"F.A.C.E." (2008:Rated NFN)

[darkheartcavelier]

reminds me a of Cabaret Voltaire

[99Saints]

You started off ok, but then i got really bored about two minutes in . . .meh . . . 

[AlicexMarilyn]

You're not even looking.

[Scofield749]

I love Full House!

[Tyranus1]

3:29 has to be one of my favorite parts. "Put the makeup on in the dark, and it will be as imperfect as my face."

[sxcdudeson]

The pain will never FaCE me,

I am UNEveN, noW we DiE!

[YAMIYAMIRUSH]

This is wonderful and brought mixed reactions. I can't explain it any further then that, but I enjoyed watching this.

[glassXmoon]

EPIC! <3

[Tyranus1]

truly amazing

[Bleenderhead]

This is art?

[ABRAHAMBVARGAS]

I need more F.A.C.E.!

[Thewarrior1223]

Hmm i feel like this would be the personification of obsession of beauty and enslavement that it brings.

[harrycabage]

am i going to die?

[jebediahstrong]

Wat.

[TheAbsintheReviewNet]

Don't listen to the jealous morons, this is some good shit.

[gerardz101]

WHEN I SEE YOUR FAAAAAAAYYYCEE.

[imeanitsfine]

i watched this for a class project, so i watched it all the way through. otherwise, i don't know if i would've watched the whole thing solely because it's dark. i like some of the ideas in it such as the whole idea of the girl "laughing at me behind your mask" because i think a lot of people could identify with that. it's intriguing and creative and interesting, but i don't want to watch it again because it's dark and makes me saddd

[paarahful]

Anyone else laugh when the teddybear was slapping that girl? lol

[oPiLoTzz]

You know i did stare at this with a blank face but it was weird because i felt like the video had several points being made and in a somewhat important way great video.

[piepie00000]

3 words, Bee You Tee Ful. well that was four but whatever! I WANT YO FACE!!!

[CripShat27]

"Every mistake, I feel. I put the makeup on in the dark, so when the lights come on, the makeup is as imperfect as my FACE. And together we go hand in hand, out the front door, into the real world of monsters."

OMFG. I love that line!! Something about it is just so, beautifully depressing. 

[maddoggo2]

I gotta say.... this is probably one of the best, if not the best, video i've seen so far. I'm not really sure what you would consider to be a "normal person" although in my point of view i don't really consider myself as a "normal person"... as for the video i think it fits my description as grotesquely beautiful... or something like that =P

[DeusDeceptor33]

This, my friends, is evolution.

[glassXmoon]

I like your style of scary videos!!

I want you to make more videos like this! ^_^

I LUV U

[pinkgod85]

what kind of drugs you take ?

[toddtrimms]

@pinkgod85 You know not everyone who has a weird open mind doesnt have to take drugs there is a thing called IMAGINATION.

[Haruverse]

I respect your filming skills for this, but I think that's just about the most disturbing thing I've ever seen.

[marokokun]

this is soooooooooooo strange O-o

[lexiiURiNE]

i love your videos every since one of them! i would hope to one day be an awesome film maker like you!

thanks for being such an inspiration for me!

[frankthehead]

NFN? no you mean just for people who have the cultural ignorance to think this is different from the stuff that is churned out from art and film school every year

i feel obliged to criticise it just on the premise you alienate your audience from the start put yourself on a pedestal and denying any criticism. NFN my arse

[mdotstrange]

@frankthehead This is churned out from art and film school every year? Things just like this? Great! post some links please I would like to watch them ^ ^

Those who are culturally "ignorant" as you say... perhaps THEY are the ones who DO NOT think this is different from what is churned out from art school every year?

[kmsabia]

@mdotstrange

your description of the video did sound a bit narcissistic. there is a lot dark art that focuses on technology, alienation is a common theme as well. but good job man

[mdotstrange]

@kmsabia A "narcissistic" description? 0_0 Ok... well please send me some links to works just like FACE and I will retract my description that seems to bother people haha... So this is the same as "dark art" with themes of technology, alienation? So ummm this drawing I did of a woman is the same as the Mona Lisa? I mean its a painting and has a woman in it? Similar context, similar theme so its the same eh? Thanks for watching but I'm no art student looking for critiques ^ ^ Love it or hate it.

