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!

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.
December 18th, 2009 at 2:41 am
Fictionrider- lol. Thanks for watching our film! And good thing I stayed in bed instead ;). Next time it’ll be Venus.

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

your minds have expanded my screen into an emotional, visual, auditory rollercoaster. not a second i wasn’t intrigued or incredibly inspired
December 22nd, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Very good!
December 23rd, 2009 at 5:21 pm
Fun stuff, urbanandroid!
December 24th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
I kinda like it. But it’s not very good, really.
December 24th, 2009 at 3:52 pm
lol, fictionrider, a few days ago, you commented that it was a great film! but appreciate your comments regardless.
December 26th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
fun stuff, playing in Moms closet brings out the artist in you, hope you didn’t get paint on the cat
December 28th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
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?

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?
December 30th, 2009 at 1:44 am
I also noticed that when i’m watching this my monitor starts smelling like warm maple syrup.
December 30th, 2009 at 1:48 am
After watching the video again I have come to the conclusion that it and the universe are lovers.
December 30th, 2009 at 11:28 pm
I love the originality and art put into this work, it’s an array of beautiful colors and imagery. This is a beautiful reflection of her soul
January 4th, 2010 at 4:27 am
yaeah, awesome job! MUCH better than the boring top rated ones
January 4th, 2010 at 10:51 am
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!!!
January 4th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
The effects and extreme facial expressions remind me of silent films like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Very cool!
January 4th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
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!
January 5th, 2010 at 12:40 am
Ah! Much better with the corrected sound. Bravo!

i especially love the closet scene, but i’m partial to costume changes. the external/internal-ization of the characters thoughts is amazing!

Crazy and indirect routes are the ones to the heart. Beautiful job!

Hypnotized by the swirling, zany beauty of your film, I have been granted a vision of the future. Congratulations
January 11th, 2010 at 6:38 pm
