  • Fuck this shit!

  • The video is a little extreme but the main idea is that the little choices you make shape your future. I love it.

  • Oh, Come on...

  • Smoke weed, crack is whack.

  • The main point is to listen to your parents

  • great idea, but maybe a bit radical lol but I love the concept!

  • wow her decision to go outside even effected the color scheme her school uses

  • @fleshyvessel I know, so if your workplace or school has a shitty color, you better start looking for that one person to blame.

  • I want to go smoke up

  • I've shot a feature length sci-fi thriller on my HV30. BBC said of the screenplay "The way science is applied to memory, the examination of fractured consciousness and the shifts between timeframes is reminiscent of Charlie Kaufman."

  • @bodydoubleprod Cool story bro, tell it again.

  • should have had different types of parents because if the SAME KID, with the SAME GENES has the SAME MOM they would not choose differently. Parent types, genes and environmental cues effect who we are. There is NO FREE WILL, only cause and effect.

  • @allilicious That's an amazingly simple-minded world view you have.

  • @DrKnow417 it's not "simple-minded" at all. It actually exceeds the popular belief that we choose our paths. Everyone believes in a different philosophy, it's very juvenile of you to call "mine" simple-minded, when it clearly is not. Additionally, it's not a "World view" it's a philosophical view on will and whether or not it is free.

    Some people believe in god and magic, I however believe in science, i'm terribly sorry for you if you are offended by what it has proven.

  • @allilicious Go watch Zeitgeist Moving Foward dude... there's nothing in our genes that is our behaviour, get your facts straight !

  • what setting did you use for the rode videomic?

  • what a fucking joke of a film

    i loled

  • I like this a lot.

    Stupid people who don't like it...

  • did you really use a canon hv40? and if it is yes what kind of adapter you used and what lens

  • owh.... Its Amazing.... I Like That.

  • I really enjoyed this. The stark contrast between both lives was able to convey the story aptly. Better than "Sliding Doors" with Gwenneth Paltrow.

  • feck this.

  • congratulation brotha..nice Movie..5*!;)

    good concept of life : "We have to obey our parent/s and we must choose what is good for us"..greetings!^^

  • what happened to 1:00 ?

  • all because she wanted to play in the snow ;)

  • come on.... hey you wanna go smoke up? now you're a bum cause you smoked weed. hahaha... this would be more logical if it was like hey you wanna go shoot up some H?

  • i went outside. shit.

  • I'd rather hang out with the girl on the right

  • if yr mom tells you not to go outside because its too cold, listen to her(you'll probably kill yr brain cells fr the freezing temperature), or else it may cause a chain reaction (probably in the space time continuum,LOL), which will cause you to make stupid decisions in life...the moral of the film. LOL, am just fuckin with yall, that's not going to happen.

  • this makes no sense

  • Stumbleupon brought me to this.It's an interesting concept, but I don't follow how not listening to your mother when you're a child is going to lead to smoking pot in high school is going to lead to being a bum. Too much like an Above the Influence commercial if you ask me.

  • I don't think people should be so against this. It was obviously a massive exaggeration of what they are trying to say to you. Just in general, you shouldn't be rebellious to those above you by instinct.

    And yes, as a matter of fact, if you go by your own choices and never do what someone above you says, you may end up a bum on the street. For an example, you can't hold a good job unless you do whatever your boss tells you without question. This video is exaggerated but it's point is realistic.

  • God, I really really hate this and its message.

  • don't do drugs kiddo's

  • Maybe I should listen to my mom a little more.... O_O.

  • Ok i'm going to take both sides, I think it was a good video, Pros: it was shot well, it appeals to conservatives and parents, it was a great idea, it was very entertaining, and it does effectively deliver "A" message. Cons: It didn't have enough build up for the end to be so messed up on one side, people will criticize it for its extremeness, it does not appeal to teenagers (especially the ones that have tried drugs). Hope I analyzed it well for both sides

  • my birthday is on december 17 lol

    in 2015 i am goin to be 26 years old

  • The technical side of the film is clearly accomplished. The idea of following someone’s alternative life using the split screens and in such a short amount of time is an inspirational idea, however what the over all film is saying is 1. Offensive and 2. Extremely naïve.

