Great short film Ien. I'm a student currently at UF and I have a short film project coming up, this really inspired me to think outside of the box for my own film! btw it was awesome that it was all one continuous shot, to the untrained eye one wouldn't even notice! People don't understand how difficult that is to nail everything in one continuous shot, I bet it took you quite a lot of takes to get it just right. Good luck on your future film endeavors!
This is so ridiculously cool! I love how it goes backwards and the storyline still makes sense even though it's going in reverse. (God... I think I just confused myself...) I'm a big fan of videos that go in reverse because the storyline has a weird non-linear narrative.
Have you seen the trailer for the game, Dead Island? It's in reverse too and uber clever. This video reminds me of this trailer.
your movie really touched me. it's so great. But why did you tell it from the end? Wouldn't it be better to do it in the right order? Am just curious about the reason why you did it the way you did it.
I would say this short film was amazing, but that would be a huge understatement. Honestly, you did an incredible job making this and the story is fantastically thought out. I re-watched it 6 times and each time I watched it, it got better. Truly amazing plot. And all in one take? Incredible. Kudos.
And I love the Steve Jobs quote at the end. I seriously cannot even express how great this film is.
pure genius concept. the film is a little tough to understand at some parts without watching the forward playing version. However the narrative was great.
Saw this at the finale. Absolutely incredible. Best short film I've seen in a really long time. Can't wait to see what else all of you will do in the future.
@flyflytothestars its about how in the face of death (he took "morphine pills overdose" and thought he'd die) nothing matters, every regret you have or feeling is the only thing that matters, greed, cowardice, reputation, indifference don't matter :) any better now? :)
I am a student of audiovisual communications in the University of Puerto Rico and one professor showed us this video to inspire our creativity. Props to you guys for the originality and great work. :)
This is fazinating, I actually downloaded it and played it backwards, I'm not kidding, this may be the best short film I've ever seen. And it's not like I've only seen youtube shorts, I own the whole cinema 16 collection, which has shorts from a young Steven Spielberg, or a Young Ridley Scott, but this is great.
