So the one who shot him was from the future?. The gun made my heart jump so bad :( great film though :) make another

[y0hallabak]

hahaha. Yeah the future himself. We didn't have time to really think and write this film out. But yeah his future self figured out to travel back in the past. He got stuck there. Now it makes two of him. He decides to kill his present self so the future self can live his present self's life. But then again it doesn't make sense. If his present self died, then he would never have built the time machine, right? I don't what we made this movie about. But we made it in the top three!!!

[jonkre]

music and story sucks.

Terrible.

[ladyofda07]

[seeImagineCREATE]

YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME ON 2:55

[louther1213]

what...>?

[CAPTAINQUIZ]

@jonkre Haters gonna hate

gj vid above for being good.

@HunterAlucard

Actually no... he wouldn't be sending his future self into the past... so no knowledge would be recycled and re innovated.

So this all ends up with one tiny lapse in time.

LAME.

[HunterAlucard]

Ok, if I went back in time,

I know I would have made a time machine. If said time machine could only go backwards, you're only real problem is the time between your past self figuring it out, and your future self kinda stuck with you. So he didn't have to kill himself, he just had to wait till he figured it out the machine and then replace himself.

He could of just been a catalyst and helped his past self create it. Thus creating a limit that approaches zero. he would be building it faster

[glovercm]

That was pretty good. I've never entered on of them 48 hour contest. What's it like? Any in Florida? Keep up the good work. I'd like to see more.

[daHBIC]

gun scared the sh*t outta me

[LastofJedi]

"What would you do to your other self..."? I would let my other self keep working while I draw the money from the bank account and party like a rock star.
