CJLand]

Ryan. Great work by you and the crew. As always, we (your followers) so appreciate your willingness to bring us along for the adventure, as well as the Master Class like insight into the film making process. The concept that we are part of your crew in watching your movie-making adventures (after so many years) is a testament to your work ethic and belief in making great movie products.

[@techsavvydaddy5616]

Ryan, that Short was amazing, can't wait to see the Feature. Kudos to you and the Team! I wish you guys all the success in the world!

[@francinemorris2957]

I appreciate the spoiler alerts. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m so glad you give props to your crew.

[@AXELAGONY]

With your talent Ryan, you surely deserve a feature. This looked amazing. Great work. We look up to you guys for all our work.

[@Solarfactor]

Thank you for talking to us and sharing your thoughts behind the concept. It was a beautifully produced short.

[@j.jmarlon1417]

Justin!!!!!! He’s the man! Loved his film “ guest of honor”

[@filmriot]

He’s really incredible.

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Great BTS for a great short horror film. The short, of course, is being added to my "Great Short Films" playlist for KZbin.

[@grimmsshenanigansproductions]

In the beginning stages of planning my first horror shoot. Its been so educational and mind blowing to what actually goes in to making one. Your channel is definitely one of my biggest influences in deciding to make a channel dedicated to horror shorts. Shooting for this in June. Just wanted to say thank you.

[@BigioniStudios]

I would totally watch a longer making of and check out any extra content. I could put it on my Christmas list.

[@sujaybhosale3350]

Crazy stuff! "Crew is really starting to gel" 😂 😂 😂

[@AsherSmithFilms]

I think the fact that it is drama and then transitions into horror is why it's so scary because you're not expecting the horror as much.

[@AhmedElMekkiFraj]

What I'm impressed with is the hard working team who focus on the success of the film.. You're guys really an idol for other filmmakers..

[@splatterhousefilms4203]

I love the behind the scenes you guys do and what it takes to make such a memorable short film!

Thank you for all of your hard work on the film along with your crew as well as taking the time to bring us BTS. Truly inspiring. True dedication to your KZbin fan base. Much love.... Thank you Thank you all who worked on this film.

[@MunirRahool]

Wonderfully done, the short, the making of short. Next stop - full-length movie! And damn that creature looks GOOD. It was very dark (on my screen) but it would look very creepy by the door if we could see some of the textures... She was natural... loved her. Good luck to the team for next big project.

[@eunoia4769]

I didn’t know it took this much work!!! U guys are amazing and I love your crew and the respect you have for them.

Little feedback note, when watching the film I realised the house was very unnaturally bright for night time. The lighting was low key and very effective however I felt it was unnaturally bright for moonlight/night time

[@StAugMarketing]

Never would have imagined this many crew to make this short film, very eye opening for someone like myself who is planning a short.

[@seangentry2943]

There are different ways of doing things. Having that many people is what allowed them to work so fast because they only had two days to shoot on location in someone else’s property. You can do a lot with fewer people but it will take longer
