Fantastic idea!

It's one of those 'I wish I thought of that' moments.

So simple, and so clever. Great results too, beautiful pictures. I sort of want to hug Model 3 and tell him everything's going to be OK.

Reminds me of a series of studio pictures I saw a while back (probably in CR) taken of people as they were woken from sleep.
Like it.

Great idea!

Get some lady model shots - the scream, the hair, the drama will lead to priceless shots!
There likely to turn out better for obvious reasons.

Dont make me do it now...

This is hilarious, really cool idea! My only complaint is that after watching the vid, the selected photographs dont seem to capture the best scares. Sorry for being 'that guy', Its a great shoot nonetheless!

This is such a great idea.

I'm off to copy the concept, using my younger sibling as my model.

The "making of" video is much better than the final shots. Hard to imagine they need to actually scare models to get them to pull a scared face. Aren't models supposed to be able to express emotion?

I know the guy that came up with this idea.

@ CR,

The Vimeo link, above, doesn't appear to work, in Safari v4.1.1, at least.

Like the idea. Problem is the photos DON'T look genuine. They look like the models are pulling goofy scooby do scared faces.

Brilliant idea - very well executed.

There's just something wonderfully sadistic and entertaining about watching the process, that I don't get from the final photos. They just don't have the desired affect, in my opinion, without the accompanying film. But I love the concept.

Props to the models, I have to admit I did feel sorry for the last guy who was scared in the video - his reaction was one of pure fear! Great shots, great clothes.

Great idea, great shots. Really good to see how the concept has captured some really interesting shots. Much better than the usual Imagery that's churned out.

I absolutely love the method and their results. I'm amazed the pictures came out with such good quality considering the models stood in pitch dark for a long time before the noise sounded. They must have turned on the lights simultaneously with the sound. I'm also glad the models did not oppose being frightened. They even laughed after the ordeal was over.
