If you get time, I'd like you to look at these...


MOVIES THAT YOU SHOULD WATCH:
Thai horror film which is practically Project Zero in film format with a buff actor as the main guy (will post up some pics of him which I found which would suit Yu's wardrobe ideas).  Very creepy and there's this scene with cool lighting effects similarly used in the latest Youtube link that Rumzi posted before with the mannequins creeping up on Brad whenever the lights go off or when he turns his back.

Singaporean horror film about Ghost month. Very good film in showing how people would act around this time and the scares are subtle which is how I'd like the scares to be in HW if possible.  Sticking to true Asian horror! Also Rumzi, this is NOT what you're thinking.

Hong Kong horror film about a blind girl who gets an eye transplant and is able to see ghosts because of it.  Very good example of Asian (modern) ghosts as there is a big difference between them and Western ones.  I'd like to incorporate Asian ghosts to HW to keep it true towards Ghost Month in spirit.

YUUMEI ON DA IS AWESUM:

Her 1000 words and Knite flash comics is what I had in mind for the cutscenes of HW cept the characters will have that Hotel Dusk squiggle effect and a much larger audio role.

CHINESE OPERA IS HORRIBLE SOUNDING (FOR ME) BUT I LOVE THE COSTUMES:

Okay more inspiration stuff since Chinese Opera is featured quite heavily during Ghost Month as part of the performances so I thought it would be good to share.  This is a pop video which incorporates it so the opera singing is bearable for me and I'll try and find some traditional-traditional stuff later.


LASTLY:
What do you guys think about incorporating voice acting into HW? I know that it'll be a hassle to find actors and yadda yadda yadda but it'll be an awesome touch to have especially for the cut scenes.

This now concludes my epic post. THIS END!

  2. Ahh you have the same issues I use to have. My parents didnt like me staying up on the comp all night either. We're often online before 11:30 thou. If you can get on it would be awesome, maybe we shld arrange a time.

    I had a quick look online to see if there was anywhere you could watch these moives and no real luck. There was one place but it looked like it had been filmed with a webcam, and then compressed, and then put on youtube and then filmed with another webcam so the quality is terrible. Plus I think it was the remake anyway. But if you get a drop box account we can trasnfer the stuff to you that way, I've got all the films on my computer.

  3. Michelle: If you can get a dropbox account (I'll send you an invite) I can put the files on there for you to access. You don't have to download the films just wait for the files to sync and you copy/paste it into your computer. I've got The Maid and The Eye, Mike has Shutter. I'll just add your account to the shared folder and we can go from there ^-^. *just read Mike's comment* yep, what he said XD

    About skype conference calls, don't worry I was thinking about scheduling it at around 7 or 8pm for 30 mins or so. Should be ok for that? I think at the moment just posting here is fine too. If you have a question, just post it and I'll get back to ya since I practically live here XD. Ta!
