[Blackoutz56]

Bloodydeath my dick is bout to grow in your mom

[thebranflakeschannel]

OMG, thats better than tv special effects

[Bloody8Death]

Wonderfull, I love it *-*

So the short it's about a boy that he couldn't do anything one day something beautiful grews into his and he can do another things that he couldn't do? The short it's about it? That you should wait for something grows in you?

It's amazing! ^^

[dontforgettodream9]

Thats a marvelous video... If you listen to u2 's "with or without you'' together with it, right after he rings the bell at the begining it matches perfectly !!!! Congratz on the short its one of the most stunning things I've ever seen...

[Violethill1212]

geniial..!! :D

[darkeffect1]

Wow. That was beautiful.

[ABetterYesterday]

That was the third most beautiful thing I've seen in my life.

The second most is World Builder, and the first is my life.

[CiearaAshley]

that is sooo beautiful!!!!

[Zakuro33]

To me it's not so much a change from a cripple to an angel but a representation of growing up. Going from needing your mother to help you with everything to taking off to experience the world...

there's a reason "leaving the nest" is another way to say growing up and moving out... ya know?

[VikaPerson]

i almost cried when he said, "are you okay?"

[meggie546556]

did he die?

[jsalmon]

@meggie546556 You got it.

[meggie546556]

@jsalmon :(

[MrsMittens4444]

This was amazing. You are amazing.<3

[Capaloso18]

EXCUSE ME SIR, THERE IS A PILLOW IN YOUR BACK.

[jallen1941]

That's me!!

[n6041610]

wtf..jsalmon ..but really good g.. u make me want to be a director

[Thehealth133]

Thumbs up if he should make an extended version

[HEYOUCNTDOTHT]

I thought the theme behind it was amazing. Definately made me smile. Great work man!

[gunblade464]

wow, very inspiring

[cookiekimi93]

wonderfull !!!

[melonsgurl5]

That was stunning :')

[xManBearPig11x]

i was hoping for a fail when he jumped out the window and then i was hoping he would come back home and fly into the window lmao

[endeysay]

very beautiful

[lenarkenaTHEonly]

I thought it was Beautiful!

[Smeds2008]

my mistake watch 4 miniutes thinking it was pearl jam

[funnyman2009]

you sir should be in the short film business...

[Drumric305]

that is truly incredible

[RomanovTsarina]

I truly believe what made this video is the only piece of dialouge. When he asks his mother if she was okay after what he had gone through physically is infinitely beautiful. Thank you for the video and all those who participated in it. :)

[NiewolnicyZieleni]

it's beautifull

[m1k3z0r2]

This was amazing. While, yes, it could be longer, the fact remains that, as soon as the guy wakes up and his mother helps him shower, you already feel for him. I know I did. And needless to say, I cried when he saw his wings, and I took one of those deep-breath/gasps. This was wonderful.

[318197]

Good stuff.

[colachia]

awesome!

[InfiniteAionFun]

You have real talent.

[x0xhannahbabiix0x]

this is the cutest thing on youtube.

i love it :)

xx

[jamiedonne]

i thought it was great for 6 minutes. I love that its short and succinct...

[omgeisha]

oh, that was beautiful

[snowball11]

That music video was better than the original. WAY better, the musics vibe was greatly influenced by your picture. I actually like the song now because your video lol. Well I'll stop ranting, theres too much to say when it comes to this stuff. I'm a fan when it comes to film thats why I like to be a critic :) Well anyways, best of luck to you.

[snowball11]

I loved your "kids" video, I was amazed!! I've never seen a student, or anyone below professinal level make a vid nearly as great as that one was. If you can make more videos, please do. It's a priviledge watching them. The actors you chose for these 2 vids are very good also. The girl in kids was so joyful and emotional that I felt like it was an actual group. I'm so glad I never heard that song because I was able to judge by first impression, and your video made a good one.

[snowball11]

overall I think it was great, everything was done well. The idea was very big for only 6min thats all. But I liked it a lot.

[jsalmon]

Yeah it was a class requirement that it be under 6 mins. I agree about the character though, you don't really have time to know why you should care. I hoped the short daydreaming at the window would help us to drum up some conflict and respect, but it does suffer from happening too quickly because in trying to get the cut down I could never linger on anything.

[snowball11]

yeah I figured that, thats why I didn't judge soley on that. I actually just thought to myself, okay let me judge it for the 6 min that it is, and you did really really well, I don't think someone could put the energy that you put in under this time for this theme and plot. Like you said the window was great, I also liked the melody used because it's sort of has that "thinking vibe" like it sucks you into the film. Kind of hard to explain but you know what I mean, your the one that did it lol

[snowball11]

my honest opinion..... It was too short, in order for someone to feel the sadness in a character, there has to be a point when they bond with them, thats why long movies with sad plots always seem to make people emotional. You showed us something sad, then you showed us something great, but there was no point where viewers could bond with the humpback character, it needs to be worked up.

[MaxGoRawr]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a long time.

[somethingtidal]

Oh, nevermind, I got to the credits.. haha. :D Still wonderful!!

[somethingtidal]

Who wrote the music to this? It's beautiful. The whole thing is really wonderful. :)

[nurrple]

this is so good, wow.

im an aspiring film maker and its really hard to get your work out there. i would appreciate if you checked out my videos =)

[rockerboy920]

very good.

[Segeric]

My grandfather had a bad back problem which caused him to have a hump like that. The ending is very touching, you are truly gifted in what you do, Jon.

