[BST510]

[mrslabeouf08]

this was two years ago at our school, the 2009 one was really sad, i wished they posted that one up too! go northgate!!! (:

[fangyboy123]

How do you make it so long?

[GuavaFilms]

Used to be that some encoding expertise worked around the duration limitation - however YouTube recently changed the rules - now it's 10min max no matter what.

[momoney925]

this one was better..

[GuavaFilms]

any idea who did the video you didn't like as much?

[GuavaFilms]

Thanks, we put alot into these E15M projects. Doing another in a few weeks. I heard Northgate just did theirs again - how did our video 2 years ago compare with this year's video?

[Daredemon]

Damn, my high schools wasn't any where near as good as this one.

[susanandcurtis]

dont let teens drive if there going to drink

[preppybella]

this is such a good video.

i participated in my schools E15M and i balled so ard and the hardest parts for me where the letter writing anf having the parents write letters and seeing your friends die. but my school hasnt posted out e15m. but its a great program

[deadbeatdads08]

Wow!! I'm still crying. Great Job!! All teenagers need to see this.

[MirnaMicko]

:( It's sad...

TNX for posting this video...

[bbgroove]

I participated in Every 15 minutes. I was one of the kids that died... freaking made me ball like crazy at the after assembly when our parents had to write a letter like we were actually dead...

great vid (^_^)

[GuavaFilms]

Thanks bbgroove. So you were one of the living dead shown at the end of the video with their tombstones?

[bbgroove]

The one at my high school yeah...

we do it every other year three days before Prom.. I remembered it happening my freshman year, so I was pretty pumped to participate when I was a Junior.

best program I;ve ever had the honor of being it, the best!

[SIMIHIGH2008]

i wish you could of flimed at my school

[GuavaFilms]

Thanks - what school? Maybe I could talk with them sometime about doing it in the future. I've got another one coming up this year - keep your eye out for it when it posts and enjoy. Should be good, as always we're doing new things in the project!

[SIMIHIGH2008]

yeah i went to Simi Valley High School ( like my user name lol)

[Gatorz58]

This one really hit home! I am the Mom of 5 beautiful children. Some of which are of legal drinking age and 1 that is a senior in high school this year! I hope that anyone out there watching this wakes up and pays attention to all that they do...don't make someone else pay for your mistakes!

[tydogg]

Really dude? A Chanel earring?... ;)

[vale31th]

niceeeeeeeee¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡video

[tokiohotellistener]

Wow!!!

[TokioHotelUSAFan]

WOW! This is a wake up call everyone needs to see!

[WCD73]

I agree,hopefully this will convince people to not drink and drive!!!

[justfilmit]

This is pretty cool. We do something like this in Texas except its called shattered dreams. Its on my channel if u want to check it out.

[justfilmit]

Hey this is pretty cool. We did something like this in Texas except its called shattered dreams. ITs on my channel. You should check it out.

[DeebaFilms]

Wow, you guys had so much goin for yah. Bet you had a lot more time than us. We had horrible actors half a week to shoot and edit prolouge and 12 hours to shoot and edit crash,hostpital and notifications. I also notive u had a boom and steady cam. Don't know why we didnt use ours, o wait i remember the administration f'd us and we had to time to plan anything. O dude you guy were allowed to go in the chopper not cool. They made me stand like 20 feet from the chopper.

[JadedBeauty86]

Wow. I'm speechless.

My school just did Every 15 Minutes last week. It wasn't quite the same.

I find this video was very impacting on the subject. You got each view individually, and it was so powerful.

[xmandyxbabyx]

i just watched the one done by my school in my health class today its not on youtube but after the video, it shows the students that died and they are in the gym talking to the shchool acting like they are dead and their parents are there and they each wrote a letter to their families saying like im sorry i never got to tell you how much i love you

[GuavaFilms]

Most schools that I know of do the same thing at the assembly. That part is typically included on a separate video.

[Xenocide33]

Ours was pathetic. They had the crash staged on the football field, so fake.

[daxoo2]

our school did it on a highway my middleschool had a gas leak so we went home early and i saw it

[blackmarket0024]

We just had this stupid thing at my school, it's so boring and fake. The only thing I learned was to not let women drive because both of the drivers were women. <---True that.

