[@penguinsrockrgr8yt216]

basant khatiwara No

[@davidgalvan6926]

Please!!

[@jamesmarvin6945]

YES There should DEFINITELY BE a Moonlight Man 3 There should be maybe a little bit of BACKSTORY behind Moonlight Man Is he an Antihero is he just an opportunist What"s his gig What"s his deal What makes Moonlight Man tick

[@ryangodoy]

Jump scare at 9:01 really got me. I'm shook.

[@NIGHTMARECRIPT]

As an aspiring filmmaker, this is very encouraging. Thank you! And the effects you put on the mask are really impressive. I thought the mouth of the mask could actually move.

[@CZsWorld]

Sometimes I don't know why we shoot in LA. There's always a plane.

[@sexylena8265]

I really love love how your mind works when it comes to making short films. I'm so excited about what you are working on next. I'm a huge fan of your work. Have a good day.

[@dannyfdonahue]

sexy Lena Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it!

[@kendramiller3677]

I've seen the short horror film the moonlight man 1 and 2 and I've always wondered how they was created or how they came about. Thank you Danny you are the mastermind behind how to make a good short horror film and scare the pants off the viewers. Absolutely amazing and keep up the good work

[@dannyfdonahue]

Kendra Miller Thanks very much!

[@samrparker1224]

Watch Alien: Covenant: I Sleep. Watch Aliens: Real Sh*t? Watch The Moonlight Man: ASCENDED.

[@dmgjesuspesqueda1066]

Wow!! A new fan here!! You and James Wan especially Stephens King are my favorite horror writers!!! Keep going and don't stop!!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Jesus S. Pesqueda Thanks a lot!

[@MollyT17]

Both of the Moonlight Man short horror films have got to be my favorite ones I've ever seen! Gave me nightmares lol Wonderful job Danny :) Also 10/10 best jumpscare ever 9:01

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks for watching!

[@mgthebee7043]

The scariest thing to man is man itself. You sir, are truely a master of horror

[@dannyfdonahue]

MGTheBee Thanks!

[@Ennsqui]

I love hearing about the process and working around the troubles, but my favorite part is the SFX in all of them, all of the creatures and masks you design are simply chilling!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Squishy Amari Thank you! So glad you like them

[@amycupp7626]

AMAZING!!!!!!!

[@alphaworldwatch2288]

I like the filming

[@rosedoesntknow1853]

Personally, I feel that the first one was scarier. There was more teasing with the Monster, and we were scared of the unknown. I recommend not showing the Monster's face so soon, and having him stand mostly in light is somehow less intimidating

[@collincook9833]

As soon as I got the notification on my phone I came to watch! Love these "making of videos". Always helping with my own films 👍🏻👍🏻. Thanks a bunch man!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Happy to hear that! Thanks!

[@samrparker1224]

You are the best stort horror film director (probably one of the best horror directors overall) that I've ever seen. Even with the pretty low budget you still manage to make outstanding horror films, that really are quite scary. Keep it up!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Samrparker 12 Thanks very much, I really appreciate that!

[@beardoswaggins739]

The advice at the end, once put into practice, is legitimately the best advice for any creative! Great work Danny!

[@hadeshouseproductions9035]

I was wondering when you were going to post the making of part 2. I never clicked the notification so fast! I can’t wait til you post your next short! ☺️

[@dannyfdonahue]

ANDYVISUALS Thanks - hoping the next short will be shot this month

[@byronsmessedupmind5546]

That eye blink truly added so much more to the already creepy mask. I certainly thank you for taking the time to give us BTS of your production.

[@betabeta6335]

NGL, I find many of the your short films boring, but I really really enjoy hearing about HOW you made the short films.

[@mio-iy1er]

I really loved that Short film(tbh, all Danny's films) Btw, any videos coming soon? (sorry for the bad english, friend.)

[@dannyfdonahue]

nowcaph Thank you! Yes, I’m hoping to shoot the next one this month!

[@vukasinstan180]

I don't know why, but when I watched The Moonlight Man on my phone my lock screen wallpaper switched by itself to thumbnail of video for couple of hours

[@hibuddy6529]

creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy! XD

[@ckel1579]

2:57 I’m thinking “hey, the moonlight man likes her!”

[@marvinrandolph3731]

Hey Danny I really love your filmmaking ability dude you're excellent at making things look real creepy I wish I could give you the money so that you can make a full length feature film on Moonlight man that was a super great short film man loved it got to have more bro keep doing what you do I will keep supporting you in every way I could I'm a new subscriber I saw you on chills right on bro keep doing what you do

[@dannyfdonahue]

Hey thanks, man! I really appreciate it. It means a lot to hear stuff like that!

[@kacisullivan9003]

You're an incredible artist. Seriously impressive. Seriously brilliant.

[@MasMashFilms]

Solid insight. Keep up the awesome work!

[@dannyfdonahue]

MasMash Films Thanks!

[@amandamiguel7183]

That is so cute the moon man. Cute eyes and. Smiley face

[@maxoconnorhurni]

Can you please further explore the character of the moonlight man, somehow he’s just so compelling! And maybe a longer film could give us an origin? Idk but please! He’s somehow iconic

[@dannyfdonahue]

Max O'Connor Hurni Thanks! Yes, I’d like to do more with him in the future, but I’ll probably do some other ideas first

[@balgingbers]

Congrats!! I love all ur footages

[@Amorphith]

Can you make a part 3 of this

[@coolcam055]

Really love your work man! Keep it up!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Wazz Thank you!

