Aww thanks Nathan, I invested so much of myself into this, and it's really personal and emotional for me...I have to tweak a couple things but then it will be done.

Thank you for watching it, I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much L-MN_o_P.


haha...my one person crew (myself) and my silly little camera that I love...you'd be surprised what some intensive color correction will do for you.

...I get to use awesome equipment...but for this film..this is just all me by myself.


That dolly shot?

Yup..I definitely put a whiteboard on my skateboard and put the tripod on that.


the things you do to "get the shot"

Hah, even better. It's a great looking piece.

I hope so. :-)

Thanks Thommy...and don't you stop making cute videos of your family! :-)

Thanks. It's alright....he's a little spunk he won't go without a fight. Haha. :-)

Good to hear!!

Thanks. Yeah he is, but I wanted to make something whimsical and happy for him. Things are good in the world. My project is turned in, I'm happy with it, and I love my BFF and he's pretty happy with the outcome :-)

Aww thanks Babies Baker. I wanted to make something happy and pleasant.


(not to mention that i'm more concerned with the cinematography over the editing, even though it's for an editing class hahaha)....


I'm a better person for having made it.

Thanks Steadman...you're too kind.

On a more unrelated note...I'm gonna try marmite...so we have that to look forward to...haha.

Aww thanks blake. You're my staff pick. (wait, did that even make sense? haha)

I have to keep working up to making more things with cinematography that will make people's hearts explode.


hahaha :-)

oh no...it's supposed to be happy....kind of...haha..you know what i mean. :-)

Thank you for taking the time to watch it...it means a lot to me.

It didn't make me laugh :)
I know, its totally liberating, he completed his list, he can go now with a smile and I'm lucky he did and it makes me somehow happy – but on the other hand the story made me so sad that I could not continue watching other videos ...

That totally makes sense. After I showed it in class, i don't think anyone knew what to say either. There was this really awkward silence thing for a little bit.

I hope you can continue watching fantastic vimeo videos today :-)

Thank you for your comments.

Aww thanks Aziz :-)

(Your name reminds me of one of the lion characters on Animal Crossing - a game on the gamecube...he was always my favorite...Aziz the lion with blue hair.. this is what he looks like animalcrossing.neoseeker.com/images/uploads/lions_mini.png

I know that was completely unrelated..haha...but yeah. I love Aziz. haha.

haha :) I know Aziz the lion. I've played animal crossing on DS for a while, until one day, the person I was playing it online told me he was 11 and had to go to bed at 8pm.

that's when I realized, I was too old for this :)

NO ONE is too old for Animal crossing.

I have many memories of it taking over my life.

And me scheduling my life AROUND it.


*sigh*

You will be my Aziz lion from now on.
haha

I have to extend them..but i reached the 5 minute time limit for the class assignment, so next week when I reupload it, it will be better if its on there longer so you can actually read it. :-)

Oh my gosh, this was such a cute comment. I thank you for leaving one. I think you are fantastic.

Not specifically for this. It's already a song, and I talked to him about using it for a short film, or making a music video or something for it and he was really enthusiastic about it. He's a really great musician you should definitely check out his music. :-)

Thanks Scruffs. Yeah the entire process of just making this and hanging out with him was just really great....this film was shot under ridiculous circumstances, at one point he got into a bad car accident before we were able to finish but he came over a couple days later to film the last scene at my house. I love him to death. He's like my little brother. :-)


I need to keep making videos to catch up to your 100.
hahahah.

:-)

Hopefully once school is done at the end of this week I'll have more time to make some stuff Take care scruffs.

Aww Thanks Joe. I miss you a lot.

We need to go on adventures together
via the interwebs...
haha

Love it ! Really beautifully sad !

Aw thanks Rems. I'm glad your vimeo is working :-)


the vimeo community would stop if there wasn't any rems in it.

:-)

ahah

Thanks doll. Yeah he's doing alright, every couple weeks he has to go to the hospital but he's doing fine, he just works and goes to shows. :-) Yeah I have to trim a couple bits and pieces and wait for it to stop raining so I can shoot something over cause it bothers me (just like something little)..but that's the only way we grow, bye continually tweaking or work. But he really likes it and it turned out way better than he had expected so I'm glad.

