Former Self

[mistersicklystar]

That's Bautista. Haha wtf

[DragonCTR]

What was the purpose of the film? Was it to tell about a Hitman or the death of the Hitman? It was good music, that I can say, perfect lighting, the plot though is confusing.

Anybody wearing a pinky ring is obviously a murderer.

[pangavon]

Whenever you handcuff somebody, always face the keyhole face up, towards the head, and double lock them. Makes it much more difficult to unlock the cuffs with a hidden key.

Good film work, really made me want to go out and kill people.

Very nice job telling a story without anyone in the filming talking.

[ductraep]

i really like your role Angel Batista on Dexter

[Swamaro]

I only watched this because I thought the fat guy was Angel Huerta from Dexter

[shaynethetrain]

i wish there was a "i dislike this very much" option...

[azizjanjan]

"Ghettofilmschool" more trash from trashy low life "ghetto" people.... this video is shit.

[allthetime]

thumbs up !!!if you think youtube must be crazy for putting this on the main page!

[botwonder1010]

@allthetime how so?

[balderrising1]

Loved the music/soundtrack as well. The Animals at the Ending was perfect

[balderrising1]

This was cool. Where was this filmed at?? I saw the "PineApple Stone Wall Post", in one of the first shots. Was wondering if it was Savannah or Charleston?

[SWcreations]

huh?



[SpiderShane1]

I'm sorry, but this is super lame.

[iEatGiraffeWeenus]

chek out my gamin vids plzi beg for subs i relly like viewers and subs i like i

[xxtekimxx]

GAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

[TheUnsungOne]

Ah crap I thought it was Sgt. Batista. Damn Dexter has taken my life.

[sgtsombrero]

check out Gravediggers new single, "For thou that remains" official music video. leave comments

[anessone]

@xTheFallenOne what else are you supposed to do with no dialouge

[DanielW4294]

009 Sound System Makes the WORST MUSIC EVER! Youtube adore's it though, since they can advertise on video's that use trackone's music! Lets boycott trackonerecordings and stop using their music on our videos! They are ruining music and video quality! Spread This Around If You Agree!

[Panixomfg]

@DanielW4294 but but but but I like born to be wasted :( 009 Sound System isn't THAT bad.

[yrotciv1]

Well this isn't batista. 

[k9999radio]

making films is so much harder than it looks. but i think a tripod would have helped a lot, and maybe not so much reliance on the soundtrack. with a little more composition it could be better.

[AeonFlexMusic]

Lol, her NOSE.

[SuperChips101]

r u a jew

[megaonyx7]

Italian Hit man contract killer. He adapted to his new way of living and went to church and killed a man that had connection to the dead man in photogragh. Bro? Cop? Hitman?

[braviraxiii]

wow... apparently people die instantly upon letting go of a choke... riiiiight. Its not a gradual thing to choke somebody to death. 5 seconds... thats about right...

[chaote]

Great job. :-)

[vlxxx]

The Beastie Boys!?

Cool soundtrack choice.

But I don't get it.

[TheMortalMonk]

In my opinion this was rather boring and some of the shots was not composed that well. I guess you got to start somewhere, I would seriously consider practicing your depth of field and better shot composer.

I don't know if "ghettofilmschool" is real, but I got my training from a school such as a University. So I would consider going to a college for this kind of stuff and it depends on who teaches your class as well, if your determined you will make a great film.

[veracify]

Well it held my attention, but, it would have been better if he felt remorse about his former self. He is the same loser he was when he was younger. Change the ending and it will be good. Or have them strangle his daughter, see how that makes him feel

[jhaul21]

wait is it supposed to suck?

[CasualGarbage]

Soo is there supposed to be a moral or point to the story that i missed?

[bigsteamfan]

10 shorts in under 6 minutes... Guess what.. ALL of the videos on Spotlight are exactly 6 minutes OR MORE...

[dispatcher846]

OMG...he does look just like Buatista from Dexter.

shit.

