The Love Theorem (Abundance of Katherines, An Adaptation)

[jmaster1324]

Now that would be a great secene in the movie (parden my spelling if i miss spelled anything))

[dolphin64575]

cute, if a little fast paced

[Noyjeetut]

Interesting to see the dialog in actual motion. Too bad none of it contained "fug" or "fugging." :P

[animelattack]

This was awful and incredibly inaccurate. Especially... everthing about it.

[fuzzheadwriter]

A very nice adaptation, but it was weird to give Colin a guitar.

[angelgal9514]

I liked this. Its cute. (:

[aukluk]

Bad acting, the music in the background was just grating...I know you didn't have a lot of time to work on this but I would expect better from you :\.

[insanitylives]

Jew fro? No?

[mufasaproductionsyo]

it was good, but i pictured colin with brown hair, and john green sort of mentions throughout the book that colin has a jew-fro, so the kid who played hassan seemed like a better better for playing collin. and i picture lindsey with light hair, but thats about it.

otherwise, it was good :)

[daltiepoo]

and hassan was um..... i can't remember but he wasn't white. lol

[Toastisntsquare]

@daltiepoo Arab I think.

[rockyqw12]

burn that shite.

[notfromaway12]

this made my day!!!

but Lindsy sort of acts like.....insanely annoying

[ggggtgtg]

I picked up that book cause my name is Katherine, and ended up absolutely loving it

[PrincessK98]

omg ii diid exactly da same thiing! hehe! awesome book! ii also ended up lovviin da author :)

[BigKLittleT]

you think the acting is just bad? all of it is bad! im sorry, i mean i understand its just for fun but honestly no one looks like their supposed to and theres no emotion and i loved this book, but this is not a good representation of it!

[zewbag]

dude if the movies gunna be like this its gunna put the book to shame:/ sorry but the acting is bad

[TGracia93]

people refuse to read the description...

[kthxrae]

it was good, but the song kind of ruins it. shame, shame.

[SelinaCollins]

Sorry to be a perfectionist! BUT Colin is supposed to have glasses and an awesome jew fro! and Hassan is supposed to be fat and Muslim. Otherwise it was a good adaptation.

[BrettLikesCows]

i like it very much... don't find the right words... but... awesome might do it!!!

[AhBabyDoll]

I looove this book!

i checked it out in my school library.

Very good!

I wish there was a movie(:

Acting sucks,sorry.:D

[banishedangel6]

i forgot if it's in the book, but i always figured lindsey was blond.

[conorr6]

that's okay, i figured hassan was asian...im pretty sure that was in the book

[GeeWizz9528]

this made me cringe

[noradoane]

this is so embarrassing. i never realized how awful my acting actually was.. haha.

[lydiam12]

awfull acting lol, but i love that book

[JimandPamfan]

watching this vid back when it was first made made me want to read the book

i did and i loved it thanks guys

[greengurlluvzanime]

You did an awesome job!

[XxAustin00xX]

I hate Parabolas (the graph) they are pretty hard

[malteasermia1]

ha, isnt hassan supposed to have man boobs tho?

loved it!

[SpecialStory]

Yeah...and he's kinda supposed to be Arab.

DOESN'T MATTER, AAOK IS MY BFF!

[ArdelSchwartzenguy]

Not great acting, and I winced when Colin, a highly intelligent person adept at a dozen languages, pronounced Kafka like an idiot.

[hamsterpoop]

great editing, ok acting...

[horsewhisperer990]

Made of pure awesome!

[tsorett]

Omg. A Honda element.

I have one too.

[TehKoolGeek]

ooo I love it!

[projoX]

i agree with steviethegreat07 .

the book, plus this is great!

[Steviethegreat07]

I think this was really, really, really well done. The music in the background was a little loud. But it makes a LOT more sense in the context of having read the book. Last time I watched this, I didn't get it. :/

Great job, guys!

[Christi543]

I finally read Katherines, and FINALLY got to watch this! I really liked it! Great job!! :)

[MarineCorpsready]

oh yeah , is this to be continued , or was that it?

