- Maybe I'll design a nice logotype for my van and commission a realwork of it. Hmmmm...********
- I meant for you.
And yes, you're quite right.

I watched it once, despite seeing it posted in a great many threads here. Just once was enough for me.
Its shit as usual. Sorry to say. But its just a really lame, badly acted, ill-conceived attempt at aping The Blair Witch Project and all the derivative films that followed it.
Still, nice to just have the one thread to showcase it though eh. This way, you keep a proper record of the feedback you get from your audience. Hopefully you're taking that audience seriously when they critique your film making efforts.

Seriously - why post it so frequently in so many unrelated threads?
Are you trying to piss people off? Why bother posting at all if you're posting to rile people?
- thanks for the feedback. you got a point.********
- really devalues your workkingsteven
- thanks for the feedback. you got a point.

Lukus, he's posting it everywhere because he really really believes in the quality of his output. He has that massive self delusion we can all be susceptible at times, when we're so confident that we just can;t see how wack we actually are.
So he posts it in every thread because he's blind to the notion that it might be pissing anybody off. He truly believes everyone has to see this stuff, and the best way to achieve that is to post it everywhere.
he also believes that the negative reaction we throw back is merely haterz hatin' and that we're all probably jealous, or just used to being bitchy in an attempt to keep talented people down.
He really honestly has no idea that this stuff sucks. He can't see it. He really can't see how it sucks. To him, this stuff is fucking genius.

nice cameo

Well - it's not totally awful, but it's nothing amazing either.
To be honest, this feels like you've taken a bunch of unfinished projects; and edited them all together with a botched pastiche of the Blair Witch Project. In the absence of any decent script or screenplay, you decided to create a 'concept piece'.
The main problem is that there's no meaningful story. Sure, it seems semi-slick - you have music, it's edited and you've done a bit of post-processing .. but I think it's lacking originality.
Tell meaningful stories. Stories that people haven't heard through mainstream channels - stories that you know well.
- This Guzman. This.
If you reject all other criticism here, embrace this post.******** - i like your comment. we put a story line together. wait for the feature...********
- perhaps you should go to a film school.pango
- This Guzman. This.

I'm off to bed now, but I just thought I'd say... if you want to do something impressive or make some progress in the realm of making films, movies, shorts, videos, whatever it is you want to do, then start with a rough outline of a plot, in pen, on paper.
Picking up a camera is at the far far other end of the process, not the beginning.
- thanks for the advice. the script is finished.********
- Okay well, get the fuck on with it then and stop irritating us with badly executed 'trailers'Horp

My 2 cents
I see what you're aiming for here, but IMO (which isn't humble) this whole "this really happened" genre requires far greater submersion in the role on the part of the filmmakers to work as truly effective viral marketing. Remember how in preparation for the release of "I'm Still Here," Joaquin Phoenix went on talk shows and acted like an insane retarded person for a year, thereby tanking his career in the process? Anyone can spam a forum. But that's what I call "dedication to your art."
So anyway, in this case, we're led to believe the people making this film vanished mysteriously without a trace. And presumably you are one of these people.
So...what you're going to have to do in this case is actually vanish. Just completely disappear for about a year or so. No contacting friends, family, etc, no film-making, definitely no posting of videos on the web. Just complete, total, terrifying, radio silence.
And then when it's all over, I will be sufficiently enthusiastic to watch your film.
- Think of all the time you'll have to make more movies. i look forward to future titles such as..locustsloth
- "Can i Come Out Yet?"locustsloth
- "Is That Safe To Wipe With?"locustsloth
- "Are You Talkin' To Me, Cricket?!?!"locustsloth
- and of course "Auto-Erotic Asphyxiation on a Shoestring Budget"locustsloth

This is absolutely amateur. It looks just as a result of many bad decisions. It's not even a student's work, i mean, it does not even look as a school project, It's too lame to be an academic work.
Ugly lighting.
Bad editing.
No color adjustments.
Disastrous acting.
Overall unpleasant.Why would anyone show something so disgusting in a way so desperate? It's like getting naked, shouting and then taking a dump in the middle of the street.
- I forgot to mention: fonts, bad, disgusting choice.maquito

"It's like getting naked, shouting and then taking a dump in the middle of the street."
It reminds me of that video clip of the bloke at a festival somewhere, who's utterly naked and has the absolute smallest peanut of a penis in the world, ever. Despite this, he's really grooving on showing it to everyone even though everyone is laughing at him.
Anyone have that clip anywhere, or know which one I mean?
Its Guzman personified. There must be some kind of perverse masochistic thrill in displaying your shortcomings I think. I might film my winter manboobs and post them up on here. See if it has a cathartic effect.
- I think some police men wrestle him the the ground in the end. Anyone have that clip?Horp

- Be careful Guzman, for this is you. I know you can't tell this is you, but it is. It is definitely you.Horp
