Shorts spotlight: The Sparkling

Monday, July 30th, 2012

What is THE SPARKLING? Why it’s M Night Shyamalan’s new movie of course.

Synopsis: Puppets Harry and Luther somehow land jobs as caretakers to the legendary Stanley Hotel.  Upon arrival Luther is immediately overtaken by an evil spirit, while Harry learns about his new found gift of telepathy.  Adventure, excitement, and outrageous nudity awaits the pair around every corner!  Who will outlast who in this thrill-a-minute parody based on a famous Colorado legend.

Director: Artfacestudios

Laugh Track: How much time and energy did you spend making it?

Artfacestudios: “The Sparkling” was filmed on location at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Some scenes were finished in our green screen room if they needed touching up or another layer of video. We spent one sleepless night rampaging through the hotel unsupervised with puppets and a bunch of liquor. Several hours were spent at the bar. Upon receiving the invite to “go ahead and cross any lines that keep you out, and have fun” from the owner and bartender we continued our evening in a drunken rage throughout the entire hotel… I would imagine we created several of the “unexplained” sounds the ghost tour might have heard.

Was it worth it? (more…)
