Final Concepts in Motion

The final project was a group project. The assignment was to make a movie trailer. My group decided to make a trailer for a horror movie we called Something Crazy. It is a spin on the monster under the bed. It is about parents in a small town that are summoning demons and sacrificing their kids.
