Hey guys, first time posting on this site. I am shooting my first horror film in a couple weeks and I've been spinning the wheels through Preproduction to be as prepared as possible for this shoot. ( As i'm sure you all are used to) I am shooting a horror film that will have a lot of splats, blood and all kinds of other special effects gunk flung through air cannons at the camera. I hear camera's are not a big fan of getting wet or taking oatmeal, syrup,or water all over them so i'm preparing to make a plexiglass shield to affix to the front of the camera. I'm using 15mm rods on my camera setup and would like to wingnut with some washers the plexiglass to the front of the rods but i'm not sure if that will be the best setup. The lens primes I have will not be varying in length. Does anyone have any different setups that they could recommend for this situation?

If you got a couple of minutes to spare, check out our new short horror film: "Death in C Minor" This is one of our first attempts at a short film horror film. Shot with the Sony A7s and the Rokinon Cine 35mm and 50mm Lenses. We weren't too satisfied with some of our lighting and camera work (among other things). We want to improve our craft, so let us know what you think -- good, bad, and ugly. Thanks, Jason R