[@youniquelyerika7003]

Wow I love your horror mind!! So glad I found you!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks a lot! Glad you’re enjoying my stuff!

[@dipdipanimations8313]

Any new short films coming out this soon?

[@dannyfdonahue]

Yes indeed. I’m on rough cut four of my newest one!

[@StephenIsTrying]

Wow, didn’t even notice the light humming sounds you threw in! I’m gonna have to rewatch! Great video though, keep ‘em coming!

[@dannyfdonahue]

CutToBlackFilm Thanks!

[@StephenIsTrying]

Danny Donahue No, thank you for all the quality content!

[@arielbentley002]

Where’d they go?

[@zouhirlabrahmi8605]

Hi Danny, what stabilizer did you use for the tracking shots ? Keep up the good work man

[@dannyfdonahue]

Zouhir LABRAHMI Thanks! It’s just the crappy PVC pipe shoulder rig I made for the first Moonlight Man. You can see it in the BTS for that one. I just walked as smoothly as possible - worked pretty well

[@GinTheCerberus]

I miss your films!

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks! I fully intend to do more. In fact one is already cut and I’m working on writing a new one!

[@GinTheCerberus]

Danny Donahue I bet it will be as great as your other films!

[@darkgardenfilms3978]

Yes!!! Are u making anymore videos/short horror films? By the way I have started making short horror films. They are a little cheesy but ya

[@dannyfdonahue]

Dark Garden Films Yes, more to come! And that’s excellent - keep it up!

[@grimmo3936]

Coming back man

[@collincook9833]

I need more shorts from you man! 🙌🏻 #imissdannydonaue

[@dannyfdonahue]

Collin Cook Thanks! I’m working on a cool new idea right now. Hopefully I can film it ASAP!

[@collincook9833]

Danny Donahue love to hear that! Any spoilers?? 😂😂

[@dannyfdonahue]

Collin Cook Haha not yet anyway. I sometimes post progress photos and stuff though, so we’ll see

[@collincook9833]

Danny Donahue I guess I'll just have to re watch the other shorts then 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@adamkurek6723]

Camillie you right MAKE MOONLIGHT 3!!1

[@jiretox21]

Very well done. Keep it up bro, love youre work, keep saying dont need a huge budget to do something these good.

[@dannyfdonahue]

Hey thanks!

[@Sharkfurter]

Hey Dan, love the stuff you make and as an independent film maker myself I eagerly await every making of. It'd be sweet if you did more tutorials as well! But I had a question about the Moonlight Man himself. What's he thinking? He's clearly not just some animal that hunts and stalks, seeing as he has the intelligence to trick people, hide, lure them, etc.

[@dannyfdonahue]

Thanks! I haven't dug too deep into his origins -- something I may do in the future -- so I can't say exactly where he's coming from, other than that his motives are sinister.

[@classicjackson97]

Please Moonlight Man 3!!

[@Shrampsteen]

Thank you!

[@samrparker1224]

DUDE YOU GOT WWZ ON YOUR BOOK SELF THAT'S AWESOME

[@dannyfdonahue]

Samrparker 12 Haha yup, but still haven’t finished it.

[@alpahrexitv2721]

How big is the actor of the Moonlight man?

[@patriciaramos2884]

moonlight man 3,nice

[@samrparker1224]

You should make a video of The Moonlight Man doing the dance Pennywise the Dancing Clown did in the movie IT.

[@universalindierec]

Thanks for this...

[@biohazord540]

Hi. I really love your horror vids, I make GMVs or multifandom vids. I’ve been planning to make a horror Music video and was wondering if I could use the moonlight man and a few others. “With you getting proper credit of course”

[@jaafarj133]

مخرج مبدع بصراحة كلش ❤ بس ماعرف شحجي متابعك من العراق شكرا لك انا عبالي صدك احبك

[@xForeverActivex]

Moonlight Man 3?👀

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

I’d like to see moonlight man up against a Canadian hockey team.

[@beagobuzz]

it was gooooood

[@user-xw9gp9ju6j]

I think it's a movie, what's the title?

[@subwoofer07]

What’s the tape on his shoulders

[@matthewaq1440]

How did they make that chaterring in the short film

[@martakazmierczak310]

Dear Mr Donahue Hello. I noticed some new fingers instead of the talon gloves on the new hand look. How were they created. I need them. If I do not receive a response I will be contacting my lawyers. -All the best, a threat/question.

[@coderedfox5630]

Yes

[@tosyo2197]

how do you animate the eyes ?

[@grimmo3936]

Any news on the new shortfilm

[@SirReelist]

Hey dude! Great short films! I love how simple yet effective they are and they work well with their genres. You make low budget look good and work well. I made a couple videos on my channel where I watch and react to both your Moonlight Man short films and I’d appreciate it if you gave them a watch. I’m a growing filmmaker myself and I’m trying to grow on KZbin so any views and feedback helps. Thanks for your insight and for your work!

[@melonblast1868]

i have to go to school with the moonlight man.

[@robina.paredesc.8589]
