Link: How to Improve Your Videos as a Paranormal Team
Back in September, we were honored to asked to speak at the 5th annual Spirits of the Rockies paranormal convention. We decided that to talk about ways to improve your videos you make for/as a paranormal team and how to better connect with your audience and tell stories. We chose this topic as we have a background in video, with both Dillon and I having film making and video production experience under our belts, as well as video production is my full time day job. The talk was well recieved and we filmed it for your enjoyment as well. Please feel free to leave comments and ask any questions you may have! We can't wait for next years convention! -Daniel- Hello everyone! Are you ready for the winter season?
We are! And even though we haven't been out lately, we have been active. Here are a few updates on our end. 1- we just removed Spirits of the Opera from YouTube. Why? Because we are looking into submitting it to the Lyons Film Festival and the Front Range Film Festival next year. We released it on YouTube for a short time as to allow those of you who attended the 2016 Dickens Horror Film Festival a chance to view it. If you attended and were unable to view it either at the Festival or online, please contact us and we will send you a special link to view it. The DHFF was the reason we made Spirits, and we wish to honor our agreement to allow any attendees to be able to view it. Watch for us to permanently release it next year though! 2- we are putting together a highlight video from the 5th annual Spirits of the Rockies paranormal convention. Stay tuned! Will have that out after Thanksgiving! 3- we will be uploading the video we recorded of our presentation at the Spirits of the Rockies convention. We were honored to be invited as speakers and we spoke on How To Improve Your Videos for paranormal teams. 4- we are continuing to work on our documentary short film, Desert Ghosts. We were hoping for a fall release but due to the Dickens Horror Film Festival and Spirits of the Rockies convention, we have not been able to put much time into completing Desert Ghosts as we had hoped. Never fear! It will be released before too long! 5- we will be editing together a video from our investigation we did at the Atlas Theater in Cheyenne, WY as part of the Spirits of the Rockies convention. That will be up hopefully by New Years. 5- we have a couple investigations we are working on, so stay tuned! As always, if you have any questions about the paranormal, would like us to come speak at an event, would like us to work on a video/film project with you or anything else you might desire to contact us about, just head over to the Contact page and shoot us a message! We will respond as soon as we can! -Daniel- Wow! What a way to kick off the inaugural year for a film festival! The 2016 Dickens Horror Film Festival was a big success and many incredible films were screened! Being big fans or the horror genre, we loved every minute of the Festival and enjoyed every film. Yes, we did jump at some parts!
We were very excited(and nervous!) to be premiering our documentary short film, Spirits of the Opera, that we had shot only a month earlier during the DHFF program release party. We caught some amazing evidence and to our relief, everyone enjoyed the film! We will be releasing it online for people to view who were unable to attend the Festival(or who just want to see it a second time!). Link to the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YmXSnLmjC0 We are also very excited and happy to announce that we will be working with the Dickens Horror Film Festival again in 2017, and hopefully for many years to come! So be sure to follow to find out what we might be doing for the Festival next year! -Daniel- Wow! That is all I can say!
We have had a very busy last few days. Starting with the Dickens Horror Film Fest release party. We were very excited to finally be able to investigate the Dickens Theater and we were not disappointed. While filming b-roll for our documentary of the Theater we experienced footsteps, shadow figures and a spirit demanding us to "sit down!" during a quick Spirit Box session. Later that night when we brought a few others along for a tour, activity wasn't as impressive but still caught some good Spirit Box responses. Evidence review will be held this week! Be sure to attend the Dickens Horror Film Festival on October 21 at the historic and haunted Dickens Theater in Longmont! Now on to the 5th annual Spirits of the Rockies paranormal convention! That was one of the best weekends of my life. We arrived rather late Friday night so we were unable to join any investigations and didn't meet many people, but Saturday was amazing. We made some great friendships with a couple other paranormal teams(PHOG and Cheyenne Mountain Paranormal Investigators). We listened to some very good talks. Met some amazing people. Got to share our stories and trade advice, techniques and theories with other investigators. Our talk on making better videos as paranormal investigators went over really well. And to top it off, we had an INSANE investigation of the Atlas Theater. Wow! So much activity! Can't wait to see what we caught! I can't wait for next years convention! -Daniel- Hello Spirit Trackers followers!
I am pleased to announce that post production is in full swing and making great progress on our latest paranormal documentary, Desert Ghosts! Upon doing evidence review and cutting together the film, I am blown away by some of the evidence we captured! Trust me when I say you will not want to miss this movie! We are shooting for a Fall release of the movie, and are looking into different locations to hold a release party at, so stay tuned! Here is a short teaser I threw together for your viewing enjoyment! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzEjKi3gk-k -Daniel- We are super excited to announce that we will be co-hosts of and speaking at the 5th annual SPIRITS of the Rockies Paranormal Convention in Cheyenne, WY on Saturday, Sep 24. The Conference runs Sep 23-25 and that Saturday will feature different classes and lectures on different aspects of the paranormal. The evening and night will consist of ghost hunts and haunted history tours. Everyone should come! Will be a great time!
For more information and to sign up: http://spiritsparanormal.vpweb.com/ -Daniel- We are excited to announce that we are in full blown post production mode for a new paranormal documentary! We had an absolutely incredible trip to Nevada and California, and were able to do some investigations at three incredible locations. We also were granted special access to an amazing location that few others are allowed to investigate! You will not want to miss this movie!
The movie is titled, Ghost Quest: Desert Ghosts. It will be a short paranormal documentary and we hope to release it this fall. Stay tuned! -Daniel- We are absolutely stoked and proud to announce that we have teamed up with the Dickens Horror Film Festival. We have joined the Festival as their paranormal investigation team, documentary film makers and supporters. We will be filming a short documentary on the historic and haunted Dickens Theater(where the Festival is being held) and a few lucky horror film makers will be chosen to join us for a private investigation. We will then be screening the special documentary at the Festival and revealing the haunted happenings of the incredible Theater. This is the first year for the Dickens Horror Film Festival and we are honored to be a part of it. Being both film makers and paranormal investigators, you couldn't ask for a more exciting opportunity.
Head on over to www.dickenshorrorfilmfestival.com/ to sign up for tickets and find out more information! You won't want to miss this festival! -Daniel- Though we didn't go very far. Real life reared it's ugly head and caused us to put paranormal investigation on hold for a while. Even though we weren't out in the field, we still managed to answers emails, produce a feature length paranormal documentary and I even got interviewed about the paranormal for a local podcast! But now, after a long but quick period of deliberation, Dillon and I have made the executive decision to reactivate the Spirit Trackers Team. Be watching for field investigations and more documentaries! I just got a pair of HD IR camcorders with two Phantom Lite FLARE IR lights, so get ready for some high quality video for a change. Look out spirits! We are going to track you down!