  • @HARMONICROOMS

    What if the girl who goes outside, meets a homeless person, befriends them and takes them back home and the mother agrees to feed and house them until they get their life back in shape, while miss goodie two shoes wakes up the next morning to see a frozen body outside her house? Also implication that you smoke weed and therefore will end up on the streets is laughable.

  • It's showing that one simple act can completely change the outcome of one's life.

  • all i can say is lol

  • I don't really agree with the morals of this :/

  • @mollymooo96 its the director's opinion, but i do agree with you on that.

  • i really like this film!

  • I don't really catch the message of the story.. 

  • Kurt here (Concept and Director of the short). I love these comments. The short wasn't meant or intended at all to show that not listening to your parents or not making decisions results in homelessness or drugs, it was merely to show that small decisions have a large impact on how your life can play out. The opening scene was actually changed from the script because of how we ended up filming and what we had to play with.

    I do love how strongly you guys are reacting to it though.

  • @YellowUmbrellaFilms

    This film makes me angry in the same way seeing a racist video does. I guess part of my anger and offense is caused by the fact that on many levels it’s very well made and the idea of following someone’s alternative lives in split screen is fantastic, it’s just the implication of what the over all film is saying is like some Christian fundamentalist propaganda or rather an over protective parent wagging their finger at a child.

  • This is for the narrow minded, creatively disabled and happiness unable people.

    The same ones that start wars.

  • This video was assinine. 

  • so what you're trying to say by this film is that if you assume autonomy over yourself you end up a fuck-up and a bum on the street, but if you kiss everyone's ass and do whatever they tell you, you get ahead in life?

  • @qwertymanx23 Obviously.

  • @RenderingGlintFilms so you think that when people make choices for themselves and be independent, they die a lonely hobo?

  • @qwertymanx23 Obviously.

  • @RenderingGlintFilms that is so fucked up i can't even begin to explain. you must be a communist or something. are u telling me you've also never made a single choice for yourself in your life? you've always just kissed peoples asses and did what THEY told you? you have no self-respect. if people make a series of bad choices on their own, then yes, they will end up not so good. but being independent is a good thing, how can you not see that?

  • @qwertymanx23 what is wrong with you? does being a prick turn you on or something?

  • @LaurenceTuck how am i being a prick? by making this video, this dude is saying that if you make your own choices and be an independent person you'll become a fuck up! thats horrible! how can anyone say that? and then that other kid is all like "trolling fail" which i dont even know what the fuck that means but does nobody see that i'm trying to prove a point here? if a little girl goes outside when her mom tells her not to, that does not mean that she becomes a fuck up and a hobo!

  • @qwertymanx23 The message of the video is what you make of it. I called you a prick because you are becoming so enraged over your opinion although to be quite honest it's rather entertaining reading your maniacal comments. Please, lighten up! It is a piece of fictional work about two fictional paths of life for one fictional girl. It is not a factual representation of everybody, nor is it forcing you into one route or suggesting that life will turn out the same for you.

  • @LaurenceTuck ok its deffinitely what you make of it, right? because the guy who MADE IT actually confirmed that my interpretation of the message was correct. maybe if you actually did read my "maniacal comments" you wouldve seen that. and i understand it is all fictional. but that doesnt mean the message is fictional. and just because i'm expressing my fucking opinions does not make me a prick. but what makes YOU a prick is calling me that because i was expressing the first fucking amendment.

  • @qwertymanx23 I was being sarcastic because your comment was too funny.

  • @RenderingGlintFilms you should make that clear because people usually can't detect sarcasm from text.

  • @RenderingGlintFilms To be honest, I guess it's true. XD

  • @qwertymanx23

    trolling fail.

  • @JumpTheory how was that a fail?