[GuavaFilms]

Too bad your program wasn't realistic enough - that's why Guava works really hard to make things realistic.

We just completed another E15M project, "Every 15 Minutes Livermore-Granada High Schools" yesterday. The feature video should be posted on YouTube soon.

[DFDR57]

Thanks for posting this video. After being in EMS for a few years and seeing what you see its always good to see things like this to encourage teens not to drink and drive.

[OhhSoohXc]

My school did this on friday.

its sooo surreal that I could barley take it.

just my friends being in it made me cry.

i dont even know what i would do if it was real.

[volcompants]

This touched me deeply.

Im 13 and now know drinkning is not cool it leads to death.

On sunday my friend died from drunk driving.

And today we had 10 of my best friends "die"

It opened my eyes.And i thank you for making this video it means so much too me.

[GuavaFilms]

You are welcome. It's amazing how alcohol effects the choices we make - choices we would never have made when sober. You have learned what millions of people twice your age don't know! thanks

Our next E15M video is shooting in a couple weeks, should be posted by the end of May.

[Aipom12]

I just had the funeral thing at my school today

[vballgurl789]

we had this at our school

i think our program was much stonger at least our video

we had a school of over 1000 all dead silent after a video...that ushally never happens

[GuavaFilms]

cool - 1000 silent says alot. hope the message sticks!

[schwiaud]

I'm a really strong believer in this program after they had it at my school, it really can saves lives, I seems like kids here took the whole scene thing more serious than kids at our school did, things like this really does happen, and I also like how the kid that wasn't planning on drinking at all became the drunk driver, goes to show u it really can happen to anyone.

[ShadowoOfBlood]

I do not feel sympathy for people who get drunk then get into a car, then get killed, in fact i lol@them. Now if they were killed by a drunk driver, I have sympathy for them, but for people who are dumb enough to get into a car with a drunk, nope no symapthy.

[coolcatjojo]

I was wondering if that party scene was filmed in a class room.

[GuavaFilms]

Actually, it was shot at the local Police Station. We did the best we could with what we had to work with.

[daxoo2]

what is the song in the begining

[GuavaFilms]

The Galactic Cowboys sang all the songs. They were really cool to give special permission to use the songs for the scenes. I felt like the lyrics went perfect with the story line, etc. The first song is called "Easy to Love" from their Machine Fish CD. Lots of GC music available on iTunes!!!

[Passionateactor01]

I am doing this also at my school. I am the person with their legs pinned in the back seat. We are doing it on May 1st, 2008 and it's prom night themed. I saw it freshman year of my high school years and it totally opened up my eyes to how careful i need to be on the road. "Driving is the most dangerous thing we do everyday"... <<< that's what my dad HAS SAID TO ME FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS. Ity's helped me to be careful! Thanks DAD!

[heavenciel09]

oh wow, I would really like this program to come to my school

[Zukoluver5]

oh, wow. their make up looks so real!

[OoConcreteGirloO]

my recent ex played the drunk driver who got sentanced...i effin cried...the look on his moms face was so terrible...he would never do that.

[Nlawincal7]

I am one of the victims in the accident, and the cameraman is the reason everything came out so perfectly. It was an amazing experience and it was all so real cause all the characters fit us as we are in real life. Every school should do this, life altering experience for sure.

[OoConcreteGirloO]

ours was based on prom night

[OoConcreteGirloO]

ours was based on prom night

[Nlawincal7]

I was in the accident, I am one of the four in the scene and it was the craziest experience of my life. Afterwards everything settled down and things went back to normal but for a week after i just didnt feel like myself. By the way...let me know if anyone needs an acting gig, i obviously got it covered

[lalalei2001]

My school, as far as I know, hasn't done it. I think they should.

[fishman2448]

Good video all our school does is the accident part no video and they don't take the kids to the hospital or jail I just became a volunteer firefighter so i get to help this year

[seterry]

man, northgate gets steadycams? we don't get those.

[GuavaFilms]

What's your school?

[ayamehanachi]

i saw it last year and my senior friends got to witness this...It was sad

[gsvetcos]

We had ours at College Park High School today! it was touching.. some lady fainted as it got too emotional for her (Due to an incident with drunk driver and her son). And they actually ended up really using one of the emergency vehicles to transport her.

