Hello everybody. My name is Jesse Newman. I'm a famous 19 year old filmmaker. Nobody knows who I am. My film might get your attention, though. I don't know, maybe not. Probably not. It will. Either way, you decide whether or not it catches your eye (jk, I'm the only one who can control that). If you hate it, you hate it. I hate it, but I love it. I call the movie "Sean." It's an ugly, beautiful sad comedic party-mess of thrilling horror! www.angelfire.com/rock3/jessenewman/ Enjoy. And sit down while you watch, please. Let me know what you think. Don't laugh too hard. Or at all, if possible. It's not supposed to be as funny as it is meant to be. I'm mega serious about that. (not being sarcastic) lol.

I'm actually serious about this film and I think you guys should take a look.
Good Job
Okay, you begged...I watched. Overall impression is that you have a quirky kind of Ferris Bueller meets Moonlighting (the TV show) kind of tongue-n-cheek film here. Positives: The snappy editing, sound effects and things that pop in like the "Bitch" neon sign were very funny.
Your vignette shots and cut-aways were very well-composed and interesting. The shots of the girls' reaction to his nose...funny. Negatives: The opening voice over was annoying. You ramble on about the beginning, middle and end far too much. It just wasn't that funny in the grand scheme of things. If you cut that in half, it might play better. Once, at Prudence's door, you broke the "180 rule" and crossed the line. She looks camera right and so does he. So they are not looking at each other. He should have been looking camera left. Easier to flip his image since nothing but night sky is behind him. If you shot film, you can reverse the neg but if you shot video, you'll have to ask Capt. Stubby how to do that effect. All in all, I found this little film quirky and entertaining - more so if you cut down the opening and tighten up a few longer sequences. The overall feeling is that it seems a bit long. Good job - Keep creating!

Hmm, strange that you thought it was funny. It wasn't supposed to be. Though, I'm glad you commented on the narration in the beginning. It's not supposed to be set up like a punchy-joke kind of thing. It's supposed to wrap the audience under the impression that this is going to be some kind of coherent story, so if confuses them even further when there no logical progression whatsoever. But a funny effect that it has is people literally, subconsiously, almost, make up their own version of the story as they go. People view it differently all around, decideing on their own what they feel is most important. You took it as a comedy. Thanks for your comment, it is appreciated.
Huh?
Ummmm, so an animated neon sign popping into frame and pointing at a woman with the word "bitch" isn't supposed to be funny? I laughed out loud at that point. I'm not sure what your angle is, but I thought it was fun on the level of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." Your reaction that it's 'not supposed to be funny' is either a ploy to generate more interest or some way to be contrapuntal. (shrugs) It was obviously made to be funny - c'mon! In either case, I liked this film and that should be the bottom line.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but I find it absolutely disturbing if you think a sign reading "BITCH" pointing at a nice innocent girl is something to be laughed about. I think society needs to rethink it's values for one." That is a possible response to your post, but not one that I would subscribe to. I'm glad you enjoyed the film. I'm not trying to be funny. You can laugh if you choose, just realize what that says about your character. Some might find it disgusting... I don't of course. I mean, I did put it in my movie. But issues like this need to be discussed.
Re: Download my short film: Sean
The film was odd, random. You seem odd, random. I like that. Can't say anything that Muddy hasn't said.
Re: Download my short film: Sean
I really liked this..It seemed natural and not contrived. I thought the narration worked well. I think it might of been tightened up a little a the beginning (the Waldo scene is too long for sure).. But overall amazing..
saen
The movie was very good as is all your other stuff. keep it up.