[danrois]

this looked like the guy in dexter

[Oriedo]

This is a horrible and funny video foreal.''Former Self''.''Ghetto Film School''.

[MrHypocrasy]

good still on camera and i think i need a joint to enjoy it...lol

[GohModley]

This is why you should never give a spic a camera. Give them a taco cart instead.

[adventuretime77]

BAUTISTA FROM DEXTER!!!

[dukefirn13]

@adventuretime77 hahaha thats what i thought too

[benz499]

@adventuretime77 Exactly what I thought.

[ghfakar]

Fuck you punk ass gang mentality types. Anytime anywhere, pussy asses. COME ON YOU FILTHY COWARDLY PUNKS!! FUCK OFF>Can't fight alone. One on one. LIKE all the others.

[EbbanFloww]

I don't like this vid.

[dustbunster95]

The use of music is a bit stilted. The material looks more suited for a feature length film instead of a six minute one. It'd be much more enjoyable if it were longer. Still a good movie, though.

[Kaatins]

from a thumbnail i thought this is that guy from OZ ....

[lost1nanger]

who leaves evidence the first time around...then again leaves finger prints and evidence the 2nd time around...im foreseeing this being a multi part film.

[Zurph]

Good plot idea but where's the resolution of the first killing? I was expecting that he would pay for the first killing or someone maybe kill him in return as retribution. Him, being handcuffed and then able to pull out a cuff pick out of nowhere was a bit out of left field, it wasn't bad I'll say that but like I said no resolution for the first murder, maybe you weren't going for that but it still needed something a bit lacking. Shot well, I liked it but it's missing something.

[gh0sted1]

Reminds me of the last shit I took!

[theambie21]

So who would win in a battle between a wombat and a wallabe? Watch my videos and find out, that they have nothing to do with that question. Do it, really do it.

[Mortalsleep]

@lilianacoya I am so not a director. An amateur writer at best. Just that every story/film follows a pattern beginning, Middle, and end, the entire middle was missing, even old loony toon cartoons manage to have all three in there 6 to 15 min clip. I admit though the courage to pursue such a career or dream is awesome. However courage and passion can't make good film, songs, books. I want to sing but never going to happen, be an underwear model but my one ab will not cut it. so study on.

[allthetime]

"GhettoFilm" INDEED!

[niev300]

@allthetime : care to elaborate? I checked your page and didn't see anything nearly as original, intelligent or creative.

[wikitiki10]

the way it's filmed is kinda yucky.

[135135135135135]

Boring and shitty.

[gskowal]

garbage..

[boanerges144]

I don't get it??? Explanation please...

[pgwese]

maybe he was a cop

[Mortalsleep]

sorry take back the acting comment, i will say directed or written.

[Mortalsleep]

Well this could of been acted out better, Whats the guy's name the choker since he killed two people the same way. The first part done in black and white was okay. But they could of did a better job in the second sequence. How about doing like a close up pan over family photos on the wall, to soften the transition to new future "choker". Also to me i was baffle how could some little skinny guy manage to over power this dude, he must be 260ish, and put him in cuffs. Was he a cop?

[DynaDuctINC]

9 weeks? FreddieW does not need 9 weeks :D

[ThePeopleneedhelp]

0:29 pineal gland lol

[ellamellop]

I love this video although they did need a tripod in some parts, I felt that they were working with what they had and thats great! Nowadays we give applaud to those who already have what they need, but what about the underdogs?

[Zoran54321]

2:15 Angel Batista? What are you doing here?

[steven123483]

nice work! It is not easy to make a movie dialog or not - this is a good one.

[werc007]

i thought that guy is from dexter:D

[webhead3685]

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. In my opinion it was a good film. You still know what's going on even if there is no dialogue so why's everyone so bent outta shape? I like the Noir flashback too.

[system3142]

I agree. If I had to make a video of 6 minutes without dialogue, I'd have to make a stupid one like a sunset off of a beach or something. You can't have situations of potential dialogue, and then assume they didn't say anything.

