Mirror, Mirror on the Wall | Project Direct 2009

[LNFsinceXCII]

I'd like to take that experience.

[Chrizzy210998]

It's actually really creepy. Seeing yourself in the mirror and seeing the truth.

[missidkmybffjill16]

I'm a filmmaker myself and I remember watching this video a year ago. I've never forgotten it. Today I finally decided to search for it again... It's even better than I remember. Amazing job!!!

[MRgregoulo]

WOW!!!!!! I am just amazed..... It's not just a GREAT video.... It is also very inspiring.... Such a great idea..... It worths every single second!!! Your own sign in the mirror would be "TALENT"!!!!

[huskyjerk]

Intense!  Captivating! Suspenseful!

[ResoundingMusic]

That was intense! Well done!

[12cwatson150833]

This is such a strong video! It is perfect for my Sylvia Plath mirror project:)

[AGedgeProduction]

Very cool. Very, very cool.. You should have done a clone video. Showing the mirror and person at the same time. Using a mask layer, I did it in Adobe After Effects. I have a video on my channel about cloning. But really, that's the only thing you could have improved. I loved it. 5/5.

[TugBoatest]

I don't get it, but I get it.

[TheMerinight]

man, this is strong...congratulations!

[Parafresia]

Great work! It's an inspiration to see such creativity. Well done. :-)

[novalights]

Oh my god. The lighting, the tones, the score! Beyond words. Truly a masterpiece of short film!!!

[CMpoy23]

This video is amazing

[Eh2thaZ]

I remember when I first watched this a couple years ago and I thought it was just the most brilliant thing ever.

[thescarletrogue]

Very well done! I loved the camera angles and how you did each shot of the props and then the person in the mirror, great subtext there as well. What type of camera did you film with? I’m currently going to school for filming and am curious to know.

[totoliciu]

This is a MEGAVIDEO!

It's superb!

Sincerely Congratulations for the people that created it!

BRAVO!

[Droege1001]

I think they should have named this "Truth". It would tie in really well with the end.

[fireflyms]

This is amazing! Great editing & greaat story line. I really enjoyed it.

[bombonasecino1]

Valentina  nooooo

[bombonasecino1]

[TheMooMooCows]

DA MIRROR OF HAX

[donaldf1000]

one of the best short movies i've ever saw!

Congratulations!!!

[Sal0ry]

Wow, how sad this film didnt win, just proves more how dumb america is these days, How can people vote for other fims, the fact that the acting was poor, bad directing, and fairly bad quality, and most of all, the scripts and acting are not even original, all scripts and acting are pretty much stolen from most movies, none of the other winning films are even original, and i have to say Mirror Mirror deserves the best. ppl who refused to vote for Mirror Mirrior are just religious idiots. Mirror#1

[juxtapos99]

i likes, i likes

[tommymimie]

cool

[combird88]

wow! i luved it.

[pelincakelander]

azum :D

[Metlenko1]

amazing vid

[Sircell77]

Beautiful video, Brooke.

The way I see it, the painter didn't notice because he was too self absorbed into his paintings to take the time to examine himself. He's not any more of a 'good guy' than the others, if he's too far into his own world to care for others.

It's odd but... I sort of wish that I had one of these mirrors.

[FaliggetFTW]

I'm a troll. Just to clear up. I'm aetheist, not trolling. This is a load if stupid Bullshit. Since when was hate a sin. Also where's lust and gluttony. Why the fuck does a painter represent pride? If he can't afford to wash his brushes in his own sink how would he be prideful? He doesn't dress like a professional painter, more like an amatuer. Gayest vid on YouTube! That should be in the tags list.

[MapleMusicVideos]

@FaliggetFTW who said it had anything to do with the 7 deadly sins dumb fuck it just said truth mirror not your 7 deadly sins mirror dumbshit

[phoenixangel1120]

@FaliggetFTW galations chapter 5 verses 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

[snakesarejealous]

AMAZING

[selena7136]

that stupid

[bellyboy128]

it was confusing at first but i like it alot there was no point of not 5 staring it or favoriting it

but the guy that had pride was he the good one or something?

[lilmissnisa]

No, the reason he didn't see himself was because he was too prideful in his work and wrapped up in it to even glance up and see the reality in front of him.

[onneton]

strange, but i like it somwhy!

Please call ambulance. five star

[sebkhetsabur]

you notice the guy who looked in the mirror and saw lust...then when he looked out the mriror to wash his face it wasn't their,because that is real thing the mirror is not of goD,IT MAGIC....DON'T MESS WITH IT FOR REAL..WHEN I DID IT I WAS SELFISH...THEN PEOPLE STARTED DRAINING MY ENERGY AND I REALIZED IT WAS DEMONIC...STAY WITH JESUS

[Coralcupcake133]

what was the point in thatr?

