I am a friend of your dad's. We went to high school together and we worked together for years while in high school. He told me that you made films and I found this here on YouTube. I was impressed with what I saw...very nice work. Good luck in your future...by the way my name is Cesar.

What kind of camera do you use, and do you have a 35 mm lens adapter for it?

[deadbackman]

I don't own a camera, but most of this was shot on the

HVX-200 and the others were shot on either XL-2 and

DVX-100. No lens adapters were used.

You are incredibly talented, everybody is put on this Earth for a purpose,someone they shine at brighter than all others attempting to do the same, editing -- is your gift, and you use it to bless our eyes.

Every video of yours is awe inspiring, it makes us jawdropped in pure awe of how amazing the videos that you create are, and even more so the calibre of editing the creater has.

You are incredible.

Keep it up.

[identicalgamers]

How do you get it to look like a movie, the screen size? I have Adobe After Effects and I don't know what composition settings to put it on?

[deadbackman]

I shot it anamorphicly sometimes

[identicalgamers]

what is anamorphicly?

[deadbackman]

Anamorphic widescreen.... It's a type of lens that squeezes the image to a widescreen setting

[thriller126]

Hands down Nick you are my favorite director. other than Guy Richie, Tony Scott and Stanley Kubrick haha. I Cant wait till you make it big man. you got something going here. I hope one day you can look back and say "Thriller126 oh shit yeah i remember you, haha good man" Till then keep the magic rolling.

[mattydavid13]

Oh my geeze, this is one of, sorry the BEST Film reel ive seen on youtube in Years!

You are my inspiration and allways will be!

Keep it up mate!

-Matt

[deadbackman]

First of all I want to thank you all for your kind words. I certainly make my movies for people like you to enjoy. Secondly I would like to clear up the reason I don't upload my longer more pristine films. It is mainly the fact that I try and turn these films into festivals and unfortunately most fests don't take them if they're online....So I have to keep them off the net for that reason....I'm sorry to disappoint, but that's hollywood for ya...

Thanx again, and I hope you continue to enjoy.

[FilghiProductions]

Love all your work. Can you tell me if there are any screenings in Canada? I would love to see your films.

[Z0mbieKangar00]

nice work man, i agree that you should find a way to put your vids up, even if it isnt free, throw'em up on netflix and let us have a gander.
