    Hey, filmmaker here :). The audio is off for some reason, but I’m writing for help!

    Great video: I love how well the visuals and editing serve the humor. Great visual storytelling and tight cutting!

  3. fictionrider Says:

    Great film! Very creative, but please don’t send the Earth crashing into the Sun! Send one of those other planets we never use, maybe Venus.

  4. urbanandroid Says:

    Fictionrider- lol. Thanks for watching our film! And good thing I stayed in bed instead ;). Next time it’ll be Venus.

  5. urbanandroid Says:

    PS: Nikon, you rock for fixing the audio so quickly!

  14. urbanandroid Says:

    lol, fictionrider, a few days ago, you commented that it was a great film! but appreciate your comments regardless.

  15. jstafford Says:

    fun stuff, playing in Moms closet brings out the artist in you, hope you didn’t get paint on the cat

  16. magrelacanela Says:

    This is definitely creative! So different. I enjoyed it. Good luck!
    Did you just paint on glass and film the glass from the other side?

  17. bearsquid Says:

    Was I just ambushed by a hybrid scorpion/MC Escher art that bayonets the mind with a narrative driven by a paradigm of savage hopefulness?

  18. bearsquid Says:

    I also noticed that when i’m watching this my monitor starts smelling like warm maple syrup.

  19. bearsquid Says:

    After watching the video again I have come to the conclusion that it and the universe are lovers.

    I really enjoyed this. It shows just what you can do with limited resources and a couple of rooms and some paint. Really great job!!!

  23. dudemunro Says:

    The effects and extreme facial expressions remind me of silent films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Very cool!

  24. mlesh Says:

    Loved the humor,the pace,the clever combo of art and props, editing. Everyone can probably relate to the emotion and action, hope you win!