[Aadenmyboy4]

@frankthehead You seem to be the most normal for not realizing that this video is great. You are not full accessing all of your senses when watching this video, that is why you cannot fathom the brilliance of this video. You speak of cultural ignorance, any yet you are ignorant yourself of what you criticize. May your life be fulfilling while you only view the world with your limited senses, your inability to view from more than one angle will inhibit your full potential.

[crash426mnb]

@frankthehead thanks to youtubes character limit my message became cut off so just know i said a lot of things that just tore you a new one. in short however, your an idiot and need to get over yourself. feel free to criticize and do so without fear of being shot down just actually think before you speak.

[frankthehead]

@crash426mnb leave a selection of your 'tearing new one's' on my wall. if you run out of space, pleae feel free to spill over into a new comment ;-)

[AmazingXzen]

Man, this is one of my favorite shorts ever made, even though it makes me sorta cringe every time I watch it. ^ ^

But when I showed it to a couple of my uncles, when they heard the "take my face away," they started to crack up so hard, I had to pause the vid until they calmed down... lol. I mean, when I hear it, I don't laugh, but if I read it, then I start to laugh. Tee hee.

[ninjacobra]

Amazing!

[lunagirl15]

Epic work

[DarkDevaztation]

o i get it...no i dont

[fancynot]

[BobDole2isback]

[randomguy983]

To be honest,I got a little bored during.I guess we all have our own perseptions on what is disturbing;but,I still give it five stars.

[neobludragon]

this is great for the stupid holiday coming up.

[Zwickel]

awesome

[readifer]

the part with the doll face shaking in the camera reminds me of a scene from paprika

[bloodyweld]

I don't know why but this kind of video makes me feel so peaceful. I can watch it and hear these sounds for hours.

[neobludragon]

"I knew she was laughing"

[Pingpong513]

[DRO32]

I feel like murdering people now. Thank you for the inspiration lol

[veladaminimal]

what the fucking fuck? xD

[ozzybwild]

dear mdot.

please get "emmm" out again, and let him inspire you.

this is like "soft porn", whilst the people appreciating your work want to see some hardcore stuff.

please, "intense some more".

(add more electro beats, more tension and more.. MOAR!)

i know you can.

dears oz - trolling since '06.

ps: same goes for "we are the strange". add that fucking bit of "BOOM - publicity / mass medial insanity" and you got it.

hope you get what i mean.. ozzybwild, a truly mental fuckup.

[Othaeg]

Great stuff.

[FakuraTarunk]

Wow this must be the most scary shit I've ever seen xD

[xXxW0LFxXx]

its a sick mind behind internet. but its sad. y-y

[x1xblankxx2]

WTF....

[Diablocazador]

[Xpsychedelic60sX]

[maulsoleu]

Only for creatures that speak to no one...awesome.

[Murkrust]

i... kinda felt conected with the whole interwebz privacy and totemisation of your own self with nicks or other kind of stuff to show the reality of yourself on a universe where anything is posible.

photo, sound and experience editing = more real than reality

[Silenthunter38]

quit the drugs there's nothin mo real then the reality

[digitalbeat]

learn to write first

[Consumerofknowledge]

This iz....soooo.......cosmically erradic and....I don't know what to say. I like it!

[FinallyFeelFree]

I cannot wait no longer for this movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Strange for LIFE baby

[FinallyFeelFree]

Heart String Marionette that is...

[DaynaE]

Dude, ur aMAzing! Ur the 1 person alive who cud direct a "killer7" movie, and do it justice:P If u have the chance to co-direct it wit Suda 51, JUMP AT IT!!!:D

[magic585]

I think this is growing on me... last year I watched it and was just kind of confused... now i think its totally intense! Whaddya think, sign of growing maturity, descent into insanity, increasing open-mindedness, creativity? No idea. GREAT JOB THOUGH!

[fingerminger]

Nice effects.

[fingerminger]

Nice!

