I am very impressed with this video mostly for the technical aspects of it. I would like to know, what quality camera was used to shoot it? Was a tripod used? How was the chase scene filmed so smoothly? Was Adobe Premiere Pro Editing software used? I am asking these questions because I am gonna help out a friend for their video.
This Video is awsome!!!! How did you do the scene at the end where she "freezes" the stuff in mid air, i get the rest. Kammi, is my hero! She still owes me breakfast though.
So you asked me to watch this and that If i did i could tell you what i think. Before i do i want to remind you I actually took art and drama classes in college. :P
I am sorry but I am less than impressed. First what is the point? She does not wear brand names? Any reason why or is it just the same old Northwest we don't like popular stuff because it is popular?
Wither your movie is a parody "a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work, its subject, or author, by means of humorous or satiric imitation" or you are just trying to rip off another movie to make a statement about a diffrent topic. Which unfortunately is the case.
It is not hard to copy another movie which is what you are doing unless you add humor or satiric imitation.
Hey, thank you for the insightful critique and analysis. I would like to shed light on the deeper meaning behind our film....it all starts with the purple pill. Which we used as a metaphor for our education at the University of Washington, in fact, more specifically the knowledge we gained through our POL/COM 306 class...and though this class we became enlightened and are truly able to see how saturated our everyday lives are with corporate branding, products, and politics.
First of all, there is no need to be impressed, like, or even want to like our film. Thats not its point. The point is this, plain and simple: Before we took POL/COM 306 we were not 100% aware of how intensely "Branded" the world is. From corporate products, words, sayings and statements, to nations and countries (yes, the USA is a brand).....
...... And through taking this class and through various books and articles we read through out the course we are now able to literally see how branded the world is, and just like "neo" in our film...we are able to either choose or reject being "branded" and decide for ourselves if we want to be covered with labels, or buy and wear certain products, etc.
We are actually not trying to rip off a movie to make another point. In fact, we are taking the point that the movie, The Matrix made, and expanding it and making it directly relational to what we learned in class. If you watch the movie The Matrix with this in mind, the film we made conveys exactly the same themes. Our themes are just placed in a different context.
By its nature, films are made to convey a message. Our film has a unique dichotomy in that it conveys our message on two fronts...one from being that we know audiences have a general idea of what the movie, The Matrix is about. And secondly, they can apply the ideas that we put into our film (like the Purple pill rather than blue, and the shoes and products, rather than bullets) to relate witness what we learned though taking POL/COM 306 and how we now see the world of corporate branding, etc.
After all this is a CLASS project, so in effect, the film we made conveys exactly what we learned though CLASS......usually when those two ideas come together it results in grades above D's
1 - Yes, Dragula is overdone. Exactly, isn't it corporate branding and popular culture that made it so?
2 - Slow motion IS the Matrix effect. They filmed the majority of fight scenes at 120 frames per second....double the slow motion speed that we filmed our in.
3 - Soooo the movie is a big "chase" scene? Did that take long to write?
4 - The "Who throws a shoe? Honestly" is in fact a reference to the Austin Powers film
..so isnt that statement both satirizing and mocking that film? isnt that what your criticized our film for doing? So...for me to understand that statement "who throws a shoe" and think of it as a comical and witty statement on your part...wouldn't I have to have a clear understanding and mainstream knowledge of the Austin Power film? just like we aimed for the majority of our audience to have that same understanding of themes and quotes from The Matrix.
The iPod grab was done with a locked off camera and then split screening it with someone holding the other end of the iPod. Then in After Effects I rotoscoped out the hand and tracked the iPod's motion to make it cleanly match the clean plate footage.
UNREAL!!!! This is your #1 fan telling you that you are absolutely-freakin-amazing and that's all there is to it! A+ from the Carlisle crew and Jake says "your hired"...we don't know for what yet...but your hired!
Oh my fucking god, this is the baddest ass YouTube video I have ever seen. If you had posted this three days ago you definitely would have won, but great video anyway! I am super jealous!!!

Lastly a few personal comments.
1 - Dragula is over done
2 - Slow motion is NOT the matrix effect.
3 - Soooo the movie is a big "chase" scene? Did that take long to write?
4 - Who throws a shoe? Honestly, you fight like a woman!
Sorry guy but unless the project assignment was to film whatever you felt like I would give you a B- at best. But because it is you, I give you a D.