[malinarana]

I can finally watch this because I finally read the book! Great video.

[pancakeorama]

Awesome. And a half. !!!

[valrockstar328]

Instead of all of the nerdfighters waiting forever for some big shot Hollywood guy to direct it, you should just make An Abundance of Katherines! (If you want to of course.)

[jerryhcooke]

I've only just got round to watching this Alan, I didn't want to get spoiled while reading (though, to be fair, I read it like two weeks ago and only just remembered to watch it) - really nice entry, good casting, dialogue, etc - I like! :)

[piratecat101]

Colin doesnt really look like Colin and neither does really ANY of them...or what the book described them as after reading the book, which was very good btw....nice tho XD

[migps2]

awesome, man. This vid really got me to read the book! Thanks!

[MrsStephanieSnape]

ily.

[LionChica5]

I haven't read the book, so i was a little bit lost. But, now I absolutly have to go out and buy the book! It was a good video! :]

[swordguilds]

you should make a whole movie ^^

[ISnoggedHarry]

I just started/finished Katherines, so I finally allowed myself to watch this video. Seeing it acted live makes me realize how weird Colin is. Weird, but awesome.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Samantha, glad you finished reading. =)

[Decembers]

Oh man, I loved this book. And this is so amazing.

[giftofabundance]

Spread Abundance and Peace and you shall receive it.

Deanna

[gloveboxburrito]

Mo heckadang! That was a good adaptation. Totally awesome!

[Thisplaceissoempy]

i liked it

[lcox6]

Loving it...and the music. That's Danger is My Middle Name out of Chicago....Right....They are awesome.

[fallofautumndistro]

Yup, that's them. =)

[RedVelvet777]

Love this one. Especially since my name's Katherine. =-P

[SelinaCollins]

thats not how i predicted colin

[pol1407a]

i just realised that's the 5 awesome guys theme tune playing on the radio at the begining!

[bella91xox]

i <3 it!!!! you should do this for looking for alaska

[MSnoobiest]

lol -4 from the director i guess, im just trying to help. ur summarized almost 2/4 of the book in 3 mins

[SquintzGraves]

Is there gonna be any more to this???

Seemed like it was going to be good and iwant to know what happens from there.

[TheWrittingOnTheWall]

It's based on the novel "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green. If you want to know what happens, read the book.

[SelinaCollins]

wo!

[MSnoobiest]

no offense but the actions so dif. Lindsey never sits on the back, the burning notes took place at Lindsey's house. Colin is not as good looking as the novel describes.

[MSnoobiest]

oh em gee, this is so unlike the book. I read it, it's awesome. People dun be lazy watching movies unstead of reading books xD.

[Prelude1814]

continue!!!

[toxictemper]

I is monkey

[resiewnoj]

Gah...Gah, I did Horribly, oh my god.. seriously I am ashamed of myself. Haha, but great work everyone else. Todd, you Rock and whoever adapted the script, nice. Looked great for such little time of filming.

[orangelaundryload]

[FantasticTwiHards]

Awesome!

You've made me want to go out and read this book.

[flusty24]

That was so good, make more!!! Pretty please?

[thatisawkward]

That was truly awesome! I waited until I finished An Abundance of Katherines (I finished about 5 minutes ago) before I watched this and it didn't disappoint.

[bananas1and2]

Wow. Five days, and that's what came of it? You guys probably have more awesome in your pinky than most people have in their whole body.

[AudreyDeary00]

That was just like it, very good :D

[devobat]

I really liked it, but it bugged me that NO ONE was waring a seat belt. Thats just my maternal instincts going crazy though. :3 good job!

[wayne19g]

excellent for time given. need more video content.

[CalebICT]

That was great. Looks like you could possibly have a long term profect on your hands. Let me know if you need help!

[sevrocksthehouse]

that. was. amazing.

[jellybeansies]

mmm, i didnt really like it.

[CRUNKRacoon]

DO MORE!!!

...please? :D

[Sik15]

Sweet. I'm doing my own adaption for Looking for Alaska (I wonder if I should e-mail John about it).

Its the barnyard prank scene =D All in the dark done with a very bad digital camera.

