Split-Minute

Chris is lonely, stuck in a world that is almost frozen. He wanders through Seattle where one of our seconds is a minute long for him.

Will he always be alone?

Lame. Especially the part where they took over the corner of an actual Real Change vendor to replace him with the fake one, who acted like a braindead zombie.

The actual vendor wrote a letter to the "filmmaker" about it, published in Real Change (and realchange . com).

Yes, he was quite upset that day. For many reasons, including the fact that Whole Foods (his "corner") was closed that day. They had an emergency closure due to flooding, which is part of the reason we shot there when we did.

But at the same time, the real-life Real Change Guy was not interested in getting in the car with us and shooting in multiple locations across the city. That would have taken him away from his corner.

But yes, he was upset and made that clear to use repeatedly that day.

Are you sure that is the right web address? realchange . com is sustainability website. Did you mean to point people at realchangenews . org?

Lots of work, but I did manage to write, shoot and edit my first short film.

Shot on a Canon 60D and edited in Premier Pro.

Fabulous.  REALLY creative and mesmerizing. Are these darn videos just getting better and better, or am I celebrating our new legal freedoms just a little too freely? nyuk nyuk! Anyway, I thought this one was the best yet; that Real Change guy should feel honored just to have been a little part of it, that's what I say. Sheesh.

Hey, very well done! Definitely a masterpiece!

[Todd Gardiner]

"Nice tunes"... Your funny!

I had to speed up 'recombination', but that made the piece even more melancholy, which worked nicely. Thanks for contributing.

Fun stuff. Well done.
