[InPrismTails]

Nice!

What export settings/program did you use may i ask?

[booomfilmsCOM]

Wonderfull 10 minuts!

[lilyvanillyy]

BEAUTIFUL

[Vrbaski]

really dig it, but one thing that bothered me, when you're washing your hand, half the time you have a bracelet and the other half you don't lol. details

[Ruttikers]

awesome video dude. Really good. It deserves more attention

[oromisszane]

i would have liked it better if it ended on a note more like he would cope with his ocd with her by his side rather than her making his ocd go away; just seemed a bit unrealistic

[JAEWILLZTV]

thats whats im talmbout!!!! i love films where the loner gets the girl for being himself..... INCREDIBLE FILMS THOUGH MAN.... IM A FAN NOW I CANT LEAVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!

[IHeartArtProductions]

Are you from fairfield? btw the vid is really nice

[skategriggs]

I am, and thanks.

[TangyZizzle666]

awesome...

[Aitosha]

I only watched your longboarding vids till today. Man, that was just mad. Great work you did there. I see great potential in you, young Skywalker.

At first I wasn't really sure, if the choice of actores was good or bad, but I think in the way I maybe thought they wouldn't fit, they were suited perfectyl.

Keep up your good work, I would love to see more of you.

Also props for the lightning!

[ChaseGrund]

I have watched this about 4 times already and I'm still amazed every time.

[yurtyybomb]

I like the message. He prepared "perfectly" to meet Lily, but on the day where everything goes wrong he ends up meeting her and walking with her. I really liked the message, I can identify with it greatly.

Dialogue was weak, but not too bad. I liked it a lot overall.

[420concretesurfer]

you have an amazing talent man, keep up the great work my friend.

[brettsk8]

Mr. Griggs... that was amazing my friend.. I really do believe that this is one of the best little shorts ive seen in awhile.. great work

[14Austin95]

where can i download the songs? i really liked them

[cooooook123]

Major props to you man!

[ChaseGrund]

That was phenomenal.

[omolomo789]

mad OCD

[japers1234]

good job. i just started my career path to filmmaking. this is very inspring. what kind of camera do you recommend in the $1000- $1400 range. the mini dv they let me rent out at school is just ok to work with and i have some extra cash to spend on a camera of my own.

[laxlongboardlove]

amazing!!!!!! i love ur skating too hahaha, i was watchin all of ur longboarding videos, and i really was captured thrpugh the whole thing!!! excelent, 5 stars for sure!!!!!

[trevsion]

really great. the dialogue was a little weak, but everything else was really super. well done. five stars

[brett1037]

I am in shock so this is all shot with a dvx with your homemade 35 mm adapter!!!?

[tietie1424]

Wow dude! Im just starting to get into filming short films, I dont have much of a chance here, im on a navy base right now, im putting one up just to try out my new HV20. any suggestions? like what editing program you use? I Have sony vegas 8.

[drock2life]

great film audio was awsome. i just got a super dof adapter for my camera i cant wait to use it in school

[thehouseofnothing]

Great video!

Good story, good film angles, and really good editing (the film look, the music, everything)

I'm looking forward to start filming (i'm an amateur photographer)

[jtsoccer14]

amazing

[kaaprotoni]

Wow, that was just beautiful! Good man!

[RicoPProductions]

Nice video =)

[ozziexxx]

just one word, AMAZING

[gonefilming]

wow, this was seriously amazing.

I'm still in shock of how so well done this piece was.

I've worked with 35 mm adapters also and you put great use to what you can do with it. awesome shit dude

[thenewkasanova]

That was absolutely amazing. I'm going to the Academy next year, you've made me both very excited and intimidated - this was a terrific film.

[skategriggs]

Thanks so much!

Are you going to interlochen this coming year? (2009-2010)

I will be there this coming year as a senior, looking forward to meeting you if that is the case!

[thenewkasanova]

Yeah, I'm going to be a Junior there in the fall. I'm very excited.

[skategriggs]

Thats awesome! congrats!

It is an amazing school, you will love it.

I look forward to meeting you! this is going to a great year!!!!

[Jaymietube]

GEEK

[slashcamp]

Real great short film love to know the names and artists of the music

[skategriggs]

Look in the credits....

Orr you can look at the film information on the side....

or look two comments below you...

is it that hard?

[nivalsdivad]

what is the song in the credits

[skategriggs]

not to be a mean or anything, but the song name is in the credits lol.

