[psoiyanimation]

bedziecie sie dotykac po cycuszkach:P

[johnnybrooch]

????!!!!

[psoiyanimation]

zartowalem:P

[johnnybrooch]

judging by your earlier comments and e-mails, I just didn't think it was actually YOU that wrote this one :)

[RufioJJ]

wow...i liked "mother I want a book!" but why did I not get this on my sub display?! and keep making videos please!

im going through withdrawls!

[johnnybrooch]

I'm making a video this very weekend :)

[hollyvillepictures]

you really look like moaning myrtle from harry potter.

[johnnybrooch]

I don't think that's a compliment :) but thanks :)

[ladylane7]

haha omg ur rite!!!

[johnnybrooch]

Should I be depressed?

[mrroomlounge]

i really liked it ( ';')b

[johnnybrooch]

:) thanks :)

[hotredsly]

boring

[girlxboyxgirl]

aside from the camera quality, this is great.

why did it get rated so low??? gah. people boggle me.

[johnnybrooch]

it's not really a "crowd pleaser". Maybe few people really understood it? :)

[beryk2008]

retarded

[rgm1984]

Creative. :) Well done.:)

[johnnybrooch]

thanks a bunch :)

[versaida]

Te pareces a Julieta Venegas :-)

[johnnybrooch]

Yo se! :) Eres la segunda persona que lo me dice. Que raro!

[suicidecrackers]

retarded

[Adoreyoo]

How do you get two of the same person in one video?

[johnnybrooch]

magic :)

But seriously, I use Adobe Premiere elements :) It's a good program :)

[theinspiredmickeyd]

Hey, I thought it was a nice effort, and funny in places, but the sound quality wasn't too good and sometimes it was a bit hard to here what was being said, but otherwise, nice film! :D

[johnnybrooch]

I know... the sound really sucks :( I don't really know how to get rid of that echo/ hissing sounds :( Thanks for the comment :)

[theinspiredmickeyd]

Hmm...do you use the microphone on the camera, because it'll pick up the tape rolling, giving a hissing sound. You could try plugging in an external microphone into the camera, just a suggestion. :D BTW, checked out your other videos, they're groovy, so I subscribed. :D

[johnnybrooch]

:) that's the other problem :) I don't have an actual camera :) it doesn't have a tape :) it's a photo camera with an option to make movies :)

But I'll probably get one for my b-day (in about 2 weeks :D ) so the quality will definitely improve :) but thanks for the tip! I will an external mic!

Oh, and I have a question! If I get a camera with those mini tapes how do I upload the movies onto my computer?

And another thing: Thanks a bunch for subbing :)

[theinspiredmickeyd]

Wow, really? :D Not bad quality for just a photo camera, most of the ones that record video that I've seen have sucky quality. It's pretty easy to upload footage from a film camera, just get hold of some decent editing software (Windows Movie Maker will do, or google for some free ones), then select the 'Capture' or 'Log and Capture' option. Then it's as simple as saving the movie you edit together from the footage of the camera, then uploading it. :D Hope this makes sense, I'm a little tired.

[johnnybrooch]

I use Adobe Premiere Elements :) But haven't mastered it :) Thanks for the tips! :)

[JarekKozal]

Once again, I think your video is very clever, and I am surprised that some people who belive themselves to be critics would cut you and your film down. Remember, constructive criticism is only constructive in the mind of the person giving it. Keep up the good work! I believe your film is worthy of being in the final ten, and I hope it wins.

[johnnybrooch]

Thank you Jaruś :*

[Prawninator]

I got reeeeally bored reeeeeally quick.

[Anduviel]

The acting was...too dramatic at times and didn't seem genuine. IMHO

[abecedarian123]

intertaining at best

mostly good :)

[VvEnR1kOvV]

you search: "cliccami mano"

it's a funny video ; )

[MrMosei]

I felt like I was sitting through a very lame cabaret performance.

[johnnybrooch]

I like the word "cabaret" in your sentence :P

[krsurf17]

that was so gay

[karaokestar78]

wtf?