[sebkhetsabur]

THE POINT IS DON'T LOOK IN THE MIRROR TO LONG IT IS DEMONIC MAGIC CALL SELF REALIZATION...I did it serveral times...their was no words on my head but their is a voice (devil) that you here and it opens you open to a world you don't want to be a part of...i went runnig back to jesus after i realized what i done to my self...i found that i was selfish

[tacticalnudge]

I've spent HOURS trying to find this video. I watched it once and was stupid to not favorite it. I love this video so much, very good, thank you

[rominceko]

awsome, it makes you think,,,

[sebkhetsabur]

have u every looked in the mirror? don't do it, it a demonic trap to drain your energy (life force) trust me i been down that road

[EllionVcall]

awesome, wow

[SACHIinWONDERLAND]

great !

[Movie81movie]

whats the name of the song?

[12345topman]

lol wanted to watch the video of the song mirror, mirror on the wall but got interested in this, wikid clip its joke ;-)

[SINsation69]

Excellent movie....powerful message...I love it.

[AnthonyACCF]

that was amazing :) thanks :) really really gooood!!

[amazinginspiration]

Wow Nice!!

[Namaechan]

Yay for personal flaws. Think about it. Who really wants "perfect"?

Fave: Mr pride. There's no shame in pride. So he just walked right out again. Arrogance is a nasty one, though. /I <3 Sloth

[eristef]

Good good.

[needknot]

insane. last scene with the envy woman turning her back full of sinner notes is the bestest! well done!!

[sambam007]

nice movie well shot

[AlexStanski]

And I bet it had cost you next to nothing to make. Such a powerfull message in five minutes.... I love the music and the arrangements also...

[DJgodrocks]

I bet it cost them a lot... a lot of work went into this video and the score was composed originally... that family has a lot of money though

[MuzikFreakxoxo]

I love the directing!! Just sort of dislike the storyline ... Music choice is brilliant though.

[stevtkd1008]

CHRISTIAN PROPAGANDA......Ya better wake up and smell the coffee before you wont have a chance to.....

[MrModernNinja]

Haha I agree... the best part is at the end when you realize there is no god.

[acupoftea123]

This is well done, but it´s a big shame it´s used for Christian propaganda.

[Rocafile]

wtf is this shyt

[mwdiers]

Preaching sinners right into despair, and offering them no hope.

"By the Law is the knowledge of sin." But what comes next? "But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe."

Do not leave people in despair. Give them the Gospel. Otherwise, any sorrow they have over sin will be a sorrow unto death.

[eil14]

why don't you make your own movie? It's bad enough that the world slams Christians but worse when Christians slam other Christians. Nice one!

[mwdiers]

Slam? You should rather be concerned with whether I wrote the truth.

Preaching the Law without offering Christ is preaching people into hell. I am more concerned about the poor sinners who are offered no hope. Would that you were likewise so concerned.

[jodurani]

Deep.

[AstroMen2911]

oh come now, the seven deadly sins?

[MuscularRock]

What an emotional story!

[maddie1201]

awesome job is was great editing and everything wow is all i can say

[betterthenyou744]

i shure hope not

i would totally go see this w/ my friends!

[bookworm645]

that was so cool!! is it really going to be a movie? i hope this wasn't just a tease!!

[buckweed15]

this was entered into a film festival contest. It was only a short film.

[fredkhambatta]

beautiful.......continue the good work.

[lovetosing14]

ps,

i just watched this again

and got chills

ahhhhhh so good :)

[tcool700]

well u know what i dont get this movie or video someoe tell me!!!!!

[imagery12]

"a little water clears us of this deed" - Lady Macbeth

that was amazing.

[djde8748]

awesome!

[sunflower3600]

That was really effective!

[MoonaddictedAngel]

This is brilliant.

[who0ligan]

wow

[dschibril]

i dont know much about art but this short-movie is really impressive, the camera perspective, the in-time use of music and the finale with the enlightened truth. i'd definetely buy your artwork, if you produce something!

regards from frankfurt

[RedThaMC]

Brook,

Glad to have met you at the producer's conference. Good job on the short. Thanks for proving that you can do so much with so little.

A-yia

[CoUnTrYmUsIcFrEaK]

WOW! That was absolutely amazing! This should have won!

[CorianderBrooks]

It's very good. I like the way that 'pride' doesn't even notice his reflection and the ending with 'envy' is good too

[popaddict]

I was going to say that as well. Not looking at his reflection and being unaware of his pride. Worked really well. The entire piece wasquite well acted.

