I disagreed with your comment of stating that you'd like to see what we have done is better ...
I'd rather see a poor attempt at making a good film than seeing a good attempt at making a poor film

Well, I thought it was pretty good.
Maybe a little bit too much build up- could probably be about 30secs in total- but was a nice idea and not badly executed.

That's because I've usually found that those with the least amount of tact to be the ones with the least to offer.
Actualy, 8salacious9, I found your response to be the most helpful. You laid out your critique and offered real reasoning as opposed to just saying it sucked.
But again, you all are obviously allowed to respond however you want...
Since when does one have to be a creator to critique? Are movie critics all directors? Are panel judges all participants? No. Seriously think about what you type before you post.
@TC. I liked the second one you posted. Actually looked like you put effort into it. I do recommend you get a tripod or shoulder type rig though.

From what I saw the OP didn't ask for a critique. And as I stated above, my point was that there are ways of giving critque without sounding like a jerk. If you don't agree, I don't care.
Um... bite me?
Just because you don't agree doesn't mean I didn't "think" before I posted.
And to imply that I didn't makes you sound extremely arrogant. As if your opinion is the only one that counts. People should try having some humility...

Well, he posted it in the screening room. I think there's reasonable expectation he wants critique. Also, if I don't agree, you don't care? LOL, ok?
Real mature. Get a life.
@TC, sorry for threadjacking with this useless garbage. Lasvegas just has some issues I think.
The only thing epic about this video is the reaction to it. Dude was going for some ironic humor. It didn't quite work out as planned. Can we get past it now?

I ask for people to use tact when critiquing and I get told I don't think before I post and that I have issues...
Tough room...
Whatever.
Where do you get computers with one of THOSE keys???
Of course I was looking for reactions, isn't that the point of any film? And I appreciate the very little education gained from this thread. Looks like I still have plenty to learn about this audience.
The 'useless garbage' is always tolerated but, naturally, not useful.
Yes.
The main thing you can take away from the thread is that people don't appreciate their time being wasted. It's a big lesson that a lot of filmmakers need to learn, alas in a different way to your lesson.
I really liked it. It played on antisipation before the big let down and the point was to sell it as being epic. I get it. Not sure why others didn't.
You can do a series of these and they can get better and better i think. I also think it takes a subtle poke at big budget Hollywood films that oversell and then tell a story about nothing. Maybe that was your motivation maybe not, but that gives it meaning in my book which makes it even better. Do more, I'd be interested in seeing them.

That would be true if Hollywood did 90 minute adverts for 30 second movies.
Meh. Seen one scammy 3 minute advert for 5 seconds of boredom, seen them all I rekon
Come on, it's a funny concept. I can imagine another with an intense bourne identity like intro only to show a guy finshing on his fishing boat, he thinks he has a catch for minute, he doesn't, he grumbles, cut to titles. I would subscribe to a youtube channel that made one of those fortnightly.
And I think we are missing the bigger picture here. OP managed to get 35 replies on his post of a video about a dude making a sandwich. He made making a sandwich interesting and sold the idea via promotional tactics...I think there's something to learn here.

With all due respect your talking crap
This short says "THIS FILM IS GOING TO BE EPIC!" and then the actual film is about...nada.
Hollywood promotes films the same way. The big sell. The big let down.
It's you're not your.
very cool indeed