[kelly2charmin]

Thought that was the guy from Dexter

[Zomb1eX]

Retarded vid

[smnsohail]

/watch?v=LdqRuUXCruk

[MrMagik158]

Thumbs up for thinking its Angel Batista

[Ronteque]

@MrMagik158 Hell yeah! I actually clicked the thumbnail thinking it was Angel Batista from Dexter!

[AmenLordi3]

@Ronteque I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that did that rofl.

[GigoloJustaGigolo]

That's not Angel Batista.

[narcomanel]

I clicked because he looked like the guy from Dexter.

[JackSprattDaBat]

@narcomanel lol wow same

[IBadWolfI]

@narcomanel lol i said the same thing XD

[DazedAndConfused1974]

@narcomanel Lol! Same here dude!

[ASleeplessWolf]

I vote for Brendon Small.

[imbored200]

hi

[steveunlocked]

Wow did anyone watch the video I found on youtube? You can see it here, its Amazing!

[Flmarlins18]

hey i just wanted to say thanks man for wasting 6 minutes of my life

[randybk69]

congrats to whomever made this it was the only good one

[JerryMnemonic]

To be honest the part where he gets choked out came off a little short. It was in dire need of "some" sort of music... good short though :D

It was really great....Made it more awesome with Frank Sinatra's Summer Winds....

[bibabuzze]

Watched because the guy on the thumbnail looks like Angel Batista from dexter :)

[nairobi1234]

explain the film to me...

[rem1208]

@nairobi1234

Man with gangster past commits murder.

Man grows up and has a family.

Family is attending church (or quite possibly the daughter's wedding).

Man is confronted by his past (in the form of a cop, or quite possibly a revenge-seeking gangster...this part is ambiguous).

Man reverts to his former self and commits murder.

Man feels sick and confused - walks off to an unknown fate.

[marcdaddy33]

@rem1208

nice explanation.

[TheWhiteRayBanGirl]

Best video out of the rest..

[harmony5942]

Great job have skills!!! Keep up the great work. If its a spot open in the next movie let me know not as good as your pop..Lol

[nairobi1234]

i dont understand this film...someone please explain it to me...

[JTx0894]

Definitely my favorite out of the 10 presented at Lincoln Center yesterday!

[xXhodeb]

:-O so many views now... i guess i have to say... INB4 100 VIEWS!

[drogoscg1]

I don't know. Didn't work for me. Just because the lead has a kid doesn't justify his right to deny the past.

[niev300]

@drogoscg1 : I don't think that's the point. He will always be ready to revert to his "Former Self" hence the title...

[SirJohnBonham]

I was disappointed when I found out that the guy in the thumbnail was not Sargent Batista from Dexter... dislike

[JessMenu]

@SirJohnBonham mee too.

[morzinbo]

@JessMenu me three

[MicroShaughft]

y is there so no many veiws. i get that it dosent make sense but its on the brows page. theres like millions of people on youtube who watch these stupid youtube picked vids

[blackbuilt]

somebody get this man a tripod

[cutieangelicamaria]

this is good!

[oneplusoneisnotfive]

apparently I'm fifth 

[xXhodeb]

this is on the first page.. . why doesent this have more views

[MoOtErFiCk1]

@xXhodeb Doesn't*..

[TheTruthHurtsYup]

@xXhodeb The reason why it doesn't have many views is cause the thumbnail is of that fat guy and his stupid goatee. If they had a thumnail of that girls boobs at 2:30, then this would have 10 million views. Trust me.

[matts417]

@xXhodeb Probably because not many people look at first page stuff anymore.. youtube has gotten... blah.. latley..

[scuttlebuttz]

@xXhodeb Subscription updates. People see the new annoying orange is out and forget the rest of youtube exists

[YKballer07]

@xXhodeb mary jane invade my brain, now i cant complain.