[nillepip]

Wonder... what it would have said in my forehead !

[33SaAAam]

nice

[simsclock]

awesome! what time of video camera did you use?!

[lukeskywalker267]

we used a Red 1

[babytempr]

um will this be made into a full length film??

[simsclock]

WOW! amazing video. you are an awesome director and editor! what editing program did you use to edit the video?!!

[VermeerGirl12]

I'm glad you liked it! Thank you very much! However, I was not the editor. It was edited by Nick Hegge. He used Final Cut Pro 6.

[kingkhameleon]

maybe there is a way to create something like that. through some voodoo and witchcraft, as well as an alliance with vengence seeking spirits. it'll take some work, but truth shall be revealed!

[spazzyvampire56]

i've seen this before and i loved it.

[Rhiaa01]

a very profound story line

with religious under tones,

I like :):)

[mbuckm01]

Good job... can I buy a CD with the sound?? and or the video???

[Beich484]

Despair and anxiety often arise when we stop to meditate regarding our state as a self. One kind of despair occurs when a person wills not to be the self they actually are. A deeper form of despair occurs when one wills to be the self they are not--which takes a lot more self-reflection. The deepest form of despair is when one wills to be the self they are not, but hypocritically refuse help they know could be possible from consulting a friend or an infinite source.

[RageicaNiels]

where can i get this video?

[xMaryxBethx]

This is a great video. I also looove the music in it.

[vdbroek79]

That was really great!

[isolatedflee]

wow!dats an awsm concept

i loveeeedd it

[realmahadeo]

wow, what a great movie. what's the soundtrack?

[VermeerGirl12]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. John Doryk composed an original score for this film.

[cheesestrings]

I really loved this, it is brilliantly put together, I wanted so badly for this to win Project Direct

[kast0071]

the sound guy distorted the film, but it was cool.

[Shrankenhiemer]

Nice film! There's a serious message in this one.

[snipee911]

That was brilliant. Really like RED, can't wait for the Scarlet and Epic to be released. But there is no narrative. It is sort of like when Patrick Stewart talks about his movie on "Extras", just clothes falling off of women. Great idea as well. And if there is in fact narrative, you failed to communicate that to the viewer COMPLETELY. Saying your audience is too dumb to understand is something a story teller should never have to say. Reminded me of "Black Button" but that, had more story. 5/5

[Skyblueginger]

Great ideas. Sound a bit loud/ distorted.

[emo2106]

.......

[jimjimmyjames59]

Plot?! There is no plot. There is an idea, and a good too, but it doesn't go anywhere. And while the music is beautiful, it's sheer volume only underscores it's desire to manipulate the viewer. Terrific idea. I wish the end result were as great.

That said, I'm still glad it's on here.

[parkvillepictures]

If only there were more films like this on YouTube...

[aznmaplemaster]

if its just a few.... instead of 7 ppl of the same thing.. which gets boring and repetitive... then it'd wouldve been a winning film

[sandrozanello]

For me, this is the best video for Project Direct 2009. AWESOME! Congratulations!

[anacostia01]

cool!

[16dreamy16]

omg i LOVE IT I LOVE THIS video

it's brilliant

and the music was awsome matching with the plot

keep up the gud work mate

[SweatyLumberjack]

Great vid. That was one of a kind.

[spongebobandsandra]

this video really spoke out to me... im glad i watched it

[yeapsystar]

GREAT video! SO TRUE!

[cheat123]

i wonder wat it says about im not any of those things so

[investology]

no "What" did

[investology]

Not "Chicken came first"

Not "Egg came First"

But "What came First"

[yeapsystar]

I think that GOD came first to make both ;-)

[enjoixander]

Intersting take. But sometimes when people consult mirrors they see distortions of their true selves. Such as funny mirrors that are designed to force a specific distorted perception. Not everyone sees that satan has a huge hand in the designs of sinners. To continually look into mirrors rather than the creator is vanity as well.And if people are continually shamed by former sins this is can be a control tool to further increase sins.

[iLikeGoodMusak]

This is a Great Video. You all should check out Vthov's music. Finally someone speakin some real shit. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" He makes great music.

[Slevin958]

Try using some stock backround audio or padding the walls next time. Your shots are in to small of a solid room so the sound is really bouncy. As well the theme of two characters getting out their cell and chatting? Where does that lead?

[nnylhobbs]

U did not pay attention, there were not 2 characters who used cell phones! U missed what it was all about!

[Slevin958]

I just watched it again, Deceit whips out her iphone on exit. Where Slander who comes right after, enters using a cell and exits happily with her cell. "Truth" apparently had no impact on either of these teched out happy go lucky individuals.

