The Making of The Lonesome Thing

[@CZsWorld]

Making something good in an empty apartment room is so hard because 90% of indie films are like this. NIce job.

[@dannyfdonahue]

CZsWorld Yeah, locations are tough to get in LA. Thanks man

[@POOKESU]

I think that creature head should stick around. At least for the shorts where people feel like they're losing it. Maybe in the future, there can be a bit of a longer short where these people ( that see the creature) sort of get together to try and figure out where it came from, why they all see it. I think that'd be cool to see. Then again, some people might feel reminded of A Nightmare on Elm St 3. Anyway, thanks for the upload.

[@dannyfdonahue]

That's a fun idea. Who knows -- maybe it will come back again! Probably not for a little while though. Thanks for watching!

[@carolynclark1984]

Dude, you are so talented. Thanks for the nightmares! :)

[@dannyfdonahue]

Carolyn Clark No problem! Thanks for the kind words!

[@robynaugust]

Yours was the first short I was really impressed by on the Annabelle site. I saw your name as was like "I already subscribe to this guy!" haha You did a great job man!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Haha that's awesome! Thanks!

[@JulianTerry]

Honestly, I watched both of yours a ton of times!

[@robynaugust]

Julian Terry call me crazy but...I see a horror anthology in our future.

[@marahthabrat]

Your films are just awesome!

[@aubreybucholz8475]

I really enjoy how you took a simple idea and put that twist top it to make it better than it already is.

[@dannyfdonahue]

Aubrey Bucholz Thanks!

[@JulianTerry]

Great breakdown! Still blown away by the monster. Loved the setup you put in for it.

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks man!

[@theunderdogmrwilliams]

Love all your work!!!!!!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks a lot!

[@carsoncarollo6730]

It was creepy and well put together, and I think its your best horror short.

[@dannyfdonahue]

Cool, thanks!

[@zachsilby4569]

I haven't even watched TLT, but I love these behind the scenes things.

[@frankiepomps3172]

10/10 breakdown and I loved the short film, but quick question... What camera/ lens(es) did you use for the movie?

[@dannyfdonahue]

Frankie Pomps Thanks! An earlier model Red and a zoom lens, though I don’t know which kind. Not my gear. Shot mostly at 20mm and up to 50mm at times

[@cyklonus1]

Definitely subscribed! Great work!!

[@ZombiesOnDrugs101]

I challenge you to make a 10 second horror film

[@doriswhite1348]

Love the mask; good actor. Also, liked the tape on the chair. Said a lot about the man and his life. Wondering where the lamp was in the film itself. Was it behind the door? Anyway, very effective for such a short film.

[@dannyfdonahue]

Doris White Thanks a lot! Glad you noticed the little touch of tape and that it helped give some texture! You’re the first to mention it

[@ryangodoy]

Great info in this one for sure. I go through the same thing with actors. I used to try and over direct so much because I felt like a bad director if I didn't.

[@dannyfdonahue]

ryangodoy Yup - feels good to not have to do so much!

[@Rewind2022]

I'm doing a project on film making for school, would I be able to e-mail you some sort of questionnaire, sort of like an interview for a primary source in film making? Your short films are effective at their job even in a 1-5 minute slot. Thanks.

[@shortie77]

You did a great job, brilliant

[@max-jayderomero7743]

Great perspective - thank you!

[@visionbyeric1112]

Great stuff man, love your work!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks! Appreciate it!

[@TheDeldiz]

So I noticed the Crypt TV series "Soot" on your profile. That was yours too? Will you be doing a "making of" video on it?

[@rennepacheco9485]

reasons why im scared of open closets

[@FilmPhantom]

Did you color grade this video? What camera do you use

[@dannyfdonahue]

Actually no, this is straight out of the camera. It's a GH4

[@pratyushpattnayak9178]

I Just saw the whisperer and was going to comment if they both are same creature...then i found this video...Thanks 😂

[@suckedinstudios7881]

you should go on the show FaceOff. I love the channel and keep making videos. :)

[@dannyfdonahue]

Pretty sure I would be completely outmatched on a show like that, plus I don't really want to be an FX artist -- but thank you! Really glad you like my stuff!

[@NikitasGR21]

This is the mask from "The whisperer" is'nt it?

[@StephenIsTrying]

Nikitas Charalabopoulos Yes, he says it in this video

[@andre.barreto]

I thought it was a pretty good video, though not the scariest imo.