[C0wb0yc00l]

Well, I was expecting a music video for Jeremy by Pearl Jam and I was pleasantly surprised with an amazing short film about achieving ones own freedom in the way that they themselves perceive freedom to be. My little brother was born developmentally delayed due to a pulminary collapse that happened when he was born prematurely and with the support of his family, he has this freedom every day. Thank you Mr. Salmon for your beautiful piece of Art.

[KOKAN118]

amazing

[jkennedyk]

really enjoy your stuff. great short.

[ratzo666]

I love the scene when he wakes up and he see´s the bell but he doesn´t use it. He wants to break his everyday life under one's own steam.

It´s a very nice film.

[theheinzxx]

this was beautiful:)

i love your work jsalmon

[buddyholly28]

Well that kind of offended me.

[jsalmon]

Oh no. How so?

[buddyholly28]

Actually, I think it really trivializes and makes a spectacle of people with disabilities. I sent jsalmon a longer email about after he asked why.

[fishhhface]

i love the necklace used in this...it's really pretty

[ntrockkids]

o wow that was amazzing i almost cryed!

[BeforeSunset84]

really nice : )

[AirTylerFilms]

That was so beautiful and inspiring. At first i wasn't sure what i was watching but now I really love this.

[J7mo]

something like that happens in x-men.

[drumbum40]

absolutely incredible. i love all of your videos, you have amazing talent. thank you for this.

[RattleheadX]

Excellent! Very nicely done!

[mychol]

Thank you for that... please give this little piece a chance to fly!

[Lyrelia]

Very, very interesting. What gave you the concept? It says a lot with so little.

[glory2heaven]

amazing!

[316desiflame]

[2paintedfaces]

[alifuturescream]

[Yamam79]

[sf160871]

That was absolutely amazing. Great work!!!

[RyvreRandom]

It was a great short film! But the video thumbnail gave away the ending.

[DerZween]

wow, really liked it! :-)

[Ladybella1]

Wow, that was awesome. Very well done. xo

[okcitykid]

Now this is religious, love it.

[ItsOnLikeDonkeyKongg]

i thought he was a shark-boy in the shower lol

[cairo67]

Very nice. Its so hard to find actual artistic videos on Youtube. Keep up the incredible work. Maybe work on emphasizing the angel's pain. You should apply more symbolism/emotional imagery. Love the window. Love how It shows his transformation from cripple to angel. Possibly emphasize the message (loss and how departure is a part of life.

[Fr0of]

u got the most famous director coming ur way!!!!

[bluematter08]

It does have that angular look to it doesn't it? What'd you make the wings out of? just out of professional curiosity lol. It was very good! Much better than I've done so far...

[relientk03]

i like the window. it's very...cabinet of dr. caligari-esque.

[ijhuwr]

wow simply amazing !

keep it up and waiting for more...

[Takiado]

Wow... he went on his own. This is a Genius script! I Love IT!

[kadutcuprit]

[AsylumFilmz]

[blugle11]

[funnyninja212]

really good

everything flows nicely

really really good job =D

[28880]

nice

wonderful more like.

[shonester]

Looked good. Well done.

I'm a bit confused though - what was wrong with the guy that he was bedridden? Anyone want to help me out on this?

My interpretation was he had an illness in his back and it turned into wings. Where the wings a dream or real?

[HalfPuertoRican]

He was bedridden because he was a hunchback. The enormous weight on his back prevented him from walking normally and doing daily tasks on his own. Then he decided to go in the shower on his own and then from the hump sprouted wings. Whether it was a dream of his or reality I guess is up to you to interpret.

[mosrowley]

is that wot happend to the hunchback of notre dame? swear i saw him flying over my house

[darrenrosenow81]

Genius! Very creative!!

[crazycookie66]

omg i just stumbled upon this, and it is absolutely breathtaking!

its so beautiful, and moving, i nearly teared up at the end

hehe

gj!

[hsaddam]

This would be a good red bull commercial

[chrisMsimon]

Very moving. Great actors, music and flow. Love it.

[PauloPelle14]

Great set's, great locations, great camera work, great use of music to convey emotion, great acting, great directing.

Although with the lack of dialogue some (Who lack the ability to read faces) will find it pretty boring, other than that you amaze me with your work Jon.

Good job.

[tommy25906]

omg he tunred into a

PIGEON

[RockNRapFan]

[georgesdaniel]

[EDIshames]

**yawn**

[NonNewtonianToast]

That was wonderfully done, I loved the emotion that the characters conveyed with very little actual dialogue, great job!

[jonbcheda123]

Amazing! I'm glad you didn't try and show him flying to much would have made it a bit crap, but you didnt and it was really really nice =]

[jones403]

wow, that was so moving. amazing piece.

[lildarkness92]

[partycats]

your very talented ! i look forward to seeing more from you in the future. simple, engaging, emotional and without much needing to be said. well done.

[KickAssClown]

I am astounded by the production quality of this short. The composition of characters, environment, music, and premise make for something that is all together greater than it's parts. I love the simplicity and the minimalistic approach. I hope pieces like this allow you to continue producing videos.

[Jezza0607]

ditto

[midge775]

That was good! i admit i had to close my eyes when the wings were coming out his back! looked quite painful lol keep it up xx

[hppa1]

You really have talent in making films. Given a Hollywood budget you could be one of the most prolific directors of all time. You videos are both original and entertaining.

[decoyboy101]

[xvxlisaxvx]