  • @qwertymanx23 I think it's less what this is about and more what you took from it. I got something else.

  • @qwertymanx23 I was actually going to comment the same thing. I say the girl who went outside the house becomes more successful because she is independent. Freedom allows people to learn and grow whereas restrictions only shelter you from what's to come.

  • @harryinitiative THANK YOU MAN!! im glad one person agrees with me!

  • Comment removed

  • @qwertymanx23 Actually, I think this video made a good point. Do you suppose you could hold a good professional job if you don't take your boss seriously and don't do what he tells you to do? If you make a habit throughout your life to be rebellious and do what you want when you want, it could be hard to hold a good job when you're older. There is nothing wrong with submitting to authority.

    This video was about rebellion leading to destruction, not independent choices.

  • @NamelessTomato you have a good point but im not saying u shud tell ur boss to go fuck himself. im saying that everyone deserves to make their own choices. im not saying rebellious is a good thing. i mean it can be, but my focus is not on rebellion, its on individual freedoms.

  • @qwertymanx23 True. But even then, some people if left on their own do make awful choices. Its not bad to choose to submit to authority in most situations. I think that's the point this was trying to make. It wasn't saying you shouldn't think for yourself. The girl went outside because her mom told her not to. Then she took drugs (which is told to be bad everywhere you look.) Then she didn't get a job (implying it's maybe because of rebellious behavior). That's what I got out of this anyway.

  • @qwertymanx23 You tottaly heeded the point. If you dont listen to ADVICE given to you by an older wiser person, then you end up destroyed. But this was poorly shown with a poor example of "I dont want you to go outside"

  • The choices in life can make a world of difference.

  • moral of this!! ..dont go outside if its cold! lol sH*t im staying in now...

  • This is so stupid. Is it implying that because she as a child didn't blindly follow what people told her to do she is going to end up smoking doing drugs and homeless? that's just a little ridiculous.

  • @Megano17 Really it seems more about us making our choices and there are many outcomes

  • Loved this. Really well done. The HV40 produces great images for its price.

  • This is very interesting! 

  • now You now kids! dont have a social life! you could end up living on the streets!

  • lol, are you kidding me? This is ridiculous. I can't even put into words how awful this is. terrible acting, incredibly presumptuous story with no basis or value. The girl who was a go getter and did what she wanted in life gets a worse life than the one who passively submits? God no one thought this through.

  • OMG!! Its Angel and Its Queen E =O

  • well done, but the content is a bit cheap

  • @lordxenu666 How is the content cheap?

  • this was written by a class reject

  • Great short, like a grittier "Sliding Doors" where you never know what your choices will lead to. Nice work.

  • parents, if your kids go out in the snow this winter, they WILL become crackheads somewhere down the line.

  • Amazing! I liked every bit of it. Also the message!

  • think, it's a bit exaggerated, but still cool

  • Nice idea, terrible plotlines.

  • perhaps the one on the left should have ended up a fat lazy being who never went outside....maybe with a fetish for being told what to do....with no self motivation or creativeness. oh yeah...like the people who just allow everyone to tell them what to do will succeed in life(!). i dont know why this short video has made me rage....hmm...

  • @xJa6eRx

    Dude me too, probably cause I smoke and it doesn't affect my life in that way. Plus that first part where she doesn't listen and goes outside does not mean she'll do drugs

  • Comment removed

  • good implementation. crap story. come on...just because you don't follow what your parents say..you will fail at life? what tosh!

  • And that's why you should never think for yourself kids! :D

  • Ohh fuck you!

  • Brilliant film, regardless of how I disagree with its message.

  • wow. tht was awesome!

  • Hey, Why dont you do a long movie, Theres loads of competitions around i bet you'd win one, with a even more creative storyline you could get big. I loved the 2 sides and it was very well done.

  • so... if you smoke dope you go homeless, But good job.

  • reality.

  • I thought it was well made but the concept and theme were load of toss!

  • Very good concept.

  • I really liked your film.