[bal20981]

It was a bit too dramatic in my opinion. It reminded me off a cult film. It was strange. I'm not sure what to think of it honestly.

[johnnybrooch]

it was supposed to make you think about it :) So my mission is accomplished :)

[jannasc]

Hey Girl, good video, who do I vote in you?! I'll see you in Cannes!*lol*

[johnnybrooch]

you go to Vancouverfilmschool 's account and there is a box under the main video that says "vote now" you press that button nd look for my vid. then you click the "thumbs up" :)

You can vote every 24h as far as I remember :)

Muchas Gracias! :)

[AquaStarzGirl]

was this all one person? and this is soooooo funny love it i hope it wins

[johnnybrooch]

yep, all done by me :) The directing, editing as well :) I don't think I stand a chance :) there are so many good videos in the finals :)

[luispadua]

Dear johnnybrooch, your work is fantastic! Definitely one of the three best! I work in Mexican TV, and I wish we had people like you doing such creative stuff.

[johnnybrooch]

thank you :)

[johnnybrooch]

my other videos are better I think, though it is the first time that I incorporated Spanish :)

[Makaroniman]

Well, it wasn't a masterpiece, but i can't BELIEVE it only got 2 stars average!

4/5, and it deserved it =)

[johnnybrooch]

Thank you :) I tried to make it original :)

[thedreadpirateranda]

haha that's smart. a lot of people totally have no idea what's important in the their life and are looking for somebody to tell them. i think you really captured that without being obnoxious. that doesn't sound like a compliment but i mean it as one.

[johnnybrooch]

I would accept it as a compliment either way :) Thank you :)

[Creamella]

Haha! I get it. Great short film. =) keep up the good work! The world needs more people using their imagination and skills to create, more than ever it seems.

[johnnybrooch]

I wanted to create something original. I wanted people to think about the message of the video for a moment. I'm glad you did :)

[DRcampesina]

Antonio, porque? LMAO .. Classic!!!

[koguma71]

Horrible video, but I must say, I admire and respect your ability to take people's critiques. I wish you the best.

[johnnybrooch]

:) My other videos are better :)

[joyjoyooO]

well done, but i dont get how the book = what matters to you. =/ care to explain?

[johnnybrooch]

I would be glad to explain but could you please specify? :)

[ebk1337]

Didn't like the consept, but hey, that's just me ;) Keep on making vids and you will get really good.

[johnnybrooch]

thank you, I value your opinion :)

[krazykizza]

This doesn't matter to me. I don't like it. Audio bad, shitty quality of video even in High Quality. Music annoying, bad acting,

[johnnybrooch]

Thank you for your input :)

[krazykizza]

Im happy to shed some like on the horrible reality of some shit videos the crop up from now and again on the main page, your inclusive :)

[johnnybrooch]

I would never be featured if it wasn't for this competition. Besides, I'm trying to be polite and accept criticism. you on the other hand are now mean.

[krazykizza]

i on the other hand (The one that is not dirty) is using his rights and yes, exerting criticism no matter what way you take it... Hope you enjoy :)

[johnnybrooch]

I do.

[Skitari]

Great job. Good luck to you.

[johnnybrooch]

Thank you , you're one of the few people that actually like it :)

[Linzizzle18]

Cute kitty! :D

[johnnybrooch]

I know :)

[BoomHeadshot999]

This is an annoying video

[egal207]

There are better ones!

[andrewb58]

Stop blaming your crappy video on equipment.. go watch the entry about divorce. That was well made and it had no special effects, no expensive equipment, and no hardcore editing. All you need is a camera and Windows (which comes with its own editing program called Movie Maker, if you're really that poor). The point is to make something unique but at the same time appealing. I'm sure you wanted to make an abstract video, but you have to also appeal to the average person so they will vote for you

[johnnybrooch]

That one about divorce was great I agree. As for my video I had my own vision and didn't want to make it simple. To me it was unique, maybe not appealing but unique :)

I guess I'm not that good then. :)

Thanks for the comment :)

[andrewb58]

Comon, don't put yourself down, you make me feel bad for saying what I did. All I'm saying is, in a contest where people have to vote for you, make something for them, not for the creator of the contest. I'm sure someone somewhere would appreciate your short, but the majority of people won't.

