The Hat Trick

[SaltStreetCinema]

Very well done, the whole thing is great!

[LEot128]

I thought it was very well done. I thought the music was very good, with its curious feeling to it. I thought the music added more to the film than anything else. I do agree that it is a little creepy, but its definately a good short film. *****

[kakashi76767]

its like working for a company... you are enticed by the idea of "hitting it big", living the american dream, or something like that, and its represented by the hat. But in the end you are drained of the best years of your life and you never "hit it big" - hence the retirement poster in the background near the end... you just end up being a mope...

[gebala4]

im really lost. this can relate to so many diffrent things.

can someone explain this, that has a good idea on what point this video makes?

Im confused between corruption,greed,socialism,arm­y, to much pm me if you can explain.

i love these videos there awesome.

[eljeha2000]

that was slightly disturbing

[spucy]

Nice, but for some reason I'm left feeling really creeped out.

[maedent]

takes a special talent to do that...

[Zerker67]

it was the old recruit who's hat and black cloak got ripped off that got thrown into the forest along with all the other old recruits(the banner said happy retirement!)

[srvanjoy]

the music became really cool at 2:23

[joufuchan]

wait, the ending came to fast...was the main character the one that got thrown into the forest, or was it an old recruit that he replaced by having the hat forcefully sown onto him?

[smartgirl64]

weird

[jpjuga]

it's a metaphor. clarification would ruin the point.

[SouljaBoyFuckinSucks]

nigga please

[invalidacess]

it was ok animation but ur storyline needed some more work. Towards the end i felt lost. Could of used more calrification as to wat really happens to them.

[marbleblast123]

ok.....good animation but...made absoluteky NO sense.But good job!!!

[aChapo]

Amazing! What software was it made with?

[deepestburrow]

for theists...:If free will is an illusion how do you reconcile the existence of evil?

[JAMAILBUG]

it doesn't

[andregil4]

Impressive!

[mft1234]

Interesting video. Great animation and music.

[misterstaley]

Very good animation..I just hope you are not seeing the illusion that people don't have and make choices.

We are not robots and we HAVE choices..it's just the reality that there are some people and THINGS in this world that try to limit, mask, or make us blind to those choices....and the scary part is...that we often make the CHOICE to allow it to happen.

You can quote me on that one.

[efishency]

Choice is the illusion. Every "choice" you make is the result of an infinite series of causes that have led you to where you are at that point, and the frame of mind your in, all of which are out of your control. And, if you believe in a God, partiularly Judeo-Christian, that simplifies things enormously. How can you claim free will if a being who knows everything caused you to exist? He knows all your actions and their consequences. An all-knowing being even knows his own actions before-

[efishency]

hand. If he knows all of his actions before-hand, then God himself has no free will, because if he is free to change those actions, then he is not, in fact omnicient.

[spucy]

efishency, that was deep!

[misterstaley]

WOW another sleeper in the MATRIX LOL..I'll pray for you..again good animation.

[manybagolike]

AWSOME!

[attilako]

[zaraxumi]

[nevous8]

Cool video animation etc... But you have to realize sometimes people don't want to choose.

[Paxadzor]

illusion of choice is interesting, but this movie kinda sucked,, sry

[hovsec]

i like the musci, gives it a feeling i like

[playa1313]

wow, that was deep... kind of scary too. Very good job!

[heartedbraclet]

[jsnoopy10]

[rollin77]

Damm that shit is deep!

[yourworstniightmare]

wow, i never thought i would see something like that.

[reply]

Beautiful concept.

[ellen830]

yeah thata why everbody bought uggs

[tashuan16]

cool

[TheMandelbrotSet]

so... they took his brain? whut does that have to do with hats?

[bezait321]

i dont really get it.....i want to know what message is. someone tell me plz?

[AliceSnowberry]

I really enjoyed that. The message is really well hidden, but so true. People will always be part of a herd mentality. Nietzsche rings true.

[jabukamala]

nice film

[Obsidian82]

I'm surprised no one had rated this yet. I saw this before it was put on here and think it's a cool comment on society.

I sometimes feel like the character in this film, lol!
