For Life Or Pie - Project: Direct 2008/2009

[punkbety]

Jake the movie was sick you need to make more of thiese but make them longer

[BarbedWire324]

thanks a ton friend, if longer and better is wat you want, check out the extended directors' cut :D

watch it in HD

[PrettyMuchABigDeal]

That was really great. You guys are awesome. (I five-starred you.)

I loved the whole red-phone thing, and the ending, and.. everything! Only thing I noticed was that you stuck the gun in the back of your pants, lol. If you're carrying a gun you don't usually do that xDD

But, it was a small detail and all in all it was still good.

[BarbedWire324]

how would you know?

ms. big mob girl.....

kidding lol

thanks for the rating!

check out the HD Directors' cut!!!! Its much better

[PrettyMuchABigDeal]

yeah, that's right, I'm a big mob girl =P Haha! It's true, though. I fyou're packin' you're gonna get a holster.

I definitely will check out the directors' cut. Sounds like fun.

[BarbedWire324]

please watch it in HD

[jrobin1611]

I know plenty of people who put a gun in their back like that.

[yano1798]

Great movie! Especially now that have the bloopers up! All three are great!

[MCaparanis]

thanks buddy!

[paisleypower30]

I watched the bloopers first ha ha oh well, this was AWESOME, I was actually annoyed that he died!

[StudlyRogers]

I approve.

[JustDrew32]

nicely done..

good location too.

[BarbedWire324]

thank you friend!

[JazzyJ1213]

this is pretty amazing Jake! :)

Nice Job!

[IBeMe17]

Dude....No words.

[TheFloeShow]

this is amazing. =] good job.

[jpq357]

Way to steal a movie, jackass

QrKnhOJ-R80

[jpq357]

forgot to mention it's called "black button"

[BarbedWire324]

.....yeah we did not steal the story, its not the same.

ps where is your entry asshole?

exactly

fuck off

[jpq357]

apparently you didn't watch the "black button"

[BarbedWire324]

apparently i did and its not the same story,

hey

idea

when you get the balls to write direct and produce a short film on a budget of $50 to enter in the next Project Direct, then come talk to me.

until then keep your narrow minded amateur criticisms to yourself

k

thnx

bye

[jpq357]

how about you looking up a little something about copyright? good thing you're not big... then you would actually be held liable for copyright infringement.

[BarbedWire324]

Copied DIRECTLY from Black Button's info box:

Some people have observed a similarity in the premise of this film and an revival episode of The Twilight Zone in 1986. Please note[...]The Twilight Zone weren't the first to do it. There was a short story before that,[...]around since the 16th century (deal with the 'devil'). An almost identical premise exists in several cultures. Richard Kelly is even making a film with this premise[...]Our film is similar in premise, but different in plot[.]

[BarbedWire324]

Even if the stories are similar, there are no music, name, logo, etc. copyright infringements in this film.

Oh and as for looking shit up;

Why don't you get off your soapbox and read the info box of the very film you are defending.

I would love to see your original film that has no traces whatsoever of any previously existing story/legend/film/book

All stories have traces of inspiration.

So go on, make a short film, I hereby dare you.

Until then, stay the fuck away from my channel.

k

thx

bye

[jpq357]

there is a specific difference between "inspiration" and actually do a little research before making a film. See that's why when major movie corporation make a movie they spend a few weeks or so to make sure no part of their movie is infringing.

As for what the info in the black button stated, you continually prove my point. You haven't done a minute of research until this was mentioned. So apparently you thought you were the only one to come up with this.

[jpq357]

I don't need to make a short movie to prove shit to you. Apparently this movie sucks ass, so any attempt at a movie would turn out way more succesful than this shit.

As far as the definition of copyright, like I said, spend a minute and google "copyright" you might actually learn something.

[MCaparanis]

You are right, the film sucks ass... that's why it has nearly 2000 views, and 45 ratings giving it 4.5 stars out of 5...

Good call buddy,

Oh, and btw, look at ANY Quentin Tarantino films. They ALL have heavy influence and "homages" to many other films. Are you going to say he is a bad writer/ director?

And next, I'm going to ask you to calm the hell down... if you didn't like the film, you are welcome to express your opinion, but please refrain from flipping the fuck out.

Thank you

[jpq357]

Yea It's doing so GREAT!!! To bad it was so great that it made the top 10... :(

No but at least when Quentin Tarantino makes a film he acknowledges, from the start, that he isn't the first to come up with the stuff.

[MCaparanis]

Hahaha,

Tarantino NEVER acknowledges that his stories aren't completely his own doing... He just writes and makes it, and that is that, because he doesn't give a fuck about what people think.

Do your research

[MCaparanis]

You say that we copied directly from The "Black Button"... your an idiot... So anytime that two people people are sitting across from each other and one of those said people is a personification of something related to the afterlife it a direct copy of the black button?

For your information, sense you are so caught up with out movie, I wrote the script before seeing the "Black Button", we then saw the movie, and debating making it, but decided that since the plot differed we would...

