  • why did they have to kill the girl!!!!!????

  • next thing you know, he barphs right next to a hot chick!!!! FAIL!!!

  • Hello i'm french and i try to create a short film post apocalyptic with 0€.please look and subscribe ^^

    tape "MILTAKE" in search bar thx :)

  • Bad acting. Camera angles were a bit boring. Good camera but every scene went by too fast, fast talking, no tension built up in each scene. No offense man but I'm trying to point out the reasons why this is amateur looking. Keep at it and try to build some tension. Also do retakes until your actors get it right.

  • B-

  • What an odd place for a file cabnet.....

  • Very nice! And I think the acting was better than average for an amateur film!

  • The cinematography was strong here. The acting was pretty poor but it was definitely entertaining and caught my attention from the very first shots. I almost wish the story matched the quality seen in some of the shots. Good job overall

  • Matrix and jumper?

  • This is so much like the Matrix.

  • GOOD JOB THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST I SEEN SO FAR, I HAVE A SHORT FILM COMING OUT, THIS IS MY FIRST FILM, CAN U CHECK MY TRAILER OUT AND GIVE ME SOME TIPES IF I NEED SOME, THANKS

  • the acting is really average!! but otherwise great film

  • film was not up to the mark & was cliche but the special fx was good & the girl was stunning!

  • Guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr

  • terrible lighting at 02:15

  • The direction is similar to the one in Children of Men.

  • lol nice :) here's another short to check, /watch?v=2xtxC-KX20I

  • Eh. The phone call was a little too Matrix. The first lines were almost directly lifted from Morpheus talking to Neo. Maybe texting would've been more interesting and original.

    The effects were decent, but a little bland, and the second "fight" was pretty awkward.

    Interesting twist at the end, but it was a bit abrupt wiping out the two central characters, though I don't see much of an alternative with the intended effect on the viewer. Overall, not bad.

  • Nice, you blokes did good! Check out the series we got goin on our channel, it's a work in progress but we could always use the viewers opinions and pointers. =)

  • great short film. the girl was stuning !

  • Good job!  What cam?

  • year 12?what that really mean?12 years old..?

  • @akulaesan It's what 12th grade is called in some places. In this case I'm pretty sure the creator is from Australia.

  • yo this was epic!

    but first i have to ask...how did you do the special effects. Ex: teleporting, the guns etc.

  • 3:00 is a little to much like the matrix. lol

  • Try some more mood music.

  • hey where did you guys get the sound effects for all of this?? its soo good! this was one of the things that inspired me to make actual films!

  • "Nooo"

    "NOOOOOo"

    pew pew

  • HOLLYWOOD!!!

  • The acting and the lines not very good.

    Unoriginal, good picture though and effects.

  • good job but needs music...very un inviting to start

  • you need to blend your audio together shot by shot to get a smoother timeline of sound

  • Very interesting with a nice twist ending.

  • Am I the only one who thinks that girl reminds me of Miranda from Mass Effect 2?

  • very very cool... nicely done.

  • u should soooooooooo make a sequel this was awesome

  • where was this shot?

  • Haha! A mix of Jumper, Eagle Eye, Heroes, The Matrix... But its reeeeeeeeeally cool :)

  • It should be called Jumping Eagle eyed Hero's who live in the matrix:)

  • what program did you use to make the teleporting effect

  • That chick has a strange accent

  • how can you shoot in low-light conditions so well???

  • What happens if he's having sex with the jump chick and she jumps. Does his penis jump with her?

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

  • cough* cliche *cough*

  • Jumper nearly got raped at 2:21... Nicetry. tryagain :)

  • NO! i disagree with RCT3Chris. Movies where the main characters die in the end are awesome. it throws everyone off. you want them to live, and everyone thinks that they will, and once they DO die, your like, "wtf!?" and that is awesome.