[Luftbubblan]

All your work is very well done.

If i ever get famous with music id like you to produce my music video :D

Its simply amazing

[jubjubxgamepro3]

i feel cold now -_-

[crash426mnb]

every time i watch this i think i get it more and more. to me this is simply the emotions of insecurity and the need for companionship. this also keys into the awkwardness some people feel around other people and how when all of these ideas are taken to an extreme. that extreme being insanity and obsesivness.

side note i do like your little song take my face away... cant get it out of my head lol

[flavaflav7466]

Holy shit. What a head trip. I love it.

[zmelon]

Fan-fucking-tastic!!! Reminds me of an "Android Lust" music video, but longer.... :-)

[blaktearskeepfallin]

what video? =] i like them

[elvarwinston]

Loved the strong imagery,you are a true artist keep up the good work!

[Nicetry75]

lmao @ the quote in the description! XD

[Freddieboy44]

You are nuts, but I like it. Do it again...please?

I'm watching.

[BelenGoth]

Good job!!!

I loved Lila's part, her voice is incredible!

Sounded like an angel in the middle of all that madness and chaos...

[SleepingSeaweed]

Wow. Cool video. Didn't really like the teddy bear though.

[KageLQ]

Watching it again, I feel the need to reiterate that I really love it. Love the dialogue, love the imagery. The techniques used are amazing. The voice distortions fit so well with the imagery. There's so much to read into about the characters as well.

This reminds me a bit of an episode of Lain where a guy was trying to join the Knights.

[KageLQ]

I love it.

[assassinatrix]

it makes me feel happy inside

[rosyyaoi2]

wow...tis strange...

[genreconfusedboy62]

oops I meant beyond weird not beyond strange

[Foagik]

I hope there are more like you MDotStrange.

You beat Edmund, by alot.

[xDxRabbitx]

I love this video.

What I think the video means is that with the internet, you can never know what a person truly is. Also, you can never know who someone in your life is. The paranoia can turn you into a monster.

Also, if you ever do another one, let me know. I would love to be involved.

[meranime321]

I freaking love this video.

You are epicness mdotstrange!

We Are The Strange wins.

Oh yeah, and I think you'd be happy to know this, one of my friends is terrified of this video.

(I know, I'm being such a n00b XD)

[mydarkfuture]

Man that was certainly ... something.

Kinda reminds me of Tetsuo The Iron Man, in that I've never seen anything quite like it, and that it cannot be explained to some one that has yet to see it.

I still haven't forgiven you for planting the seed that lead me to watch that film.

[fatherfabric]

"This is RAW media, not predigested, pasteurized, topical crap."

this ain't no easy-back-oven. This is lumpy stuff. Please take may face away but don't you grow one m-dot.

Mdot, Please never grow a face.

[PyonBoy]

I've waited so long for a chance to sit down and watch this and I will say that it was worth the wait.

Yet again you prove your mastery of the obscure art of making multiple statements for those hungry for something...strange!

[KaeFive]

Hehehe... cool...

[Zakuii2]

mmmm, i love the sudo religous ultra psychologic messaging. i wonder if it was M dot or the spirits within him who speake out his hands.

[heretickairo]

this is beyond weird.. love it.

[genreconfusedboy62]

you're right this IS beyond strange some could even call it...STRANGE

[drknsqueen]

WOW! thank you for sharing this. i loved it:)

[therealside]

crazy brilliant and awesome, 3:15-5:12 especially.

Thanx M for daring to make what the majority of sheople won't get

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." ~ Ghandi

[sexybeastage]

Mr. Dot, I am familiar with, and do enjoy some of your work. You are quite the interesting man. I just have one question. What DO you do as a day job?

[mdotstrange]

My business card says "Professional Weird0" ^ ^ So I make people feel uncomfortable for a living... Its odd that there are people out there that would pay me to do such a thing...and also its more of a night job.

[sexybeastage]

Well thank you for clearing up some very clouded questions. Lol.

[magicalgoats]

Good stuff, my favourite part is from 5:00 to 7:00.

