Our video was initially named this but later changed to Crimson Desire as we wanted it to be cryptic at the start. Just a hint of darkness but not a clear sign of death.
We had a very difficult time getting actors/actresses for our movie.
I casted a few people but the guys were all not fit for the role. He needed to be someone suave, upright and attractive but also able to have a very sinister, cunning expression for the last shot. My friend, David, was perfect for it but not available. We kept this option open to the last minute where we agreed that Marijn would have to do it. Marijn was not a far off option. He had the right look. Only problem was that he's not a suit-and-tie type guy, and also not an actor, so it was difficult for him to completely embody what was envisioned for a character who was very upright and revealed little on his face that was not INTENDED. Marijn is very relaxed and follows the complete opposite philosophy. In the end, he did a great job except for the scenes with the sinister smile. Those didn't work too well!
As for the girls, we had a few girls on board but pulled out at the last minute for shooting. This was very disappointing and put us in a bit of a frenzy. But I'd told everyone to bring appropriate clothes ahead of time, foreseeing that this might happen. So all the crew girls became the cast girls.
My Aunty allowed us to use her house for shooting. The location turned out to be perfect especially for shots where we needed a mirror and calendar near the door.
The difficulty was shooting a murder scene with 3 little ones running around plus a dog!