  • for example: No Country for Old Men

    pissed a bunch of people off but excellent

  • the editing is good but the acting sucks and the film is very unoriginal. The actors' lines are very whack!!!!

  • my thoughts exactly

  • it was pretty cool but to be honest u shdnt have bloody killed the innocent guy at 9:54 - he's like the main character in a way...never kill the main character

  • Unless your film sucks and you just want the attention that people like you give it.

  • good film production awsome quality.

  • im going to be completely honest. it was very boring, and very unoriginal. it was not interesting enough to keep me watching thats not good. try to think of your own original story. something that no one else thought of. not being an asshole here, just giving my honest opinion as one film maker to another.

  • not original

  • Jumper...

  • good but i sugest you dont change areas so quick maybe slowly change to a different area

  • i think that was great you should make a longer film some acting not great but story is good great job do not feel bad for others opinion i would pay to see a longer version @ the movies. should consider "dragonball Z" for u to make god job

  • this reminds me of jumper.......but its cooool :D

  • My suggestion as a film major would be to go with ADR and Foley in post, that way you don't have varying volumes of background white noise from the mic. It just sounds so much cleaner. Good job though.

  • This was the shiz!

    I"m just starting out and this helps a lot.

  • Comment removed

  • Did anyone see the trailer for "Sneakers & Soul". Looks amazing!

  • Not meaning to be judgmental but is this a personal remake of the concept of the Matrix and others?

  • @Sebtyoon Ya the scene where Ariel gets the phone call is identical in speech to the scene in the matrix where Neo gets a phonecall from Morhpeus. Still, its pretty good guys.

  • are you guys frm New Zealand coz i am 2 an i really wanting to make a low budget independent film abit lyke this

  • GREAAAAT

  • Enjoyed it. It works in a grindhouse-sorta-way. LOVED the effects. Must agree with the others and say the acting at points hurt the production, but overall, a fantastic effort. The cinematography and staging during the action sequences was excellent. Will subscribe to your channel.

  • You broke the 180 rule at 7 minutes.

  • @OwenageReviews 180 rule?? whats that?

  • @DragoKnightxt10 i think hes talkin about during dialogue scenes, theres an invisible imaginary line that ur not supposed to cross..u can cross it but u have to do it on both sides, otherwise u break the rule and it makes the scene look awkward.

  • @OwenageReviews 180 rule, 180 rule blah blah blah - the 180 rule is crock of horseshit invented to give morons like you something to blab about. The 180 rule can had HAS been broken sucessfully many, many times.

  • @OwenageReviews He established the area enough that we know what is going on, so technically its an exception to the rule.

  • @OwenageReviews what is the 180 rule?

  • very bad ass effects, but like others said, acting was a bit off. Great camera angels as well

  • Awsome

  • wow. this is amazing. year 12 film maker? wowzzaaaa.

  • how much money did you spend on this i would have to say somewhere between 10,000-30,000, and i would have to say that it is a wast of money. but some of the cinematography was OK but the story, action, acting, and locations were boring, and not original. other than that it was a very good first short film. hope you do better next time

  • THIS IS A COPY OF MATRIX AND JUMPER

  • i hated most of it but not all of it. maybe a $6.000 budget isn't enough for these idiots.

  • Decent twist at the end, but I didn't care too much for the characters. There was not enough time spent with each one. I couldn't feel for the guy when he died. Nice FX and location Cinematography. Action scenes were good. The lighting really created a good mood. I thought the walking really slowed it down. I can say I wasn't neccessarily bored. It kept my attention. On a grading scale like the info for the film says 'A+', I'd say it is an easy B-, but it can be reedited to be better.

  • oh yeah...cool movie bro

  • this movie reminds me of the nght i slept over my friend paulie's house. It was a cold october night, parents werent home. houese to ourselves. pops' whisky. porno. cod4. and a stash of weed. doorbell rings. answer. it's a midget wearing a grown mans pair of overalls. weirdest night of my life.

  • Needs sounds/music...

