I thought the film was great, but the narration was corny, overused, and simple. Even though I disliked the script, the characters, however "stock"-like, were indepth and moving. Actors were great.
Good job, however, I wouldn't say it's something new. A lot of things have been taken from László Benedek's movie The Wild One(1953) with Marlon Brando.
It's weird, this short isn't all that amazing, isn't all that special. The story's classic and has been played over and over time and time again (coming from an American... xP), but there's just something about it that's.... charming? I dunno, I just got this pleased feeling and the cliche didn't piss me off, which all cliches tend to do xD
But damn, I feel like I'm missing a more important, deeper level to this that's past the surface :P Or maybe I'm just looking into it too hard... damn.
Amazing Work. Who ever came up with that Idea of them all coming out of the Junk Yard Scrap Metal was just on pure inspiration! And the Bubble-Gum Pop! -The Useless Youth -The Royal Family -The Lancers -The Cherubs -The Catholics -The Skins -The Protectors -The Beatles -The Rolling Stones -The Kinks -The Who Ha ha! Great Stuff!
You guys really make me believe in those Disney lifelessons.. They way you incorporate them into these amazing (what's the word? "video" and "stories" is too demeaning!) ; I can feel the morals being internalized..
Wow..this was astonishing, after finishing the short i didnt realize it was 13 minutes but 3 minutes of a cinematic art pulling me in, this short i have to say is one of my most favorite, the 1960's art style was well used and the actors made it worth wild, i loved this short you guys motivate so many people.
Hey guys -- I'm Eddie O'KEEFE -- the director of the film. For those of you asking about the music, the songs (in chronological order) are: 1. Greta Morgan - Ghosts Theme 2. Smith Westerns - Tonight 3. The Useless Youth - Spooked 4. Santo and Johnny - Sleepwalk 5. Motorcycle Crash - On My Way 6. Bernard Hermann - Twilight Zone (End Theme) 7. The Keggs - To Find Out. The whole thing is available for download if you go to my website (linked to in the info for the video) and click on my blog.
@JRayMalcolm Yeah -- custom made. But the jackets wouldn't be too difficult to reproduce. Buy an old biker jacket and then find some white paint and letter stencils at a hardware store. That's what we did! The cardigans are a bit trickier. Have to hire an embroiderer.
I really liked it, I reckon you could make a feature based on this. He got shot three times and was not bothered as he was A Ghost, you saw them all come back from the dead in the scrap yard with their introduction. I love the Wanderers, would liek to see something recent like this, if you put a script together I'd like to help out. Good stuff.
Has a touch of Rebel Without A Cause about it, although I'm sure a lot of other films (West Side Story) inspired this. It's a nice short. It suffers a little by feeling more like a homage than something that can stand alone; without the cultural and cinematic references there isn't a great deal of substance, it's fairly superficial, cartoonish even (an ailment Tarantino's films sometimes suffer from). But I enjoyed it all the same. I like the understated narration, the editing and the style :)
This was fabulous. Honestly. Loved it. I adore greasers, having seen The Outsiders at a very young age, and if my life had been as I'd dreamed this would've been the story of my life.
@MrHasimir hahaha ,thanks for making me laugh lol. But your comment actually helped to warn me too. So when I saw your comment I turned down my headphones :) Thanks!
For everyone asking about the soundtrack, I'm the director, Eddie O'KEEFE. Although I can't post links in YouTube comments, if you Google "the ghosts music eddie o'keefe," you will find my blog -- The TEENAGE HEAD. There you can find two compilations of songs: music from the film and music which inspired the film. Songs not included are Smith Westerns - Weekend (the junkyard), Santo and Johnny - Sleepwalk (look out point) and The Keggs - To Find Out (rumble at drive in). Hope ya dig.
I could listen to this girl's voice forever... o.o
And I get this nagging feeling that there's a much bigger part of this that I missed in meaning, especially with the Ghosts coming from the junkyard...
Unbeliveable what people do under jealousy. Worse type of people to run into, in your life. Don't be jealous for not getting the 'person' you desire. Sometimes you just have to be happy for them and let it go.