I liked the helicopter part. we didn't have any video though, it just went straight to accident scene.

[GuavaFilms]

Yeah, they usually have paramedics there just for the crowd just in case. Too bad you guys missed out on the video part! At least you got to watch this one~

[Toltendo]

I go to College Park as well. I did see the presentation and I was touched, but ironically, there was this one jerk who was giggling and snickering throughout the whole show, which I got emotionally frustrated. Even the second day, the same thing happened. Anyway, I did bring a camera to film it, but even more ironically, my friend told me not to film it because of someone selling the DVDs to this, but I didn't know what he meant and I also got to sit next to him the next day.

[lisna]

this is my high school and my classmates. i never actually saw it because the previous year i actually lost a good friend to a drunk driving accident so i decided not too go cuz it would be too much for me. im proud of my classmates though. yay seyi and lissy you rocked

[konosan021]

this was brilliantly made. well done

[54spiritedwill54]

VERY well done!

[ShadowHatori1]

My school just did this last week. It wasn't as good as this one with all the make-up but it was still very emotional and definately made an impact.

[fooodlover88]

cool your school dose it too i though we were the only one.

[wafflemaker455]

awesome video.... My school is doing that this april... but at least this time they told us it was a set up... when my brother went to my school, they didnt say it was fake, and everyone flipped out....

some kids needed therapy, even.

[inddinc]

That was so awesome. This should help kids see the reality of drinking and driving. Amazing 4 angle view of people and what really happens after an accident.

[GuavaFilms]

thanks. the 4-angle simultaneous scenes were necessary to keep the video length down. as you saw in the last half of the video, each scene was packed full of action - impossible to catch everything in only one or two views. On that note, I must say that all the professionals were completely cooperative and very supportive to our realistic scenes approach.

[AJJ619]

dose the person who is the "drunk driver" do they acctully go to jail or what happends to them

[GuavaFilms]

Yes they are taken to the Police Station and held until their parents arrive. As you saw in the video towards the end, it's very impacting for all involved.....including the cameraman!

[CaliBaller7]

yeah my school just did this

[GuavaFilms]

cool. what school? did they post the video?

[macjezzy420]

i had dis at my school i waz in cncord high school

[WATUP1971]

Are all the kids at the end kids that really died in an accident?

[GuavaFilms]

Not in this video. Some videos show photos of actual victims at the end. This video shows the kids that were "the living dead" in the program (they're the pale-faced kids wearing black that unveiled the crashed cars at the accident scene.

[justmoviebay]

no no they not die,the police and the shcool

put tother the 15 min polren.

[chellykt]

wow! this one is GOOD! very realistic. you guys did a really good job on this one. you should watch ours sometime.

[whizkidforte]

Gaither HS in Tampa, FL, my nearest metropolis, did this last year. I want Jefferson HS, my school in the same city, to do so likewise in the 2008 prom season.

[babygirl2882]

I really want to do this for my high school...

how can i get info on how to do this?

[GuavaFilms]

A good resource to begin with would be the official Every15minutes website.

[STiNABAByy]

W0W U GUyS DiD A REALLy G00D J0B 0N THiS. i LiKED H0W U DiD THE AFFECT 0F ALL THE CHARACTERS T0 MAKE iT SEEM M0RE REAL.

[hawkeyesm1]

Very good, touching video. I really liked the slow effect you did on the kid driving the SUV to show his slowed reactions.

I was the one driving the truck in the MHS video. Thanks for your comments on it.

[ABE1958]

our school just finished this program yesterday! it was definately an experience not to forget

[jdhowerd]

our school did this a few weeks ago

hella intense

[Missystar07]

oh man we did this at our school and i was crying like crazy....my sister was one of the victims...was really hard. Good work

[KritterHC]

VERY well done!

[sarablue123]

dude that video rocked harder then led zeppelin from the 70's. It was so real it made me sick. Keep up the good work every 15 min team.

[GuavaFilms]

thanks sara. i wanted a realistic storyline that lets us get to know each character so their choices are more believeable. the result is more impact at the crash scene, etc. the students were awesome as well, some of the scenes STILL mess me up when I see them.
