Love the shaving scene when he sticks the razor into his mouth and shaves with the tooth brush.

[mullickp]

bogus

[sanecapone]

I liked this film really well put together not to long at all...

[mikemullany]

bloopers make everything better.

[webshark2000]

@mikemullany I think so too. If you get a chance take a look at the bloopers at the end of my "Blueberry Muffin Tops" video.

[dogsgonewild167]

Looks like my dog! (As stupid as him also)

[webshark2000]

@dogsgonewild167 Yeah, the dog was cute, but quite a handful.

[felixthemaster1]

all i can say is wew... at the EFFECTS. nice dog sounds. nice grandma falliung FX. nice vibrant colours. nice !

[webshark2000]

@felixthemaster1 Thanks, we worked pretty hard at the effects and sound.

[RacineProductions]

dude freaking funny film man if there was 6 stars..id rate it 7!!!

[webshark2000]

@RacineProductions Thanks very much!

[thecorruptedmind]

why would he shave brush or eat?!

[webshark2000]

Let's assume that not shaving was also a fireable offense. As for the brushing and eating, well, he's a moron.

[BornToDieProductions]

The idea for a great short film is there, but I agree with the comment that it's too long. The comic timing is slightly off on most of it, but I can totally see what you're trying to do so I did find it funny...I do actually wish I'd thought of this myself already...

[alwaysposh]

Truly a good short film. However, a bit long. A lot of the same narrative elements were played several times. We knew he was late getting ready, getting breakfast, and then again when he's listening to the music. The ending was easy to guess because this was his 28th time being late, so what was different 27 times before. Also, it reminded me of a Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoon with the same concept. Still, an enjoyable film.

[fareehaagha]

yeah i thought the same too!

[webshark2000]

@alwaysposh I agree, but we had a very short amount of time to come up with the idea and write the script. We didn't go through too many rewrites. If we'd had more time we probably would have trimmed it down some. Thanks for the comment.

[webshark2000]

@alwaysposh We came up with the idea and wrote the script in less than a week, and we were pretty happy with the results given that short timespan. I'd agree that it could be a little shorter. If I had it to do all over again I'd probably cut some out of the beginning to get to the next day a little sooner.

[anmlsasldrs]

@webshark2000 Just start at 2:40 at least

[rukirockie]

Wow, so funny. Good job!

[webshark2000]

@rukirockie Thanks, glad you liked it.

[oryx032000]

Great job guys !!!!

[homero980]

10:47 ROFL

[webshark2000]

@homero980 Thank you very much.

[kjsh987]

yes perhaps look you like that can gets me funny boss

[MaryLochart]

watch office space much? Great movie though love it when granny logan gets kicked to the ground that's my favorite part!

[webshark2000]

@MaryLochart Actually, this wasn't based off of Office Space at all, but I do see some similarities.

[1xbabyface]

i luv the animated piece and were the guy looks at the picture and then his reaction ahhaha lol

[ZexkStudios]

the animation at the start was good. how you do that?

check my video out please

[webshark2000]

The opening animation was done using shapes made in Photoshop and then keyframed for motion using After Effects. Thanks for asking.

[ZexkStudios]

After effects, damn, aint got enough money, man i wish i could do things like that tho

[webshark2000]

@ZexkStudios There's some other, less expensive, animation software out there. We now use Anime Studio Pro for a lot of animation, which we were able to pick up from Tigerdirect for $30.

[irh2]

did you put real wine in that bottle he gave to the dog?

[webshark2000]

It was real beer, but it was very watered-down. The dog showed no ill-effects.

[Gangster240212]

my favourite part was the granny and when he looked at his bosses wife in the picture.

[junno1616]

nice work, me and my buddies do the same type of movies, we also use 2 panasonic DVX100B cameras, final cut pro, sountrack pro, shake and motion. its good to see other filmakers, keep up the good work. oh and check out our movies called: "And then it hit" "Some fighting Game" let me know what you think

[jdrazor951]

awesome video ... loved it ... what did u edit it with ??

[webshark2000]

If you read some of the previous comments, I go into depth about this. We used Final Cut Pro to edit it along with some effects using Photoshop and After Effects.

[TommyDeLong]

hilarious, well done :D

[Lokostyles]

Wow! Great job on this short film. DO you guys have any more? Oh yeah, what kind of cameras do you guys use? 5 outta 5 stars!

[webshark2000]

I do have a couple more shorts I'm going to post in the near future. One is a documentary about the Extreme Stunt & Driving Team based here in Florida, the other is a Discovery Channel Spoof that was shown on TV. The camera we used was a Sony PD140, if I remember correctly. I now own a Panasonic DVX100B.

[shallowshoe]

I liked it, I liked it a lot. My brother and I are about done with our short film. It's approx: 30 minutes long. How did you compress yours? I'd really like to know. PS: don't beat yourself up too much over the lighting.

[webshark2000]

Compressor is a program that comes bundled with the Final Cut Pro Studio. I know that's what I used to compress our video to upload to YouTube, but I'm unsure of the exact settings. You kind of just have to play around with the settings until you can get the best quality that YouTube will accept.

[ot1210]

Great opening! Good concept, u just need to have better lighting in some parts of the movie. Good work!

[webshark2000]

Yes, the lighting is the most major thing I would have done better if we had more time/money. Unfortunately we only had a week to put this short together from script to post production (we had about a month to edit it), so the lighting suffered. We did have some lighting (i.e. the nighttime blue look when the dog is pulling the power cord out of the wall).

[bmxleprechaun]

Not bad, I liked it. It started off kind of slow, but picket up.

What kind of compression did you use in order to make it fit on youtube?

[webshark2000]

At this point I don't remember. I know I used Compressor, but I don't remember what the settings were.

[XxBillyTheKidxX]

What program did you make this with?

[webshark2000]

We used Photoshop and After Effects to create the opening animations and the end credits. The rest of the film we edited with Final Cut Pro.

[Yakura]

Nicely done, at some points it got a bit 'easy' (points where you get distracted easy) like in his house with the dog. But that's just nothing special.

Make more!

[webshark2000]

For editing, I use Final Cut Pro 5.1, but Adobe Premiere Pro is also good. After Effects is an excellent program to learn as well, because you can do a lot of cool stuff with it (that's what we used for our opening credits on this film).

[taso1388]

Oh sorry if you ever want to take a look at some of our videos search bigntall08, I didn't realize I was on this account.

[terrencemalick9]

Excellently well made film, ditch the opening credits.

[webshark2000]

Ditch the opening credits?!? We've gotten a huge amount of positive feedback about them. I think we'll keep them.

[terrencemalick9]

Well with all due respect to the positive feedback, they're ridiculous and painfully unfunny. They're very well animated and edited, just not funny. They don't do the rest of the film justice, which IS funny.

It's your decision, of course, but I'm telling you...

[webshark2000]

That's alright, they weren't meant to be funny, just to give some foreshadowing and set the mood. Thanks for your comments!

[taso1388]

The opening credits were amazing. I'm just getting into making short films and things, I really have no expensive cameras or anything. If you watch any of my videos you can probably tell. But anyway I was just wondering if there were any programs/cameras you could turn me on to. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. This video should have alot more views. There are people out there who spent 2 minutes throwing together a piece of crap and get put on VH1.

[shallowshoe]

I have no idea what you're talking about?

[yoyo626]

awesome foley work