[johnnybrooch]

I got to the finals, the VFS chose my vid for some reason so it can't be that bad :)

[KairiHawkeye]

Yes, yes really, what you need is just a proper equipment. Because the graphic took me back to the age of The Wizard of Oz.

[johnnybrooch]

that's not that bad! :D But seriously, making amateur (extremely amateur) movies is a hobby of mine :) If I have the cash to buy myself a proper camera and/or a better editing program I will do it :)

[andrewb58]

Wow that was horrible....

[johnnybrooch]

Shit happens :)

[HazardousN00bsInc]

...

[johnnybrooch]

I know I know...

[tdj444]

Sorry darling but there really was no message there whatsoever... The effects weren't that cool either. I hope you do good in your next one!! Best wishes...

[johnnybrooch]

I never intended to state something clearly like all the other videos :) This was supposed to be something different :) the effect of advertisements on people, it's brainwashing techniques. :)

But thank you for your comment :) I appreciate your opinion. :)

[DutchKlaas7]

I like it!

[johnnybrooch]

you're one of the few :)

Thanks!

[lumpheadwinch]

i'm sorry. but this is awful.

[johnnybrooch]

You made me laugh :)

Compared to all those other videos - it is :) I just don't have the proper equipment :)

But thanks for the opinion :)

[thescamel]

Hey, congrats on being in the top ten! Good luck.

[johnnybrooch]

thank you :) It's an honor to be with you in the finals.

[JarekKozal]

I must say that I am very impressed with your video. It has made me question what matters to me. If this was your intent, it has worked!

[johnnybrooch]

it was, but it was also a hidden message about advertising :)

[hollyvillepictures]

hmmm

[johnnybrooch]

YES?

[thomaspajamas]

Congratulations!

[johnnybrooch]

thx I was pretty surprised when I got the e-mail... :)

[hawkeye2145]

congrats, you made the finals!

[johnnybrooch]

I'm shocked just as much as you are! :)

[punkiedog]

I sent an E-mail to Naomi from VFS, and I also called VFS , seems like she is the one who is responsible for this competition project, and that is her response.

[punkiedog]

No one has been contact yet, they will announce it on May 20th, which is tomorrow! so Good luck!

[johnnybrooch]

are you sure that no one?

[Libi82]

Dzieki za radę, ale dopiero dziś odczytałem Twoją wiadomość. Będzie co ma być:) Na Vancouver się świat nie kończy:)

[sempliceecantabile]

delightful, jb, edited nicely, the short vignettes flow just right, your 'double' is woven in seamlessly (and delightfully) and it all ends with a subtle and delightfully-timed ending. I'm flattered you used something of mine in it. And I wish you luck with this and all your other work. Inspirazione! (good luck with your work!) M.

[johnnybrooch]

Hmmm... strange.. I answerede your comment... Why didn't it pop up? :(

THank you for everything Mark! :*

[aperaltadiaz]

this was pretty funny i think good job if you can pleses swing on down to mine and tell me what you think

[KoRnflakes000]

don't understand much about TV acting but if i compare it with that i saw/see on tv ..good job =)

[johnnybrooch]

thank you :) That's quite a compliment :)

[freebaker]

Hey kid, You got the goods.

[johnnybrooch]

[aledivn88]

[johnnybrooch]

[opchidexio]

Ahh! VFS = Vancouver Film School. I like the cat and ESPECIALLY the preacher. You speak multiple languages! Do you have a TWIN!!! Fantastic! hehehehe!

[johnnybrooch]

I learn Spanish so I incorporated it a bit :)

And I don't have a twin :)

[opchidexio]

I will have watch this again. Sorry. Too much beer. It's (hic) waaaaay past (hic) 5 o'clock. jk :P

[johnnybrooch]

a cold shower should do the trick :)

[opchidexio]

Ahh... That was a great idea. I'm much better now, thanks! : )
