Lifting someone by the neck may look easy in the movies—you just need an actor who is ridiculously strong. But in the real world, where you don’t want to hurt the actor who is being lifted, it takes some smart camerawork and nifty editing to make it look convincing. In this segment of Show Us Your Shot, PJ Woodside and Steve Hudgins of Big Biting Pig Productions, from Kentucky, show you just how they pulled it off with only three simple shots, on their film, The Caretakers.
Steve Hudgins is the founder of Big Biting Pig Productions. He is an actor, director, producer, and award-winning writer who was recently referred to as a "Horror Meister to reckon with," by Friday the 13th writer Victor Miller.
PJ Woodside is an award-winning director, actor, and sound editor. She has written and directed four feature films and dozens of other projects. She holds an MFA in fiction writing from George Mason University.
Together, they are the “creepy” and the “crazy” of micro-budget horror movie-making!