    Nice job though...

  • at 2:50 reflection of boom mic can clearly be seen in the background hahahaha

  • not bad... but don't you get told off a lot for ripping off the matrix and jumper?

  • this is copy off jumper?

  • seriously i know

  • That's the same cell phone ring in Crank.

  • hot lady

  • hot lady? that with that dark hair in what world do you life shes look like shit

  • Good film, but confusing end. It's good movie shots and quite good effects.

    The actors weren't the best, but what can you request from a film like this.

    All together, good film!

  • Not so good acting

  • cool video

  • i dont really get it but still good

  • a little confuzeing but still good

  • actualy full Jumper movie idea

  • jumper chase scene

  • wow dood your one of the grayest i just love you job . your a big inspiration to me hope to hear from you ronyxxx1

  • grymt bra film!!

  • nice i love your movies

  • matrix, and jumper rolled into one, not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing

  • What kind of Camera do you use?

  • Is there a point to the story line? or no lol i mean really what is this got to do with left for dead

  • this has nothing to do with left 4 dead...what are you talking about o.0?

    this is "potentials"

  • the link to this is in a left 4 dead video saying if we like to play left 4 dead watch this and we'll like it im still confused about it like wtf is the point to it

  • wow u guys are awsome

  • their is a movie jumper already wth still good though an left 4 dead

  • yeah, if you like playing l4d watch this movie...cause it has nothing to do with it.

  • £2.50 for a coffe!!!!!!! that must have been 1 big coffe!

  • Its $2.50 still expensive tho

  • it lags like hell

  • smgexpert200 its your internet connection not the movie or youtube.

  • my internet has never been this laggy with youtube. Its taking forever to load. Usually it loads right away even in HQ.

  • *clap**clap* GREAT FILM BRAVO BRAVO!!

    you have a lot of "POTENTIAL" fireflyfilms!

  • It was Crank. Just remembered the ringtone was from Crank. :)

  • yeah its from crank. i got the same ringtone. its awsome =D

  • I know that ringtone. Sound familiar to anyone else?

  • anyone notice at the end that it was the same storage place where the zombie short film was?

  • yeah

  • Isn't there a movie called "Jump"? Where they the guy did do things like skip through space? Just sayin, this is a good vid.

  • Excellent work. The story was well written, the effects and camera were top notch, and the locations were good. I could picture seeing something like this on the big-screen.

  • its is very good but i think you should have put more effects

  • which editing software do you use, im a year 12 student and we're using final cut pro on imacs, but which program do you use to make effects like that?

  • Try thinking of something original next time... definitely some "potential" there... lawl turbopun

  • that was very good, nice twist at the end too, I give 5 stars, there are a few things which need considering but under the circumstances, very well made. I dunno how you did it and what you used but it definetly inspired me to try my own again, I did Media in Year 12, lets just say my project was not as peachy as yours :)

  • dude if you had like a shit lot more time and a stand for your camera your movies could be god like... I'de give this an A+ good job

  • The teleporting is from Jumper, not Push. Push was about telepathic abilities, not teleporting.

  • i dont think bruce willis plays in this... a look alike but not bruce

  • ahaha this is jus tlike jumper! Nice i like it +4 from me

  • Good shit!

  • the action scene was okay but isn't the teleporting more like "jumper"?

  • So cliché.... the acting is really bad, the sound is horrible (your hear the boom on most dialogues), and the story is unengaging. The camera is not so bad...

    Don't get me wrong, this is a nice try as an exercise, but not even close to a work of art.

  • that isnt bruce willis. major movies had trouble trying to get bruce willis let alone a low budget film get him..

  • good short film. you should definitely add on to it.

  • haha! yeah! those two yelling "No" really bad.

    I didn't liked this film at all. Sad but true! sorry!

  • how did u get bruce willis to star in this?

  • LOL you crack me up. It does look like Bruce Willis though so much!

