NYU Video Application

[Drocker55]

This video is really great ive been watching it since you first posted it years ago and i still find it funny

[freefallproductions3]

hahaha

[zurban587]

haha i liked it, i doubt this was the deciding factor in their decision. you seem pretty clever and witty. not a bad video. no offense but you must have had bad grades or something lol

[lindeeezy]

Haaaha!! I think you're hilarious and absolutely adorable. Come to the university of alaska anchorage I haven't laughed at a real-life human's remark in days.

[MandyDaniels]

I will never not lol when I watch this.

[NAGPProductions]

This may very well be the greatest video on youtube.

[EQXroX336]

very funny video... but you should have done a more serious video.

i enjoyed it alot though

are you going to another school?

[Jacoby87]

Brooklyn College for cinematography/direction, though I'm not currently enrolled this year.

I agree with what you said, I probably should have made as serious video, but I'm glad I did this because it was fun and I ended up being really happy with Brooklyn. If you want to see a "serious" film I did, watch Savage Alley, it was for Prod. I in Brooklyn shot on super 8. It's on my youtube channel.

I'm glad you liked this video though, thanks. :)

[insurrectionvidz]

hahahha I WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED YOU

[Asheseril24]

lol......you should have sent them a serious video....i dont think they have a comic side

[xxjustssmilexx]

HAHAHA

[ElectricRunner007]

i think the point where you said they were "a little bit stubborn" kept them from accepting you... admissions officers don't like that

if you took that line out, you probably would have had better chances because the film was otherwise good

NYU Tisch 2013

[Jacoby87]

I think my poor grades and lack of "real dramatic sense" is actually probably why I wasn't accepted, haha. But it was for the best.

[bluetubexd]

LOLOLOL!!

You're talking to NYU in a portfolio for it. Wooow. LOL.

[cchharlotte]

this is hilarious.

[MandyDaniels]

Haha, I just watched this again and I still find it hilarious.

[barclay086]

Once Chris Nolan passes the Batman series onto you and you are doing press for Batman Retires on The Late Show with Jimmy Fallon they will show this clip and NYU will say "ahh fuck!! i can't believe we've done this!"

[Jacoby87]

Haha, there was so much pop culture in this message I loved it.

And I'm looking forward to Batman Retires, even if the torch isn't passed to me for the project.

[Ignatius0J0Reilly]

This is hilarious! You obviously have a lot of potential, so best of luck to you!

[DJLEExx]

i see your approach on it...about being different, however, they are not interested on seeing your funny and comedic side, they want to see your skills in film! sorry you didnt get in, but applying to one of the top schools in the nation with a a homemade video isn't going to cut it. Hope everything works out

[Connor161]

"Irony is actually an adjective, which is used to describe a subject that has.... a lot of iron it. For example this shed here is veryy irony"

lol that was hilarious!!

[blakxzep]

That was horribly done, no wonder you didn't get in.

[Jacoby87]

Well, I mean the bad production is part of the joke...

Anyway, it worked out that I didn't get in. I go to a different school for film now and I love it. Plus tuition is $29,000 less than NYU.

[blakxzep]

But NYU being a prestigious college wouldn't appreciate a mindless comedy, they want some real crazy shit but where do you go now?

[theplotlessplot]

Hey, I liked some of the senseless humor on your video :P

It's too bad you didn't get in... Can you please tell me the film school you ended up going to? Thanks!

[sortilegus]

just kidding, this is still awesome

[sortilegus]

this is crap! i just vomited out a hamster!

FUUUCK YOUUUU!

[midnightalleyfilms]

this is funny as hell

[courtnakovia]

hahaha this is hilarious. cheers!

[iLov3s3XyMiCk3y]

i love this im going to precollege there and hopefullyin 2 years i get in

so did you get in? what are tha updates im totally rooting for ya this is dif. cool. fun its great.

[Jacoby87]

Hey, I'm glad you like it! It was fun making it, hopefully my friends and I can get some more videos out soon.

But as for NYU, I unfortunately didn't get accepted. :( I'm not sure what they thought of this video, but I don't think my grades made the cut as a transfer.

Good luck with the precollege and getting in in two years!

[cristelarcol]

its hilarious but um....you cant seriously submit that as an application right? dude its one of the top schools :P

best of luck tho

[kukhar]

It's so funny. I am a hard critic, really am (see other posts, lol), but I had nothing but smiles watching it. One comment: you should have used Playstation 2 guitar hero instead of real guitar, haha.

So did you get in ? Can't wait to hear.

[XxXLoves1haterXxX]

soo..did u make it

[Jacoby87]

actually ended up applying for summer semester. The admissions office said they send out the decision letter around May.

[tigercub1300]

u do look good in jeans! ha ha

[iLov3s3XyMiCk3y]

goodness gracoius i love thjis beyond belief i wish you success i want to go there

[meheh]

so what do you want to do in film?? where are you tranferring from? Do you know if Chapman or LA Film are good schools? I'm applying to those at the moment, haha. I don't know what I'm doing! haha.

[nikkiabi]

hahaha..this is an amazing and funny video!!! you definitely have the creativity and potential to succeed. best of luck in getting in and showing new york what you've got!! i'm taking radio and television at ryerson in toronto and am also thinking of transfering to tisch.

[wadingo]

Hey. Did you get in?

[Jacoby87]

I find out somewhere in November.

[solafekxela]

Any word yet?

[Jacoby87]

Hey, thanks for responding. I actually recently found out transfer students have to wait until the summer to enroll. So my new application deadline date is April. I'm reworking some of my essays, and I'll send it in soon.

Have you heard anything solafekxela. And after writing your username, I bet your real-people name is Alex Kefalos. Sweet name!

[solafekxela]

The name is Alex indeed. No word yet. I applied regular decision but by the early decision deadline, so it seems I won't hear for another couple of months.

[morpher910]

LOL. it's marty being random again. cool video hahahahaw.

[a9ballbr8k]

Awesome video Jake. Its your cousin Rob here. Hope you get in bro!

[a9ballbr8k]

Awesome video Jake. It's your cousin Rob here. Hope you get in bro!!!

[rocknsprock86]

Great job Jake, very funny!

NYU should take you based on the music selection alone.

-Alysa

[Jacoby87]

Thanks!

But yeah, the credits are so blurry because the video is compressed so much for youtube. The full version I'm sending is much better, the credits actually almost look cool on there. But not quite.

[sortilegus]

lol this is awesome. if they don't take you the internet is gonna be pissed.

[Jacoby87]

Yeah, so quality is 1/4 of original...

And also I'd like to mention I'm going for writing and NOT acting. Which is why I suck dongs at acting.
