Kill or be Killed (A short film)

[lilqtlexi92]

ANDREW ROTH!!!!!!! He's awesome!!! Nice vid!

[ShadowManV3]

I liked this one, well shot. Good color correction. Acting was good and so was the dialogue was good. One question why dont you upload these in HD? It would look way better. Cuz i know your camera is HD. If i had to rate this i would give you a 7.5

[blinky500]

@ShadowManV3 i have limited uploading options. plus if people wanna see them in hd, they can always buy a dvd off my site. the film may be free, but the resolution is limited.

[ShadowManV3]

@blinky500 Are you not a partner on Youtube? Can you only post HD Vids if your a partner? Or What? Cuz i would like to watch ur stuff in HD on here

[King2123]

@DebbieDPhilly I can take the criticism, I appreciate your honesty. But you need to realize something, my comments that were left were nothing derogatory at all. I never said things such as "this sucks" or "wtf was this?" I simply stated my thoughts, something you are SUPPOSED to do on other peoples videos because you, THE VIEWER, are watching them and you develop your own opinion about that video. You decided to pretty much attack me because of what was said when what was said wasnt even bad.

[PacoPapo]

@King2123 Wow... Debbie is probably my biggest fan and fans get defensive about the films/music/people that they are really into. This business is tough and not everybody will like you. That's why I have developed a thick skin...

[King2123]

@PacoPapo Yeah it is. I am trying to break in and its rough. I also am proud at the fact that I too developed thick skin. But it was just my opinion on the video, if people freak out over an opinion it just shows their inexperience.

[PacoPapo]

@King2123 The girl who commented, Debbie, is not an actor so it has nothing to do with experience in the entertainment business. As I said, she's been a huge supporter of my work and is a fan of mine. Fans will step in and defend actors when someone bashes them or their work. Looks like she read what you wrote about me, checked out your channel and replied...

I personally wasn't offended by what you wrote. As I said, I don't expect that everyone will like me or my work.

[King2123]

@PacoPapo Well my comments to begin with were not rude or at least were not meant to be that way. I just stated my honest opinion on your performance in this particular video. I dont dislike your acting at all, I thought you were great as Freddy Krueger. I guess it was just this performance, doesnt mean I dont like your acting.

[DebbieDPhilly]

Acting, cinematography, story are all BRILLIANT!!! I loved the first one too!

[spaceonful]

i like the blonde actress, very natural. what is her accent? How much was the budget, this is a great short film! good job, hitman is good looking

[blinky500]

@spaceonful our budget was ZERO dollars. and yes, liana is from australia.

[yeahdude7]

@blinky500 It's never ZERO dollars when making a movie. You always have to pay for something, dinner, lunch, transportation etc.

[blinky500]

@yeahdude7 lunch was free. i drove to the restaurant myself. like i said i didnt pay for anything.

[yeahdude7]

@blinky500 If you drove to the restaurant you had to pay for gas.

[blinky500]

@yeahdude7 no, i was driven as a favor by someone else.

[NightBeast12]

It was really good. It's just like the other "Kill or be Killed" one expcet it had americans and it was in New York City.

[MikeMontana7]

Time for a sequel!!!

[blinky500]

@MikeMontana7 not really a lot of wiggle room. there wont be any shoot outs. he's dead.

[King2123]

the guy who played the hitman was a very good actor, the other guy buying him lunch was ok...

[Jbauerfan08]

Man this was great, it had everything a good film needs. Where in NYC do you usually make your movies because I'm interested in maybe being in one, I live on Long ISland. This was awesome

[blinky500]

@Jbauerfan08 the resturant was in amityville and the exteriors were in times square and the east village

[Jbauerfan08]

@blinky500 Wow I only live about 15 minutes from Amityville. Again great work dude

[spaceonful]

@blinky500 dude sweet are you filming on long island again?

[spaceonful]

@blinky500 dude sweet are you filming on long island again?

[afroman255]

dude can you ever try to make a movie that is like first person view like paranormal activity?

[blinky500]

@afroman255 i havent been interested in doing so, yet.

[myasshole69]

Amazingly well made.

[ChromeGhost0219]

good job

[ToughSpots]

Nice work... good flow and solid acting. great teamwork....

[eyebhdr]

Great job all around! Shouts to Andrew and Liana! Awesome guys!

[LightsCameraAaron]

Wow, that was interesting. I really liked the original as well, but this seemed more professional. It felt like an espionage thriller. Good job on both this one and the original. =-)

[SoraKirin]

Could you please post the original so we have a comparison

[blinky500]

@SoraKirin i did. in 2005. search it.

[SoraKirin]

@blinky500 ah ok didn't know thanks

[MrLookatmenow]

sorry to say i liked the older one you made better then this one but this one has a better ending.

[Giles231987]

Probably a stupid question but, have you ever thought about making full length films, and if so, any idea when you might go for it?

[blinky500]

@Giles231987 i made one back in 2007. i would still be making them if i had money. money is my biggest obstacle. so yeah, as soon as i get cash, i will make another feature.

[DesMuttYS]

@Giles231987 It's called Methodic and is available on Amazon. If you like the original Halloween movie, you should like it as well.

[Stud102]

I would love to be in one of our films Blinky!

[blinky500]

@Stud102 come to nyc and be a good actor.

[Alfey]

the angel of the gun and his head, where he wanted to kill his self, the bullet would go straight out trough his nose.

[blinky500]

@Alfey so.

[jokerwillwin]

Solid acting and cinematography bruh

[King2123]

@jokerwillwin well the hitman was really good, the other guy was ok but it just seemed forced and like he was trying too hard to where it came off unnatural.

[DebbieDPhilly]

@King2123

Everyone in Kill or Be Killed was fantastic.

To me unnatural is you shooting a bunch of poor reenactments and badly copying what other actors have done instead of creating your own character. You're being a mimic, not being an actor. That's my opinion.

[King2123]

@DebbieDPhilly thats all fine and dandy but last time I checked...nobody asked for your opinion.

[DebbieDPhilly]

@King2123

And yet, you clearly think that everyone deserves to be graced by YOUR opinion.

Obviously you can dish out the criticism, but are unable to take it yourself.

[jmorrison08]

This was so brilliant! The acting was really amazing!

[PacoPapo]

@jmorrison08

THANKS! I'm sure I can speak for Andrew and say that we both appreciate that...

[alexbaxthedarkside]

Wow Blinky i love the acting here, watching them eat is making me Hungry, what they were having looks good. Excellent excellent acting and music, wonderful work!! :)

[PacoPapo]

@alexbaxthedarkside

Thanks for the comments on the acting. Andrew and I really enjoyed making this film with Chris...

[MultiMole1]

i love that

you missed out they make good coffee lol

[bigfootiscool]

Actually really good, but I kind of expected that. Can you help me out? Whats the cheapest camera that you would recommend for films like yours and what editing program do you use? Before answering, is it going to blow my wallet to shreds?

[blinky500]

@bigfootiscool yes. i shoot on a sony hdfx1 which at the time cost 3k. the canon sd5 is about 4-5k but worth it. i wish i had one.

[bigfootiscool]

@blinky500 lol Thanks, thats actually not as bad as what I was expecting.

[mwong666]

Did you actually pay the restaurant to film there?

[blinky500]

@mwong666 no we got permission.

[Nolus20]

Strange enough this reminds me of Heat

[blinky500]

@Nolus20 heat was a big inspiration for this film, so yeah. good eye.
