We had a friend of mine record the lines and then simply copied and pasted the sound file in our editing software,creating the illusin of multable voices

Thanks, alot of that is to do with my editor, a talented guy called Simon Burdall (Who edited "No Time...") Kept the CCTV footage to a minimum (We actally filmed severeal shots of them assending the stairs)

The Actor playing the news reader is a guy that studies performing arts at my college, this poject washis fist on screen performance, I was pleased with his peformance but I found him quite sroppy at times.

I've not seen Bliar Witch Recently enouth to jugde the camera work, I do howevr remeber it serving as a constabaton aid as it scared the shit out of me !!!!!

Romeroe's own "found footage" film called "Diary of the dead" is by far the best of its kind, have you seen it?

Thanks once again for your kind words
