I was thinking doing an chess short film just for fun and have something to put in for my school Film Festival but after checking this out. this is amazing.
Its a film about a man playing chess with himself, simply. However there is so much meaning and metaphors woven in. Everyone has their own reason why they love it. I myself love his engagement and emotion. Pixar is an amazing group of people. I love almost all of their shorts, but this is my favorite.
Sooooo great! I'm soooooo glad that there's a live version of the Pixar's animation, and that there's a real old man playing in it and having fun! *v*
Amazing remake of the pixar short!! hahahahahahaha! you had to change the ending a bit, still the actor was amazing! did you saw those expressions? hahaha! simply amazing!
@eatthatpopcorn the game play. for the actual chess game. I believe it was checkmate with a queen and bishop. Not a queen and a knight. And the queen was on the wrong side. Not that this wasn't wonderful and awesome. Just saying.
@eatthatpopcorn he is right popcorn u messed up a couple details but other than that great job and if u dont believe me reply back and ill give u the times its a bit different its only very minor details tho
@eatthatpopcorn not exactly but darn close. the queen made the last move not the knight. lol. But really darn close. And Geri with the glasses had his king in the space at the back of the board closest to him. But you did an AMAZING job! This was really well thought out & made! Congratulations! I applaud you!
The beginning is perfect, very close to the original! Landscape's perfect too. But, in my way of see this, emotion is lacking :/ But I liked it, can't say it's not cool.
Hang on. Am I the only one who noticed 2:41, at which moment there is the hand of "one" of the old men, while the other is in the picture. This defeats the purpose of the entire clip!
@eatthatpopcorn I have just watched the original and I stand corrected. Sorry about that. But doesn't it strike you as odd that they did that in the original? It's such a clever and well-made film so it makes me wonder if it was done deliberately. If so, I can't figure out why ....
Not bad. if the elderly man can act devious on his supposed second personality(just like the animation), it could have been better..but good nonetheless
Not bad. if the elderly man can act devious on his supposed second personality(just like the animation), it could have been better..but good nontheless
There are bloopers at 3:29 and 3:32. The tan pieces are already on the opposite side of the table even though the glasses guy hadn't switched the board around yet. But overall, I loved this. =]
I have always loved this short film. And to this day it is still my favorite. There was only two things that really seemed wrong in it to me. The fact there was no audio of the man laughing every time he moved a piece as a way to antagonize his opponent and the fact the prize at the end was supposed to be dentures and him putting them in and smiling. But still it was a great performance and still was very entertaining to watch. Thank you for the making of the film and posting it up.
Nice job! you look so much like the character of Geri. It was very believable. You should do the scene from Toy Story 2 where the cleaner fixes Woody and be the cleaner since the cleaner was based off of Geri.
I've always enjoyed this Pixar short. I'm impressed by how you've performed it. Especially enjoyed shots at 3:06, 3:10, 3:17 - your low camera angle and the dark sky behind it made him seem more menacing.
You missed an important establishing shot near the start though - his isolation would have been better potrayed if you had a shot of him screen-right, capturing the space. You might have zoomed out a tad too quickly at the end too.