[jimjamjoguy]

this piece of film is...... cant explain it. I understand what you were going for and it stuck out to me before I had read the synopsis. both disturbing and thought provoking. well done

[jarathperks]

mdotstrange, thank you for creating such a powerful piece of moving art.

I am not a stuck up film snob, I am a experimental/surrealist film maker and have recently removed my major recent piece from youtube due to the same horde of questioning, spoon fed zombies.

I loved this piece, I have read into it in many different factor and this has increased my enjoyment of it.

why does a topic need to be laid down?

keep it up. Its all worth it my friend.

Jarath.

[timdrage]

Nice!

[redchili23]

To me, This means alot and nothing at the same time.

A man who can make such emotions fluctuate inside me in such distortion is a great man to me.

You, Mdotstrange, have achieved greatness in my books.

[YamiGigaPhil]

MDOT I think you should make some screamers, I always except it but it never happens.

Make me a screamer please?

[kingjing]

Well shit. I just HAD to watch this at two in the morning, didn't I...

Amazing work, M. I like how the individual(s?) in the story have no real identity aside from what the audience can guess. Who/what is FACE? Is he/she/it a person? A spirit? A God? Devil? A FACEbook robot monster with jell-o for feet? Everybody gets a fair guess, and that's why I love it.

[MainstreamMurder]

ಠ_ಠ

[DeadPianoPlayer]

You're a true fucking inspiration. KNOW THAT!

[youble]

hey do you think you could like do a video explaining this?

because i think this is amazing...

but i still have no idea what its about xD

[mdotstrange]

I don't know what its about either ^ ^ Its just fun to let your mind float around and discover your own meaning through watching it meh thinks.

[magic585]

You may be making something meaningful here, by making a film be about random things that float through your head. Or you may not. It may be a waste of time. Could you please tell me, either in the form of video response or comment-reply, exactly why this method is meaningful? And don't just say it comes from the subconscious. That doesn't necessarily make it meaningful. I want you to prove to me that this technique adds something to your art, and is not just a result of laziness.

[mdotstrange]

I have nothing to prove to anyone but myself.... the synopsis is in the video info... If it means nothing to you...then it is not meaningful to you... it clearly has meaning to other people if you look through the comments... I'm not going to ruin it by telling you my "meaning" I will make the food but I will not chew and swallow it for you like the mainstream media does. This is RAW media, not predigested, pasteurized, topical crap.

[magic585]

Well, I can respect that, but for the sake of an the interesting conversation that will hopefully result:

Do you have a meaning for this film that you refuse to tell the public because it would destroy the film's integrity, or is this film made from random things that float through your mind?

Also, I don't think it's fair to call all films with messages "predigested, pasteurized, topical crap". Films that clearly push a message can actually change the world for the better (Ex: Al Gore).

[SliceyPete]

Man your films are just so amazing, From the music to the imagery. Your so unique and its a breath of fresh air to thinking people and I hope to all.

[mdotstrange]

Thanks! ^ ^ I always try to make unique stuff for you all!

[stuffedk]

SINISTEEERRRR... I really love the dark atmosphere, but I think it needs some kind of plot or message. I mean pretty pictures are nice to look at and all, but without substance it will be only that, pretty pictures. Keep it up the good work!

[mdotstrange]

Just because YOU do not understand it that doesn't mean there is no message... Look through these comments..there are some people who clearly get a message from this... again just because you are unable to see something it does not mean it is not there... and if you are referring to "plot" as it applies to a traditional narrative film... I am not interested in that at all...its BORING... instead I make cyphers like this for the people out there who demand more than the mainstream gives them.

[stuffedk]

Hey man, I just wanted to give you my first impression of it. Ok if you say you have a message ofc it is so. And you dont have to listen to what I want I'm just telling you anyway because I loved WE ARE THE STRANGE :)

[mdotstrange]

Oks ^ ^ Well saying it "needs a message" is a lot different than saying "I didn't get the message" thats all... thats all I wanted to clear up! Thanks for watching! And my next big movie won't be as obscure as this... it has a plot whereas this does not as its like...art ^ ^ I guess I should have called this a "short art" to differentiate it ^ ^
