Nightwalk (2005) watch online HD

The film cost very little indeed, with no actual "budget" to speak of. The location, equipment, and editing facilities were readily available to the filmmakers. The crew consisted of three people - each of whom did a variety of tasks during production.

The film is based on a poem by Michael A. Hunter, who narrates the on-screen action. The crew of Hunter, Kevin Powis and Dave James previously collaborated on the short film "The Golden Sphere" (2003).

With no budget, the lighting was achieved through the use of simple torches, operated by Dave James. The end result was a crude, yet realistic look, that seemed to fit the black and white photography well.

The filming was largely improvised by director Kevin Powis and the crew. The only scripted element was the narration itself, which would be recorded by Michael A. Hunter after the shooting. This allowed the filmmakers to get plenty of shots, and then assemble the best of them in the editing room, without the need to worry about shot order or narrative.

The film premiered at the "London Poetry Film Night", at the renowned Genesis Cinema.

The poem was written with the short film especially in mind. The words were written around shot ideas that Michael A Hunter had while writing the "poem". The story and shot ideas were there at the beginning.