  • what the s was that?

    its its.........FANTASTIC!

  • Great message. Thank you. Lots of people that I would like to see this.

  • pretty cool

  • wow very nice ..definitely a lesson to those youngsters who tend to think of themselces as the new g's around the block. a very creative way to convey a message so sensitively ...yet so bold

  • i like the concept of this short

  • wonderful !

  • whoa. that was cool and filmed very well.

  • Very interesting piece!

  • very clever, i like it :D

  • A bit more black and white than real life imo, but still a well done piece with a good message...

  • brilliant, this should be shown to kids at a young age to make them go in the right direction

  • That was brilliant!!!!

  • amazing.

  • AKA Amazing.

  • that is very optimistic and very true....

  • YAY Kurt! Another awesome film.... It was best the first time i saw it in social class on your laptop :) haha

  • Congratulations from Spain. very Good photo. I´ve got the jag35pro too, what kind of camcorder do you have?

  • We used the jag35st for this one along with an hv40, Thanks! :)

  • very deep

  • this video was GREAT!!!

    i love how you guys were able to portray the concept!

    we're actually dealing with how the choices we make early in life affect us in out future in my health class....i think my teacher should see it. i know she'd LOVE it :)

  • I love this!

  • Unbelievable. your videos are SO amazing.

    Awesome directing and acting. I night put this on my myspace profile, is that okay?

  • amazing (Y)

  • great :D

  • awesome concept and amazing production quality!! very inspiring!

  • moral of the story. if your kid doesnt listen, beat their ass

  • @MattShea369

    hahhahah...nice

  • @MattShea369 Hhahaha I just have to say...I love you xD

  • wish you could've made it longer =/ but awesome nonetheless ^ ^

  • I liked it, though I don't think the ocassional puff during highschool will lead to homelessnes. The concept was cool though

  • So epically epic. Shoulda been atleast 30 seconds longer though ;)

  • EPIC!!

  • i love it

  • So let me get this right. Making one decision to go outside on a cold day ruins your life, as well as drains the color from the world. I'm sorry, but this is crap.

  • Yeah I kinda agree with UncleHenry2010. I think there needs to be a stronger link. xD But the whole idea of how one little thing can change your life, good idea. Love how you had 2 worlds going on.....

  • @UncleHenry2010 Lol dude its just an exaggeration for a rebellious characteristic.

  • very interesting and well done boys!

  • This is officially my favorite RGF production, and it wasn't even directed by the Makan bros.

  • WHOA amazing!!! btw was that one scene at Queen Elizabeth?? cuz that was my highschool!!

  • @Gangster935 Haha yes it was

  • interesting.......

  • september 17, mah birthday :D

  • niiiiiice

  • Amazing short film, the storyline was perfect, editing, superb! I really enjoyed that! Well done, keep it up! 5*

  • wow that was very good! and short too. loved it.

  • very nice production value. great short guys.

  • Good lesson to be learnt here everybody. Next time my mom tells me it's too cold to go outside I'll listen... go get a jacket; then go smoke up.

  • @ParamnesiaMagic You should be good to go then HA

  • I dont believe in the idea that smoking up would make this character homeless, maybe an alternative subversion to the plot would make more sense.

  • Love the moral, gets me all pumped for a new semester starting monday! :)

  • 0:24 the girl on the left is hot =D

  • it's nice how each side of the story has a different feel to it. the left side is vibrant and lit with warm colors and the right side is dim and blue. took me a while to get the "cold" theme haha great job guys

  • nice man from ur friendly stalker franco chan

  • nice moral and great video

  • wow cool cool!

  • wow, great job guys!

  • This was a little stupid, the girl chooses to go outside but for some reason doesn't learn from her mistake and ends up being homeless?

  • @vejaji2 ends up being "cold"

  • Well, I like that idea but I just don't think you used situation in a realist way :l

  • or when she went out she met someone and they got her to start smoking and then she started hanging out with the "wrong" kind of people etc etc
