My film

[rocketshiip]

Hey everybody!
I have completed my newest masterpiece that is both brilliant and brilliant.
You all should watch it, give it five stars, and tell ALL of your friends. I worked way too hard on it for it not to become a sensation.
It's only like five minutes.

i love my movies. Sometimes I'm the only one. but they are tremendous.

the walk through Kings was delightful, the pie eating was disgusting, and the end result... questionably spectacular.

Thank you Regina.

It could've been 45 seconds. It was boring... boring... confusing.... disgusting.... awesome...

Get rid of the first 2 and profit.

Have you ever tried playing with filters. It might make it a little more aesthetically pleasing. This is cool that you've done a film like this. I myself would like to start filming, I just don't have the drive right now.

I'm gonna give it 1 star just because you told me to give it 5.

The cop was so awful he was almost good - in a funny way. I still don't know what the exact point to the film was. What made the kid feel sick? How did the cop know the kid had a stomach ache? How did the kid continue to eat the pies with both hands in tact if he had been slowly eating one of them? Too many questions go unanswered.

Thanks for the constructive critique guys. I realize it's very bizarre.. but that's sort of what I was going for. That being said, I'm rather pleased with how it turned out, particularly the cinematography. In any case, most of your comments and questions have seriously been helpful.

"I'm gonna give it 1 star just because you told me to give it 5."

Duly noted. So that's where the 1 star came from..

And Jonzey, in answer to your questions:
The film wasn't necessarily supposed to have an exact point. It was meant to be kind of obscure. Maybe I didn't portray that well enough. However, some people have seen it make a strong point of gluttony, if you want to view it that way. That wasn't necessarily the original intention, but I think it's an intriguing take.
The kid was just sick. To explain how he got sick would have been irrelevant.
The cop knew he was sick because he told him.
And actually, at the beginning of the pie sequence he eats with both hands, but then if you pay attention, after a few seconds, you only see his right hand. Because.. y'know.. his left one gets eaten. I was careful to make sure there was no left hand after the initial shoving of the pie in the face, especially when you start seeing a little blood around his mouth. Perhaps I didn't make this clear enough, because you'd kind of have to pay attention to notice. Thanks!

What are you using to edit?

[jonzey]

Rocket - I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the hands, I just assumed he was using both. You got me there. I really enjoy deep character development in film, which is why I was hoping at some point the kid's illness would be explained, but, I also understand that when you are working with a film that is five-and-a-half minutes long you have to omit some things.

What I did leave out of my initial post is that I thoroughly enjoyed the film and the pie-eating part grossed out my wife.

Good work.

[rocketshiip]

Ha ha, thank you jonzey. I'm not surprised it grossed her out. It's not exactly just anyone's kind of film.

Slugger - I used Final Cut Pro on a Macintosh computer. and I meant to thank you for your previous post.. good luck with any future film endeavors!

Ah dang.. this means someone actually gave it a low rating. That's a killer..
