The Egg

[Thedorpli]

You have got to be kidding me!!! a few days ago I had this great idea to make a movie on The egg, switching characters for the dead person, walking through a forest, I even had the boat! I was super excited about my whole idea so I decided to see if anyone else had tried to film "The egg"..... don't get me wrong, this was a really good version of it, the symbolism was magnificent! and while the acting wasn't the best it was still good, I still enjoyed the movie very much! Thanks for making it!

Guy in gray jacket with white v-neck was amazing...everyone else was...ehhh

[SuperTramP707]

is this not just an adaptation of the Chinese Creation story of 'Pan Gu'??

[DudeSpectre]

Great video, guys. I love the story, but just one criticism. If the girl is supposed to be the chinese girl from 540AD, which is a great concept, she should be dressed in period clothing and she shouldn't know who Abraham Lincoln is lol But otherwise great vid.

[piggiimii]

The girl can act better than that guy, Adam guy. And why did he put her hands on her? Lols.

[punkkitten63]

I love this story, and your interpretation was amazing. Good job!

[draugr7]

Great job! enjoyed the hell out of that!

[ColeonMusic]

I liked the music but it seemed a bit climactic in the wrong parts. Great job though. I really like your take on this.

[akjk1212]

Not gonna lie, the acting seemed a bit...forced. But it seems like with what you had, you did a pretty decent job.

[AfterglowFilms]

@akjk1212 Thanks! We definitely think that we could have done the film better…

[ToxicFaeries]

That was amazing you guys. I hope you don't mind, but l posted a link to this on my facebook.

[AfterglowFilms]

@ToxicFaeries No problem! Thank you.

[ScottCraigShorts]

Excellent interpretation guys

[AfterglowFilms]

@ScottCraigShorts Thank you! :D

[AfterglowFilms]

@WereFromTheCure Thank you so much! It's great to hear people enjoy our stuff. :)

[AndrewBeasley88]

what is the name of the song that plays in the intro? I know it but I cant place it.

[AfterglowFilms]

@AndrewBeasley88 It's the Hello Seattle remix.

I read this short story a little while back but forgot what it was called. You did an amazing interpretation of it, the music was just perfect, and In a way I feel this sort of theory/reality would be the ideal one. In that case everybody would be 'right' because it would be the same oneness just looking at life, through different facets of a shattered pane. Something confounding to think about but we'll never know until the end; which may very well be just another one of countless beginnings.

[AfterglowFilms]

@Raelsatu Thank you! We were really proud of the music choice as well.

[saschi333]

Great job, thank you!

[AfterglowFilms]

@saschi333 No, thank you!

[GollnerProductions]

Just read the short story, and I decided to look up if anybody had adapted/interpreted it into a short film. Seems I was beaten to the punch. Oh well, you guys did a fantastic job on this.

[AfterglowFilms]

@GollnerProductions Thanks for the kind words! There's always room for different interpretations. Don't let ours keep you from filming.

[Leviktuz]

This would be a really awesome video just with better acting

[AfterglowFilms]

@Leviktuz We did what we could with what we had. But yeah, I agree that we could alway have better acting.

[dfeuer]

I only see two of the three actors credited.  Who is the third?

[AfterglowFilms]

@dfeuer The third didn't want her names in the credits, initially. Because she's fine with it now: her name is Tracy.

[AperturezerO]

Love this interpretation. I am curious though; is the soundtrack a song by Stars of the Lid?

[AfterglowFilms]

@AperturezerO Thank you! The songs are by Brian McBride, who is Stars of Lids.

[cinemaparadisofilms]

my friend and i discussed the possibility of the story a couple months ago when i first read it, and i thought to myself, "what if 'the light at the end of the tunnel' you see when you die is just you coming out of the womb?" anyways, you did a great job, keep up the good work!

[AfterglowFilms]

@cinemaparadisofilms Thanks for the feedback… I think the light at the end of the womb would have been an interesting idea. I'll make sure to mention that with the others who worked on the film. — Ryan G.

[saber8689]

Well done, glad to see some great film makers at gssm.

Keep it up!

[AfterglowFilms]

@saber8689 Thanks for the compliments, man!

[TarheelLily]

I love the use of the dissolve.

Very well done. Indeed, I would even go so far as to say that this brought me cinematic joy.

[AfterglowFilms]

@TarheelLily Was it poignant, though? 

[crocket]

Love it.

[dancer7824]

That was good
