Mithrandir Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 About a month ago my friend Eric and I made a short film. It was called "Private I" (a pun on the term "private eye"). We shot it in one day, and he spent about a month using the spare few minutes he had in his video production class to edit it. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK4dC2qBPN0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSk0WqrXJGo (youtube made me cut the file in half) Link to comment

Samurai Drifter Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 "I will contact you... if and when that situation arises... LIKE SMOKE FROM A DYING FLAME!" "We'll see about that... when the cock crows... and the moon rises!" *wild scream* "He can see!" "How?" "Through his sunglasses!" "I can summon evil ice to attack you!" :laugh: Link to comment
stranger Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 that was one of the best movies i've seen in a long long time, probably ever good job mith Link to comment
amy Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 ...first of all that is a pretty sweet underlining HTML thing you worked out there and it is so weird to think I have known you (person in movie) for like two years on the internet, I would never talk to someone like you in real life. i loved seeing California, I've never been there, there are really a lot of mountains and trees. (it is like I imagined from reading books by richard brautigan who writes about california) Link to comment
darkon Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 The shaky camera at the start almost made me puke. But nothing you can really do about that. I like having "Vonnegut" under your search terms. As for the movie -- I decided if we knew each other in real life we would be best friends. Like this movie is a direct representation of my mind. BUT I'M NOT SPANISH!!! (That whole scene was the best part of the whole thing) Link to comment
Galkar Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 That private eye is a WONDERFUL actor. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hmmm... more people need to watch my movie. C'mon. I play a private detective who accuses people of being Spanish. There's also a lot of magic. Link to comment
darkon Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The accusations of being Spanish are the best part. Link to comment
Battle_Pope Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 The accusations of being Spanish are the best part. having seen it now, I will agree. Also, dramatic camera angles were slim to nill. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 It's kind of hard to do dramatic camera angles when there are a total of two people working on the film. Link to comment
amy Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 oh yeah, about the actual movie, I liked the scene with the interrogation of the strange indian guy and the sand dollars xD Link to comment
R.T. Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 any movie with references to both the Sandman and to a JFK gaffe gets a thumbs up in my book Link to comment
Silver Cyclone Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 "How can he see?" "THROUGH HIS SUNGLASSES!" *shocked face* "But he ahs been spending quite some time in....HIS COUNTRY ESTATE!" "Where is that?" "IN THE COUNTRY!" I couldn't stop laughing. Or when you kept hitting his hand. This was really pure brilliance. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 I'm glad someone else enjoyed the hand-hitting. I think that was, perhaps, my favorite subtlty. Link to comment
Silver Cyclone Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I loved it as I do it way too often for a slight giggle. Did you write any of that script because it certainly didn't seem that way. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Nope, the entire thing was improvised. We had a vague idea for a plot and briefly discussed what was going to happen in each scene. Link to comment
Silver Cyclone Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I thought so. You could tell from the laughter and the cross over dialogue but that made the movie. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Yeah, that was basically what we were shooting for. Link to comment
Silver Cyclone Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 I don't know how you managed to contain your laughter. Link to comment
Mithrandir Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 I've taken a lot of improv classes and not laughing is like on of the first rules of improv. Link to comment
darkon Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 One reason I've never been able to get on stage is because I laugh so much. Link to comment
amy Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Last year in the improv show Julia and I got up randomly and ran across the stage screaming xD (it was an informal black box type stage). We were going to do it this year but she was busy. I wouldn't want to have to stop laughing, that's so boring >>; Link to comment
