You in film school? Which one?

Also, what did you have to do with making this?

nvm

Couldn't afford film school. Working my way through community college. Hopefully get an internship and continue my education. Also what?

One thing I'll say about film school in general.

Don't be pressured into making more serious stuff unless you want to. Everything you make right now is going to be absolute crap and down the road you will look back and cringe at just how awful your early stuff was. I made sure some of mine were never going to see the light of day and burned that poo to the ground. The main thing is your getting it out of your system and you are learning how it all works.

So don't be afraid to have fun with it and generate the lulz.

Oic.

Get an internship where? What are you aiming for exactly?

e: also sorry for the invasiveness I'm just curious

Well I'd love to work for myself at some point but possibly an internship for a studio maybe learn under other directors, cinematographers. Also you were a film major? If so do you have any feedback for my video?

First, I'm not at all an expert and you don't have to take anything I say as the gospel. I'm guessing you just want a few simple thoughts.

You said directing and cinematography, so I'll focus on that. The intro was the part I liked the most. Good music, locations, etc. I noticed when you had two guys standing from across the room you panned from one person to the next as they each spoke. It could just be because I have a headache atm, but it's a bit nauseating. Maybe just reframe so that everyone is onscreen or stick to a shot/countershot. Same goes for the scene on the porch. Show both actors on screen if they're supposed to be talking to each other.

That's really all I got for now unless you want something more specific. I'm still learning this sh*t too.

e: The intro was my favorite part is what I meant to type.

No really thank you for the insight and yes the intro is my favourite part as well. I love no dialogue scenes in my films with only music to tell the story. I did the same thing with one of my past films.

There were several issues after it was rendering like in the beginning the faded black shots were supposed to have the other video track that was overlayed in their spot. Also just a few bad scene changes when my girlfriend was moving.

I was gonna say that you would probably be good at making non-narrative stuff and whathaveyou

Short films are harder for me and many others because I'm geared towards developing characters and other nonsense. You have to think of it as telling a short joke.

Not much back story, and every detail must be essential to the punchline or else it won't be funny. If all that makes sense.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
