NIGHTVISION
NightVision is a horror experience. It's not a movie, it's not a book, a comic or game! It's a new type of horror experience, played out on facebook, youtube and across the web. We call it FaceBook Theater. And it is terrifying! From the experiments we've done it really cranks up the tension.  Watch the video above for a more detailed explanation.

Keith Allen spoke today on the BBC about his involvement with NightVision "Theatre for the Facebook generation" we couldn't have said it better! We're extremely excited to have him involved. Could there be a better reason to be support NightVision???

THE STORY

Q: If your genius was mocked or denied what lengths would you go to prove yourself?
A group of mates from Imperial College are thrown into a living nightmare. Trapped in the pitch black they only have a camera's nightvision mode to act as their eyes. The footage from the camera's is being uploaded to youtube LIVE. Caroline is on facebook and as a 'friend' she asks for your help. What is happening to her mates? As Caroline's facbook posts become more erratic people start to post questions about Caroline's true motivations. A story begins to unfold dating back to 1850's, covering transhumanism, greed , genius. And murder. If you thought Blair Witch was scary, scream again! Clicking has never been so terrifying! Watch the trailer...


NightVision - a new form of entertainment   
We need your support to make NighVision - be sure to experience Nightvision FIRST support us at the bottom of the page.

The show will have an advertised start time and will take about 1/2 hour to complete. It is totally self enclosed and can be retold as often as we want.   Viewers are invited as Caroline's Facebook 'friend' to witness the drama unfold. Links to other social content platforms will quickly reveal the horror and the truth at the heart of the story.   The audience will be able to interact on her Wall, posting back links to YouTube and other websites or just watch as the pace increases to a frantic, fatal pitch.

If you are interested in experimental storytelling then make sure you choose the +$50 package to get VIP access and a webcast on the making of NightVision.

How we will spend YOUR money
We value every $ people give us and we can assure you that it will all be ploughed into making NightVision the scariest geek experience you can imagine.
All of the cast and crew are working for costs, and below they're day jobs with back end points (a profit bonus) included in their agreements. But like us and I hope you, they really want to be involved in something new and exciting.

The core team are working for nothing and will not take any money from your support.

More details can be found here

Why fund this project?
We started this adventure because we wanted to prove that there was a new type of entertainment experience for us all to get involved in: whether viewer or participant. We think we have an original voice matched with the experience to create something new and challenging. If you want to be part of creating a new type of story telling or just love the thrill of being scared witless we hope you'll sponsor NightVision.

Spreading the Word
We'd be incredibly grateful for anything you can do to spread the word, to friends, families, other (horror) film fans or anyone interested in being part of a new type of entertainment experience. Thank you for helping to make this happen!

We just made a 'to camera' piece that explains how NightVision is going to work. And yes, I uploaded the wrong preview image and it takes 36 hours to filter through!!!

Heh you at the back stop laughing!

I just wrote a new blog post about the theory of making NightVision.

It is the first of 4 and is about Lurkers, free-linking behavior, powerlaws of communities and their emergent properties. Will you be the 90% the 9% or the 1%?

http://t.co/W8GXsCg

Comments and thoughts welcome. (If your not lurking that is)

Just spotted a great blog post from AnyThingHorror.com

"...I think this sounds like it's worth $10 to support what seems to be a really original and scary premise.  I mean shit; I pay more than $10 when I go see a shitty remake in the theater (and that's not including the cost of gas to drive to the friggin' theater!!).  So check out their fundraising page [a=../Pages/Projects/ShowProjectDetails.aspx?pid=1384]here[/a] in order to see exactly where your donated cash will go.  I don't know about you, but I'm sick of Hollywood putting a price on creativity; check out their page and you'll see this is a worthwhile project utilizing unique storytelling skills, all the latest technology, and some good old fashioned scares!!  Check out the teaser trailer below, visit them [a=../Pages/Projects/ShowProjectDetails.aspx?pid=1384]here[/a], and then help make history!!"

We particularly like the make history part.
