Smoking Kills - 15/7/2024

Smoking Kills was the first film I ever made and I remember it very well. I made this in the holidays between highschool and college and at that time I was confused as to what I wanted to do at the time. My original plan was to study maths, physics and computer science (luckily I didn’t do that). I have always had a passion for films and the creative industry from a young age but never really knew if I should pursue it or not.

Don’t let the short run time fool you this project took about a week or so from getting all the equipment to adding the sounds and doing the voices. Initially I was going to create one of those animations that production houses use before the film starts. The initial idea of that was that a man got shot in the head and the blood splatter on the wall would spell out the name of the company. The reason I didn’t do this was because I didn’t want to totally ruin the white wall and I also didn’t have a name for the company so I scrapped the idea.
