[atlkid816]

This reminds me of Taken so much!!

Love this video!!Awesome job man!!!

[ztag100]

u said in the end "he didnt even take the sim card out" but its a tour... tour uses cdma technology... no sim card... im probably just overly geeking... anyway good video ...

[MovieMan572]

@ztag100 Actually, the Tour is a World Phone on Sprint and Verizon and therefore uses a SIM card when overseas, meaning there is a Verizon/Vodafone SIM card in each and every Tour.

[ztag100]

@MovieMan572 oh... didnt know that ... i thought just the bold 9650 was...

[ihredemption]

pretty bad video nice

[Brianm23]

I noticed in the scene you had a Acura steering wheel, but your supposed to be driving in a mustang.?

[MovieMan572]

Yeah, theres an explanation for that, see post below from 2 weeks ago, if you really care :P

[r0cketman22]

Awesome!

Although, your name was flashed WAY too many times.

[MovieMan572]

Yeah, its kind of a gag I've used since 6th grade

[r0cketman22]

haha

[cyphonephor1909]

I find it weird how some scenes were filmed in the summer and some in the fall because the trees are so different.

[MovieMan572]

Actually, it was filmed a week apart this fall but in two different states because I go to school in a different state than where I live!

[chinoxs203]

you go to QU? when i heard aspen glen dr and saw jersey plates i was like wait a sec..... congrats on the win!

[UnitedPS3]

Congratulations! :)

[mndavit]

Hay es? I saw the Armenian flag on your desk. Congrats!!!

[islanderdude1088]

this video is awesome, it should def win, although i think the national treasure soundtrack would have worked better

[johnnyramma]

Excellent.!

[philthyt]

Bravo! Good Luck!

[jon10181]

[MovieMan572]

That is one of the songs from "Batman Begins" :)

[chinoxs203]

[paymon11]

[Corbleft4]

[WindowsBooster]

adobe After Effects, Video copilot; Andy Cramer xD

[MovieMan572]

Yes! Good ol' Andrew Kramer! Love those tutorials.

[WindowsBooster]

i spelled his name very wrong xD

oh yeah awesome video 5* and i again thought i got a message xD

[WindowsBooster]

lol in the beginning i thought i got a message xD

[MovieMan572]

You know what, I friggin MADE the movie and the first two times I watched it, I thought I got a message, too! lol

[WindowsBooster]

haha i thought it the second time too haha xD

[djtarique]

Good editing. but the story and camera shots were off. u have a few more videos to go where u can go from amateur to professional.

Keep working on it.

[MovieMan572]

lol, thank you? When I start making money, THEN I'll be a pro ;)

[P3DR066]

i love my blackberry good job on the video!!!

[dieselboi91]

HAHAHA amazing!

[sunrisepromotions]

Great video! I honestly felt a spasm of terror when you woke up in the film and your BlackBerry was gone. I've had moments like that (but mostly because I'd misplaced it). But if someone ever takes my BlackBerry, this is probably what it would look like! LOL

[Kamika007z]

Nice video, you got my vote. Also, I noticed by the bed the Armenian flag??

[MovieMan572]

Yup! You noticed right! ;)

[TheShriekingShack]

Wow this is simply, great! Very nice editing, acting and stunts!

[tlniermann]

Great job! I know nothing of movie making so I wouldn't pick out the flaws as I saw none ; )

Awesome Video and entertaining! You have my vote!

[branden31123]

Awesome video! Great editing as well! :D

[ixobileixobile]

love the purrell after touching the sony cell phone hahaha

[angrychinesedriver]

that was a hilarious scene, but makes me kinda sad on the inside because i love my SE :(. haha (but it's WAY better than whatever phone Matt was holding)

[freshsqueezemedia]

Outstanding job!!! My only question is, "When did Ford start installing Acura steering wheels on Mustangs?" ;-)

[MovieMan572]

Haha good catch! I (Matt Galo) was driving the Mustang in the exterior shots because it is my car and I trained with it. My friend John was driving the Acura in the exterior shots (the bald bad guy). We shot those on a separate weekend than the interior shots of me driving the "Mustang". The reason the interior shots were not in the Mustang is because the weekend we shot those were up at my school in CT when my Mustang was in NJ! We did the best we could with that! :)

[freshsqueezemedia]

I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice it, and it certainly doesn't detract from an overall great job you did on the entry. Good luck.

[MovieMan572]

Thank you!