[BarbedWire324]

god i love you mike

ha

ps. mr jqp6969, i would really rather you didnt watch my videos......

you wanna talk about unoriginal, stick to your anime bullshit

oh and everyone go to this guys page and call him mean names and tell him that he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about

[BarbedWire324]

lol thanks girl

[DearNatalieee]

anytime,boy.

[nucleargarden]

great use of colors and yeah that phone does look similar haha

[JoelLaFlamme]

Interesting concept, how long have you been filming? We have a submission too it's of the zero budget variety but I'd love you opinion, It's called "IceBreaker project direct"

[BarbedWire324]

yeah i did see that one, it wasnt bad i must say. good luck to us both, yes? :) and altogether filming took about a week

but all of the work; writing, preperations, editing, etc took about 3

[dummydoo93]

well yeah but then there is the phrase everyones a critic

[BarbedWire324]

true but a lot of hard work went into this

[againstme758]

mike, i have always loved your acting! great job.

[MCaparanis]

Thank you former NFHS student!! lol

I hope you enjoyed the video... besides acting I also wrote and directed (hopefully those aspects impressed you too)

[againstme758]

yesss yes, the other aspects did impress me also. but the comment would have been wayyy too long if i would have included every single part i enjoyed. so i thought i would emphasize my enjoyment of your acting skills. lol

[funufanis]

lol

[BigmackZach]

I am proud of you.

[MCaparanis]

Thank you good sir!

[cesca424]

hot.

[BarbedWire324]

yes we are.

i mean thank you.

[cesca424]

Well, I had to come up with a comment that no one else has already said...

my fave part is when you "die"

[egsaraname]

I rather enjoyed it.

Brilliant mate:)

good luck.

[DanimalNinja]

wow...a gun and a holy bible

[BarbedWire324]

thats actually our favorite shot of the whole thing

[DanimalNinja]

Lol

yeah that was my fav part xD

[Raddestdinoxever]

That was neat,

i really liked that(:

[Crys5736]

Very well done!

[XoAllieMarielov3]

wow, that was fantastic!

[overxagerated]

genius;)

[dummydoo93]

that had to be the stupidest thing ive ever seen

it made no sense what so ever

i admit it was good acting but the story had to cnter conflict

and btw ur car is a pos

[overxagerated]

was it meant to make sense though?! ;)

[BarbedWire324]

well with all due respect,

when i think of the biggest and most experience movie critics,

your name does not come to mind.

thanks for watching tho

:)

[hg1367750]

i really liked the beginning shots reminded me ALOT of memento (a great movie if you haven't seen it)

[BarbedWire324]

oh we have lol

thank you

[hg1367750]

So some crazy guy I think his name was jon or blairhasomethingorother idk, he told me to rewatch this video and Im glad I did. If i could take off my awesome pants and put on my short film critic skirt It really is excellent, a good length, and as I mentioned the angles are phenomenal. Its a good mix of seriousness and random like the quality of the office or arrested development. You should be really proud of this!

[BarbedWire324]

that is quite a compliment thank you sir!

be sure to vote for us if we make the top ten!

[hg1367750]

well you're welcome but...

:( i've been called ma'am before but never sir

[illneverturnbacktime]

Wow! I liked it, very good acting and very atmospheric beginning

[MeShellWolfy]

heyyyy that was pretty great. i like all the angles and it flowed pretty well.

[juliaalynnn10]

soooo good!

nice job :]

[cynthialynnn]

great job jake and crew:)

[browneyedbecca]

"to be, or not to be: that is the question:

whether 'tis nobler in the mind to live or to eat pie...hmmmmm,"

pondered david, the stone cold fox.

[Nickspov]

That was great Jake, you really are good at making films. I liked this a lot, the story flowed great and the plot was relateable to other movies but really unique.

[honestkyle]

That was great. I was really on my toes with that. Mike, what are you doing smoking. Do I need to tell your mother?

[MCaparanis]

I refused to inhale... so its all good, lol

"mother" doesn't need to know!!!!

[Alex7000]

Nicely done. That opening was captivating.

[l0nelykitty]

good work....well worth the watch :)

[mrnotcool77]

very nice sir. i enjoyed it very much cant wait for the next one. hope to get one of ur movies from work at blockbuster.

[RufioJJ]

whoever did director of photography did well.

eh you were great as well.

critically the antagonist was a little pushy on his lines/aka not as natural as it should have been

[MCaparanis]

I am glad to see that you enjoyed my cinematography

[RufioJJ]

well it was well thought through. something a little more fresh then compared to the vlogging-induced community.

thanks dude

[MCaparanis]

No friend,

... thank you!

[MCaparanis]

You know Jake, you and I... we make a slightly above mediocre 5 minute short film... What you do think?

[BarbedWire324]

i mean i guess it was ok

[xXxSanahxXx]

That was rad.

But I must admit, I got sad when you died, Jake. :(

[iluvpiggypoo0713]

that was really cool!

*claps*

[Alousius01]

Good Job....

[BarbedWire324]

thank you sir. and you are an expert on good videos. remember when we made the video at the townhouses ha

[xsonnyloverx]

that was really good.

great job.

<3

[HiImJellyBean]

[blairheir721]