[felipepumas]

i didn't really liked it

[mekhiah87]

Dang that girl that did deceit was really good. Great music too!

[kjbova]

Awesome! just what i needed to see. I was just looking at James 1:22-25

[txoskar]

dare or true init

[snaggingvoodoo]

pretty nice vid

[Aikia222]

Really great , creepy but good great cinematography and editing could have had more clear of a point though, kinda got lost for a bit there.

[IlovemycatMaria]

I don't know many big words, but this was kinda creepy. But it sends a good message. Lust, it's bad, think about what you want(aka lust for)...But they did miss some good ones, such as crimes that seen everyday. Yes this is "Christian baloney" But good Christian Baloney with a message. Think about it. I suggest you read The Bible for once. It could save your life.

[Siglark]

Although, it looks amazing and has excellent cinematography.

[Siglark]

Wow. Let's talk about tired stereotypes. The ice queen must be envious, the latino ladykiller must be lustful, the young are materialistic, the old spinsters tell rumors, artists are so full of themselves. How about creating something new and interesting rather than parroting the prejudices and stereotypes that we are already bored of.

And what was with the music. "THIS PART IS INTENSE!!" "THIS PART IS ALSO INTENSE!!" "NO, WAIT, THIS IS EVEN MORE INTENSE!!" Give me a break. This was awful.

[PayItForward4Others]

Hi everyone. If you want to generate lots of great wealth in your financial situation and work from home please visit my page.

Thanks for your time

[IlovemycatMaria]

What the hack?! This has nothing to da with the movie! I understand your reson for you youtube account but seriously man...

[Somnophilia]

Omg! Amazing!

[xxkalaveraxx]

I really liked the cinematography, I felt that the theme was a little off though, it started off as though it was going to be the seven deadly sins and veered off at the end. well done nevertheless my mirror image would be super fucked up.

[josierosales68105]

haha it was kinda creppy in the bigging haha

[montrose252]

More to the point: This is Christian baloney.

[montrose252]

Beautifully shot film. But gives an awful message. The seven deadly "sins" are a medieval idea; they are irrelevant. Besides, both Gluttony and Sloth are ignored. Why?

[eil14]

note to montrose252...if the message is "irrelevant", like you say, then why did it bother you enough to post a message?? Typical! Face the fact that truth is NOT irrelevant. "Christian baloney"?? Ok, so centuries of millions of people (Christians) got it wrong but you in 2009 got it all right!? Also, you really should get your facts straight, this film wasn't done with the "seven deadly" sins in mind. You assumed and you know what that makes you!!!!

[Gforcevidsymas]

that was amazing, well thought out, and just plain genous

[Qu1mm3]

amazing

[2AlkAlina2]

Great idea!

Amazing movie...

[ohmyang]

amazing movie!

it truly shows someone's hidden insides.

[jeffworshipshim]

Great video! love it...

[Cacity87]

I wish this video won! It was the best, in my opinion.

[bratbecky1992]

interesting

[XxFleurDeLisexX]

I wished this one won instead of perfecto. this has really great acting!

[melleababe]

sweet as!

[metalica09]

nice!!

[Dmprod]

good work!

[MaxMarshal]

Great work. The tension is built and held beautifully. The music is perfect... original for the film?

[wyty2004]

Great Film! It's good to see some of us aren't afraid to express ourselves.

[Kagome19874]

awsome sorry i didnt see it in time to vote on it for you

[shaundis2117]

im sorry i missed the vote, awesome vid

[bmillz3811]

shots were great, acting was good, music was even better. Story was pretty lame. After the first 30 seconds you knew the entire story and it wasn't particularly original. Seven, all the saws, etc...have already ran the "sinner" plots dry long ago.

[drunkenironrabbit2]

very powerful~!

sorry i didnt see it in time to vote on it for you. truely awesome

[ela27053107]

very good

[niobey]

Amazing!!!

[trucker47]

Very Interesting.

[sweetgirlonbeach3]

Very thought provoking. Well done and intense and kudos to the actors as they had to carry it off.

[Snowflake70]

You've made a big splash here. I hope you are prepared for what comes next...

Congratulations.

[elphaba05]

This was so amazing! I love how, even when the people tried to hide their sin, it showed up in some other way, like a price tag, dollar bills, or multiple wedding rings. It gave me chills. Very well done!

[Glock9999999]

You get the same reaction from a mirror that shows you zits.

[gearofduty2012]

dude that was hella cool...5 stars

[oBLACKCherryo]

Amazing! 5*

[LilDEvilz]

Excuse me, where can I find this mirror of truth?