[RaGeSEt]

I don't often make comments on other film creator's films, but very well done.

Pros: Very well put together "chase" scene. Overall story is more original than the others videos. Usage of AE is great.

Cons: Film cuts a little rough. Weak areas in the flow of the film.

I must ask how you persuaded the police to allow you to do the stunts, I had to go through tons of red tape to get permission for my film (not related to CB). Overall, I think you should be rewarded the top prize!

[MovieMan572]

Thank you for your excellent comments!

As for your questions, its all in who you know...as I'm sure you're aware of, being a filmmaker yourself!

[MovieMan572]

Yup, it is! And I used Final Cut Pro and After Effects to make the vid. After Effects is a pain in the ass, but it is definitely worth it!

Thanks!

[GreenImmortal]

Very nifty. I went to school for film and we only got to use Final Cut Pro and played with Motions a bit (not as much as I would have liked lol) I'm looking to get a Mac Pro desktop and load it up with editing software lol Well if you ever need extra hands on set look me up! ^_^

[MovieMan572]

Sounds like you know your way around the computer! If I'm ever back in Wayne and need someone who knows what they're doing, I'll look you up! :)

[jgaspar89]

Congratulations on winning your new Macbook and Storm2/Onyx.

[MovieMan572]

LOL! I hope so!

[jonesy311c]

you made a dramatization of when my berry got stolen by evil goombahs in newark. lol great vid

[MovieMan572]

Hahahah oh man, Newark. Being a Jersey-ite (?) I feel the pain!

[rushringleader]

You deserve to win. Best one I have seen

[MovieMan572]

Thank you, that really means a lot!

[iluvmycrackberry]

So, who was driving the mustang? Both you and the bad guys were in the Acura. (see steering wheel) lol

Also, it would have been just as good without the profanity and blood, but good video overall. Definitely enough to make top 10.

[MovieMan572]

Ahh, someone spotted it! lol

I (Matt Galo) was driving the Mustang in the exterior shots because it is my car in real life and I trained with it. My friend John was driving the Acura in the exterior shots (the bald bad guy). We shot those on a separate weekend than the interior shots of me driving the "Mustang". The reason the interior shots were not in the Mustang is because the weekend we shot those were up at my school in CT when my Mustang was in NJ! We did the best we could with that!

[MovieMan572]

As for the cursing and the gore, it was a "grittier" film so I believe that stuff was needed. Also, I felt like trying out some effects, especially for this contest! I wanted to put in as much effort as possible!

[jdub50]

i gotta say it was prettyyyyyyy, prettyyyyy good. would have been better if i had a cameo

[steffa423]

all of the SGA work that you couldve been doing!

[MovieMan572]

You would have a YouTube account.

[Clevelandjr1]

How does this only have 3 stars??? What is WRONG with you people??

[rkkutty]

Wow, awesome!

[crystal9039]

[MovieMan572]

[MrSalutemyshorts]

[tattoopunk]

Wow, that was awesome! I mean I want to win the contest but your video was way better!

[aznhomieboi1689]

Great job! You deserve to win! :)

[MovieMan572]

Thank you! That means a lot!

[rectorna]

Dude best video i seen yet haha you've got my vote hahah im actually voting for you rather than my self ahaha.

[MovieMan572]

Haha! Well, that really means a lot to me! Thank you, and tell any of your friends, especially if they, too, would kill for their Blackberry! :P

[raymendo]

AWESOME VIDEO! Definitely the best in the competition! SO much effort went in it! I'll be upset if it doesn't win! Great job, Movieman!

[MovieMan572]

Thank you! I hope I win, too!

[charcharjack1]

Awesomeness. Wanted to do the contest also, but I lost my Blackberry a couple of weeks ago. :(

Trust me, it's hard without a Blackberry.

[MovieMan572]

Ahh man, thats gotta be rough! I couldn't do it, Need my 'Berry!

[charcharjack1]

correction: someone STOLE my Blackberry. I need your gun and your driving skills to kill that idiot. LOL.

[MovieMan572]

LOL! Just go to Wal Mart

[linkkoriri]

Wow! Well done! Definitely going to give the rest of the Crackberry Community a run for their berries. :P Did you ever say tho "I love you blackberry"? I missed it.

[MovieMan572]

Thank you! And I made sure to say "I love my Blackberry" as per the guidelines. I said it in the beginning when I pulled out the gun and put the jacket on :P

[Moo8998]

That was awesome AND hilarious lol

[MovieMan572]

Thank you!