Thanks Emmanuel. Yeah the thing that bothers me the most is the bridge scene in the beginning...the cutaways....the suspension of disbelief..that there is a chainlink fence there but when he looks out there aren't on the cutaways...but it's been so gloomy and rainy..hopefully next week it will light up so I can shoot cutaways again. Then extension of the credits. A lot of my other technical problems I can't fix without reshooting with Tim and I don't want to have to do that again.


"we'll fix it in post"

haha

(Dinosaurs are vital to any Karen project. haha just kidding.)

When I was little, I had an imaginary friend that was a brontosaurus.

"we'll fix that in post"

hehe

you are right, the shot of the sky is strange when he looks outside. otherwise, don't worry. I think it is a great short and you can keep it as it is.

I love Me and You and Everyone We Know..the DP for that film did a beautiful job..my favorite part is the shot with the kids laying on the grass in a circle getting the gummy worms. *sigh*

You're my favorite little chomper.

chomp chomp
thanks for dealing with me when i am hysterical and delusional while editing.

Aww Jon you are too kind. Yeah i just have to fix minor things like the cutaways on the bridge..I have to shoot it through the chainlink fence...which means waiting for a day where the sky looks good....with rains that could be a while. I HAD to have the dinosaurs....i"m so juvenile. haha. My best friend thought it was hilarious.

I'm lucky to have a loving and encouraging vimeo community and Vimians like you.


:-)

Aww thank you so much, this feedback means the world to me.

I have a list of 100 things to do before I die...i'm working very slowly towards them all.

haha

Thanks Baumer <3

I thought it was funny too...There was supposed to be a shot of him flying a shark kite over a dock....but alas..no wind in fairfield.


Thanks for taking the time to watch this Ben.

I thought I had "liked" this long ago. Alas, I hadn't. I like the color correction you did to it. Of course, I don't remember exactly how it looked, but this was pretty nice.

I hope that helps.

The wall is really THAT blue in real life.

Thanks for the side-by-side. Very impressive work.

Thanks Peika :-)

I love this community a lot. All these people mean so much to me. I am concerned about building meaningful relationships with vimeans because I watch their videos and I feel like I get a little insight as to who they are and what beautiful people they are.

Thanks for your positive feedback. The first original cut i Made actually didn't have outside audio, and it was more of a music video type thing, but it didn't have the feel I wanted. Unlucky for me I had the intentions of doing that while filming, so most of the audio is really really awful and is of me talking to Tim telling him what to do and directing him. Or him making jokes. But it was a great experience.


I look forward to checking out more of your stuff. Have an absolutely beautiful day.

Aww thanks so much hun. Yeah actually when I was sitting down with my friend coming up for titles he said "Carpe Diem." And I said...I couldn't call it that because Dead Poet's Society pretty much took all the associations of that word. Ahaha..

But everything is so overwhelmingly beautiful to me.

I enjoy it.


:-)

I actually made the tweaks and they are on my virb and youtube but i have to wait till sunday to upload it to my Vimeo because I reached my quota this week already. haha.

haha yes I am filipino.

Thanks :-)

Aww thanks a lot. Haha good thing, someone left me a comment about hating his piercings on some other site..and I thought to myself..mmm well it's kind of about him, and for him, so I don't find it necessary to make him change how he looks. haha.

Thanks for taking the time to peep this out! :-)

Thanks a lot Gerardo. I completely agree. I feel like it's good to make something somewhat ambiguous so that people can pull out form it on their own instead of making completely empathizable relatable characters.

Thanks again :-)

Thanks, that means a lot to me. It really does. Your videos are so fun and precious (your vimeo name is fitting)...you should post more for us!

psh hun you don't need my talent, I'm sure you have plenty!!! :-)

Thanks a lot Mr. Westrop. I like your profile on Vimeo. I like nice colours and good composition a lot!


Cheers!

You nailed it Texas Gentleman!

:-) I wanted to try to make the list of things to do really subtle and simple, yet beautiful.

Aww thanks a lot man. I'm a sucker for good composition. Thank you for your comment

Thank you very much. It means a lot to me.

That's so kind of you to say. Thank you so much

Aww CAAS, thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch/comment. I hope you are doing well..welcome to Vimeo!

Thank you so much. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sometimes I come back to this and watch it to put my mind at ease.