But fyi, its "ask the dust" by Korey Dane

[nivalsdivad]

where can i find his music to download, i cant seem to find it

[skategriggs]

his myspace is the only place. Or by contacting him... he's unlabeled so good luck

[grindking313]

@skategriggs I looked in the credits for the first song that plays when he's doing his morning routine, "The pressures of New York City" and I can't find it anywhere. I know you get a lot of questions about this stuff but this is really important to me and I just love you're channel!

[chriscommissomusic]

You've got some serious directorial chops my friend! Subbing. :)

[Onetruescotty]

Awesome.

[willrennie007]

cool vid bud

[davistruslow]

just saying. after he puts the roses outside and come back in through the door... the roses are back on the window sill.

[skategriggs]

uhh, no they're not, i guess it could seem like that, but they're really outside, but you can just see them through the window.

[shilpinator]

awesomeeeeeee!

[filmer247]

the perfectionist part reminds me of the movie as good as it gets...good film :)

[BabyTumbler]

[BabyTumbler]

[andyizfilming]

[skategriggs]

Yes, look in the video info

[OlympiaLongboarding]

when I started watching this I didn't think I wasn't going to sit through the whole thing. But I did, and it was great

[OlivierBaa]

Ahaha same here, i nver tought that i would watch it till the end

[Sirdoman]

[blindskater2490]

[theperksofbeingfaiq]

Good work man. Will be looking out for you in another 10 to 8 years. 17 right? unfuckingbelievable.

[cephalopoder]

Awesome, you are very gifted. I look forward to more!

[WyldStalyon]

This was nicely done. Can't wait to see the next one. :)

[0Veni0Vidi0Vici0]

quality work, beautifully directed, filmed, and editted, also loved how the girl was slightly taller than the guy, makes for a nice little quirk at the end, awesome job man

[NickSaucesome]

he reminds me a bit of jesse eisenberg

great lighting and sound

[skategriggs]

Interesting... and thanks! and thanks to my crew!

Lighting: Aaron Tyson

Audio: Patrick Collier / James Choi

Music: Korey Dane and Mogwai

[trevorc4113]

Mogwai! great video man!

[skategriggs]

Thanks.

yes the label company for mogwai and the artist were very gracious in granting me the rights for their music.

[dbenallie]

loved the film, :)

keep up the good work

db

[LoNgBoArDkIdGAVIN]

loved it

[insanedrummer2468]

steve 0:28 ....i think someone was messing wit u r utube user.. (change password).....

[skategriggs]

Wow wtf. thanks for pointing that out. I think this has happened on a couple different email shit i have. So irritating.

[Hiatusdown]

how did you get your compresson settings to work so well? i would really appreciate it if you share your secrets bro. thanks!

and again, another great film and unique concept.

[skategriggs]

Umm basically just exported in Mp4 codec since youtube works the best with it. Then i had the data rate at: 5000 k/bits per sec to keep the video under 1gb. The the size was also doubled from SD to HD.

[jtyokomo]

That was really good!! love the longboarding videos and this just shows that you can do more than just the longbording vids. But keep those comin too haha.

[awesomeaustin]

Gorgeous video dude.

Nice to know you do more then just longboarding vids.

Which are amazing also!

Keep it up.

[ariellevoght3]

This is so good! I swear!

[MonotoneProductions]

hey man this is amazing

great composition

great soundtrack

great lighting

great story

just overall awesome man!

one question

did you use the dvx mic? or do you have a shotgun?

[skategriggs]

Shotgun absolutely, the DVX on-board mic is pretty terrible. We were booming from above on every shot, and the audio recordist was live mixing.

[briantran1]

hey what do u prefer.

the dvx100b or the hvx200

kind of a dumn question, but whatevas

[skategriggs]

Uhhh ive never used the HVX, but considering its HD, yes i do like it better lol. I mean the DVX and HVX are virtually the exact same camera, except one is HD. and it has a couple more features. So its better....

[tevens22]

Absolutely beautiful film, amazing job once again!

[1012Shaggy]

Dude, awesome, amazing.

Loved the courage portrayed when he stepped out from his OCD, Courage to step away from his perfection towards a person he thought was perfect, ending the need to control 'stuff' like the door. At least that's what I took from the first watch.

Loved it mate

[34JohannesHeinz34]

Is it filmed in HD or just expoerted to 720p?

Great film btw! Good job steve!

[skategriggs]

Sorry, yeah it was only filmed in SD quality (720x480). I just exported it in HD 1080x720 for better display on youtube.

[rgfodestruction]

This is amazing. Every single one of your videos put me in a better mood.
