Filming on the Set of ‘The Sebet’

Here are some pho­tos I took (sssssssssssssh!) between takes dur­ing the film­ing of the bat­tle scene of ‘The Sebet’, an orig­i­nal inde­pen­dent fea­ture film con­cept cre­ated and writ­ten by Lisa Cam­pos and Cresta Nickl.

Unfor­tu­natly for the voyeurs out there, there’s noth­ing too reveal­ing in these pho­tos as reveal­ing behind-the-scenes pho­tos are a big no no. So maybe some pho­tos of grass, moun­tains and skies will be suf­fi­ciently inter­est­ing enough to con­vince you that I was there and that it was actu­ally pretty neat-o.

An inter­est­ing day run­ning around wav­ing swords and shields and pos­ing with strate­gi­cally placed angels in menanc­ing bat­tle poses and for­ma­tions. The dark side got to shout obscen­i­ties and grunt a lot how­ever. Turns out being a mem­ber of an angel army requires composure.

Despite this, the day wasn’t with­out inci­dent. One girl had to be taken to hos­pi­tal as an errant sword caused a minor cut in her lip. Turns out psudo bat­tle scenes can be quite dan­ger­ous after all.

Sebet Pro­duc­tions have pro­duced a three minute pitch­ing teaser directed by Lukas Strautins of Sprocket Films along with indus­try pro­fes­sional, Direc­tor of Pho­tog­ra­phy, Trish Keat­ing.

On the Sev­enth Day before he rested, God cre­ated The Sebet. These angels who would become the guardians of sin, bestowed with the duty of watch­ing over man.

The great bat­tle between Lucifer’s army of demons against the Sebet has raged over cen­turies. After fail­ing to fol­low God’s order to destroy Lucifer, the Sebet would fall from favor in the heav­ens; ban­ished to the land of men. Stranded and deserted, the Sebet accept Lucifer’s offer of immor­tal­ity cursed with a thirst of drain­ing the blood from every sin­ner and deliv­er­ing them to the fires of hell. It is with this unend­ing thirst that the first vam­pire is cre­ated. With every pass­ing year, the Sebets’ bond with­ers and their thirst grows stronger.

Will they reunite to redeem them­selves as God’s angels or will they for­ever live in dark­ness, cursed by Lucifer?