Quality is horrible but when its done Im ganna post it on YouTube, maybe even video responsee it to this.

I really liked this, much better then the one Im making myself xP

[intherain93]

[Pawnshopheart00]

[mandikinns]

Excellent job, Alan! Break a leg with the Sketchies =]

[The3AmigoShow]

Good job! I really want to read that book! Does anybody know if its available in Ireland? I cant buy it on the internet...

[blackparadegirl93]

is it good?

[LiLPunkN]

now I want to read the book really really bad

[fallofautumndistro]

You should, it's a great book!

[animefreak1301]

wow, this was really good! it would be awesome (times 5 :P) if this was like a whole movie that you made.

[fallofautumndistro]

Yeah, too bad the script rights for the whole film have already been sold.

[UnculturedProject]

I like your take on the book though. You've definitely wet my appetite for a full movie adaptation of the book.

Whoever bought the rights should seriously consider making it a movie. Maybe even have you and Todd involved in its production/direction as well? I can only hope :-)

[BooderMcDoo]

i really liked this alot!!!

[kenrg]

Perfectly done. Excellent.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks Ken!

[LittleMissKit]

Wow that was totaly made of awesome! :D Meow!

[coughdrop01]

well done you guys!

[HardKor182]

amazing!

[yourstargirl]

WOOOO ALAN AND TODD FOREVER.

[fallofautumndistro]

sitting in a tree...

[oberet]

alan and todd nice job!!!!

:)

[JohnCocktoston]

Well written and produced. Acting was a little iffy, and I'm not sure it's exactly what the Sketchies is looking for. This was more of a nice short film as opposed to a comedic sketch. Good job overall.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks John. Even if it's not what they're looking for, it was still fun, and gave me an excuse to ask John if I could do it. =)

[tennisluvnerd]

It's a good thing you've found a way to release some of your awesome... otherwise you might explode!

Impressive work.

[Ifancyharrypotter]

YAY AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINES!

How I loved the book.

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks fancy!

[pixiel87]

What did she write on his hand?

[0oBryo0]

yeh...the hand thing is confusing me a bit as well :S but overall a nice watch

[fallofautumndistro]

"off at seven" with a big girlie heart around it.

[ObviouslyJacques]

Awesome video! Great acting, too!

[PerthPete1]

excellent work, scripting, editing, directing, cam work,

[corteaus]

will there be a continuation? :)

[nalts]

Nice job, Alan. You must have had about 200 different edits.

[fallofautumndistro]

Over ninety minutes of footage into three minutes of screen time. It was nuts. Thanks for watching Kevin!

[J35T]

This is dumb.

[Madmatt18]

i love this vid is awesome

[inanimatepers0n]

totally made of awesome.

[glockbell]

I am very impressed. Good work!

[alieinna]

Jokesness!

This book holds a special place with me because I liked it even before I discovered the amazingness that is vlogbrothers.

The movie better be as good. =)

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks alieinna, I appreciate it!

[bizcakes]

I don't think I commented earlier to say how awesome this was, but even if I did: awesome. I love that book, and it's hard to make me happy with an adaptation, but you did.

[fallofautumndistro]

So happy to hear that bizcakes!

Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!

[natztheflip]

ALAN. this was great!!! wow. Man I really want to read Johns book.

[fallofautumndistro]

Link to buy it is in the sidebar, it's less than $10 if I remember correctly.

[crawleykakes]

Entertaining !

[bigmetaldude]

By the way, what kind of camera did you shoot this with and what do you use to edit?

Sorry if you've already been asked a million times.

[fallofautumndistro]

I use Sony Vegas for editing. I don't know the camera model, but Toddly00 does, PM him.

[bigmetaldude]

Have you used Adobe Premiere before? If so, how would you compare the two?

By the way, thank you for making this video. I'm gonna go scour my local book store, and if I can't find it here, I'll be paying a visit to Amazon.

[TangerineVampire]

I feel like I'm watching the movie adaptation already! Good stuff, guys. (:

[fallofautumndistro]

Thanks TangerineVampire!
