    I'm not a fan of such incomplete stories, nonsensical plots, and poor director understanding of a required amount of believability, such as the miraculous cure of the broken ankle, and the use of binoculars to see trees only ten feet away. Sorry. Was this made by students taking some kind of movie making course? If so, I can understand the outcome. But why publicize it?

    • @blakekinseyfilms
      @blakekinseyfilms 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. Made a few years ago in film school, during the height of the pandemic, and on the tightest timeline I’ve ever had to make anything. Publicized because, as it turns out, movies are actually tremendously hard to make. Never letting it see the light of day, despite the outcome, is a discredit to all the hard work to all those involved. Sorry you didn’t enjoy 🤷🏼‍♂️

      @@blakekinseyfilms Okay, I understand the feelings you have to not let all that work be "wasted." But it's not wasted, even if you don't publicize it. Take the example of a musician who practices hours for an upcoming concert, and the practicing contains many experimental and repetitive passages done so that mistakes become unlikely. All that practicing is just as useful as the practice movies you make, but the musician doesn't record the practice and publicize it. I also have written many things in essays that I'd never ask people to read because they were more for practice. It's only my most edited and refined essays that I'd ask someone to read. That's a courtesy because all our time is precious, and there are much more rewarding things available to spend it on. It seems to me that the vast majority of what's on TH-cam, which is maintained in memory, which expends resources, is trash. It's analogous to the trash that winds up in landfills. Our society needs to generate less trash. Nature is sick of it.

      @@beingsentient filmmaking is an audience-facing medium. You’ll never know what’s working without the criticism of an audience. I’ve made lots of shorts since this one, and grown in the process. Truthfully I don’t really care if people resonate with it or not. At the end of the day, I know what I like about the piece, and I know the problems too. But ultimately I care more for the dedicated people who worked to help bring it to life much more than an internet audience where everyone seems to have a different opinion on what qualifies as worthy of their time.

      @@blakekinseyfilms Thanks for telling me the truth. As I understand it, you really don't give a sh*t whether a significant part of the public thinks your videos are worth watching. And your main reasons to make it public are for your own satisfaction. Isn't that self centered and wasteful? And isn't it egotistical? Is it just to brag about, that you have a video on TH-cam for the sake of having a video on TH-cam? If so, you're like the countless teenagers who post and waste tremendous resources to publicize what they had for breakfast or how they put on their lipstick or the concerns they have about their pet cats or that their boyfriend did give them flowers. I do suggest that you make your videos and share it among fellow video makers and after you get a good consensus among them that the video is worth bothering the public about, you can go the next step to get opinions from the public. It's people like you who are flooding Dust, Omeleto, and other channels with junk. You're degrading the whole industry for your own selfish motives.

    Not bad. Good idea but some weakness in execution. The actor looked and acted too much like a model - had she or any of the crew ever actually spent two weeks in the bush? You could have been more subtle regarding the pills etc, and then compensated by giving us a bit more to work with in terms of the experiment she was inadvertently part of. It kept me watching but the ending was too predictable.

    I think it depends, it's definitely beneficial if you want to experiment, and be open to learning anything new, including the things you think you know already.... Be open to go through that again, and possibly learn nothing new, or learn some new things, every little bit helps, I think. But the biggest pros you mentioned was the safety aspect, and meeting new people, who are into the same thing you are, they are by far some of the most wonderful conversations, and experience's most people will go through.... Everyone is excited, nervous, motivated, and plenty of colourful characters. That and the ability to try, test, and improve, all with being able to fail, and not lose a whole lot, is very beneficial. That and the ability to pay off ones debt slightly easier is very helpful. But to each their own, some will be better off, going in a different direction. P.S. some film school degrees will actually get you jobs in the right circumstances, not always of course. Great video, a lot more informative then I assumed it would be, wonderful.