  • What Video editor did you use? I'm a potential film maker. thanks

  • Really Good Movie U should Add onto it!

  • very good and this is like open ended like r u gonna make another one u should cause this is really good

  • good stuff!

  • was this the same camera used for left 4 dead?

    0kay this movie wasnt bad but there were some parts i was like wat happened.Like the first scene it was so dark, and when she fought the man.But it was good.

    Good Job!!

  • good exept why bring in the potential when the other potential just kills him? other than that good job

  • bahahaha at 8:33 it looks like the girl has a disembodied head following her around

  • the acting could of been a little better but its good

  • Agreed.. when those two ''yells'' no, its just so lame.

    + the phone scene etcetc.. was kinda matrix ripoff but w/e

  • a mix of matrix and jumper XD

  • great opening scenes

  • mad special effects for a year 12 film. i laughed when i saw newport station, i've been involved with a film being made for trop fest which has a scene in nosh cafe. keep an eye out for Lady In The Red Stilletos.

  • lame video :p

  • The acting and fighting was horrible...

  • good job. nice story, characters, and my fav.....GUNS!!!

  • reminds me of matrix and jumper xD but its funny 5/5

  • It's a nice movie, but i got a little bored, because it reminded me too much of The Matrix.

  • Amazing uderly amazing you could do this for a living amazing

  • 5/5 - with subscrib

  • HAHAHAHAHA 2:46 Crank xD

  • lol everyones got that ringtone haha lol

  • reminded me a bit of the matrix, but oh well 5/5

  • coolness.. I like what you did with what you had :)

  • cheers! :D

  • hey man I was hoping to get into filmaking and i have some questions do you think you could help out a beginner

  • wow man, i really think that this is amazing. idc if you did take stuff from other movies, its the way you put them together. cause its kind of like a hitman like thing and i like that. this is amazing. 100/5 dude. keep makin' more.

  • Well wasn't she a cutie.

    Lol.

    Great work!

  • i liked it alootttt

  • nice job :D

  • I like the subway shot

  • For a low budget film I would say the effects are pretty good, just very unoriginal. There are a lot of great qualities about this film but there are plenty of bad one as well, first off when your writing a script its best to start by writing an outline of beats of the story to establish what is going to happen. This will help decide the best way to visually tell the story with shots, and dialogue. There is a lot of room for grow in your work, you really need to move towards your own ideas.

    -CJ

  • there are somethings i saw and i'm not in film class. like when he says "hi, how are you?" and the one guy says "my name is eric." i don't think it would go like that if he just met someone. and um, when people talk when they hold a gun to someone's head, like in the end; they aren't thinking about their hands. like, if your talking you are going to be thinking of what you want to say first. so he could have shot the guy when he was talking cause he wouldn't have shot back. but its still a 100/5

  • I agree with the comments about it taking core ideas from jump and push but these days nothing is completely original

    i think the way it was filmed was alright but the acting was completely terrible. I realize its a pretty low-budget short film but come on. I wasn't drawn into the story at all.

    sorry

  • it sucks

  • that ringtone is from Crank 1 jejejejeje

  • you've got some real talent--nice job

  • Well done film, however, if you were trying to replicate real films, to add "dramatic depth" by killing off actors, it just didn't work in this one, also the whole jumping theme was already established in Jumper, next time go for a more original approach, take the same idea and tweak it for yourself, people, especially in the film industry, will take you much more seriously once they see you have your OWN ideas, nice direction though.

  • OMFG!!!!! O_O!!!!

    YOUR VIDS ARE MOTHERFKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the BEST real life video is i have EVER seen!

    can you PLEASE tell me the names of the music that were playing in this vid????

  • FUCKING AWESOME!!!!

    AMAZING!

  • u make awsome films.were did u get the blood from in l4d

  • this kinda seems like a rip off of both jumper and push. it's good, but seems to basically have exactly the same story. and when I say seems to I mean does.
