You are very talented, I will definitely keep an eye out for your movies in future. Just for the record, I see myself as that guy - the "best friend". Except in the end, I never got the girl (as of a few weeks ago). That's the beauty about something like this - your creativity - relates to someone (like me) in reality. I don't see your characters, I see me and her. Well done, I have no doubt you will succeed.
Never mind N3DChannel and ShunsFilms crit, they're not famous either and unless you agree (that editing was a bit "off" or that the "acting was weak and dialogue rushed") then you can work on those things if you value their opinion. Bottom line to me (as a viewer with no technical knowledge of film making) is that you did a sterling job, held my attention, engaged me with the characters and I could relate it to my life. In that sense if you think about it, their opinion is bull ;-)
I stopped watching after 6mins but very well put together man, colour grading was awesome. The Male actors performance was great. Editing was abit off. Directing was fine.
i liked the whole thing except the title. the story and EVERYTHING else was awesome, but that title-- i think just a simpler title would have been better.
Who was the editor because the story had some serious continuity issues, but the story was incredible and the actors were great. Again the only critic I have is that it could use some better editing.
@AqeelTV you directed the actors incredibly, but some stuff were misunderstood like the first time i saw it i had trouble figuring out in some scenes if they were in the past or the present, I also saw some continuity issues to but nothing to greatly affect the overall presentation. Good Job one question how many people were working with you in the film?
@carlosandresmedrano It was intentional to have it out of order and confusing, for the audience to piece it together (the "pieces" in Shattered Pieces) but yeah, even I had to go over it a few times to understand it myself, and I wrote it! :D
The crew were basically all those in the credits. We shot over four days, and kept it small, about 10-12 I think.
Post-Production was it's own set of people (i.e. Sound, Music, editing). A lot of hard-work from everybody involved. :)
@carlosandresmedrano You can't just assume that you'll understand and know everything after watching a good quality short film once.. It kind of defeats the purpose of a short film.
Any continuity wouldn't have to do with editing; the colour correction was spot on in portraying different moods and scenes. Also, the cuts between shots were unnoticeable which is what you want.
I found the acting was the weakest point and that the dialogue was rushed at times.
"It is not the greatest story ever told, actually it's probably down there as one of the worst" Now that my friend is a lie! :P In all honesty I'd so go see this on the big screen! Put the excellent cinematography, awesome colour grading, great sound and all the micro/macro elements aside... and mate, you have one damn good story!
@adeelhaseeb I was reading that first bit, and my heart was sinking. Then I realised you were quoting me! Thank you for your kind words! I was really lucky to have such an amazing cast and crew.
That was great. I expected it at first to be just a normal post-apocalyptic movie. but then you added in character, a great plot, and good actors etc... definitely subscribe worthy
If I could change one thing it would be the music definitely. Other than that I thought it was awesome. The direction, the acting, the plot, all greatness.
This is fantastic! I was sucked in from the first moment and was completely captured until the last. It was just by chance that I found it and I'm glad I did.
@TheTerraa Up until yesterday, I thought my work sucked. Thanks to you and so many others that have given such positive comments, I feel like so much more happy and creative again. Thank you soooo much.
i do think its kinda epic that u didn't turn him into a world saving hero... as people who make these sorta things do, this was.. immense, and deserves better than youtube :)
@RKGftw That's really kind of you. I guess 15 minutes in YouTube time is like 100 years. Thank you for taking your time to watch it. Hopefully it didn't feel like 100 years to you. :)
Aqeel, I've *finally* had a chance to watch this - it's incredible! I loved it, you are so talented and I'm proud to call you my friend. I was shouting MAKE OUT during a lot of the film. but that's just me.

@carlosandresmedrano Thanks for watching and your comments. What about the editing do you think needs improving?
It's probably my poor writing and directing; not the editing.

This story was the only one that seriously hit me... I've never felt strong emotion towards a film but this one.
The emotion, speeches, music, scenes, and plot, all work perfectly together.
This having 7 thousand views is just wrong. It needs to be spread around to people, this NEEDS to be seen.
Well done on a great piece of work.
PS: 15 Minutes only feels like a hundred years when it is not creative, slow, and not interesting. This is none of those things :)
