My new short film "Roadside" is here! Hope ya'll enjoy it!
loved this!
TheBuffNerds one continous shot? It was really good. 👍
yes!
Saw the bts so got the answer there :p looked so seemless ( after many shots)
TheBuffNerds which camera and lenses you guys used? Can you share pls.....
I love how the camera stayed on her for so long, making us trust her, and then when it showed the driver he started saying untrustworthy things. Great twist and cool one shot film.
Yeah i guess it would have been too obvious if he was a serial killer , but in this situation both the driver & hitchiker can't be trusted.
The one take made this short film 10x better, mad respect.
It was rough haha thanks man
Moral of the story. Don't save her; she don't wanna be saved. Hasn't J.Cole taught to guys anything.
Lol that was project pat, but yeah Cole was cool too
On which song plz?

Unknown Chap I was unaware of that track. But this was in reply to the original poster who cited J. cole 😋
Did anyone else notice that she was wearing a band in her wrist like if she had escaped form an asylum or something like that. That is an amazing detail.
yes! And the blood on her clothes suggests she probably attacked the staff or her doctor.
The blocking was incredible
Thanks logan
What is blocking?
SposeHD blocking is where the actors and camera will move through the scene
I loved the continuous shot on her while the guy was getting out of the truck the first time. so much suspense built.
I have to agree!
Amazing one take! Super well done. Felt like an extended trailer for a Hollywood film. Loved it!
appreciate it!
Yeah fam it felt like a trailer
Well, she *did* try to warn him.
This was absolutely brilliant! I was so engaged in the story and characters that I didn't even notice that it's a single take. Well done! Kudos to the team! 👏
thanks!
Am I the only one who noticed this was a #ONETAKE lol #ONETAKEGANG
EYYY Someone Noticed!
not just u bro :D me too
As the production sound mixer and boom op, dancing behind stedi-cam, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
It’s not a one take. If you watch the behind the scenes you’ll see they took many takes and it took them most of the day to complete
i noticed too!
[Every Film Student] That awesome blocking! That awesome grade! That awesome oner! I am so engaged!
Did anyone else notice she was wearing a hospital bracelet? Maybe she escaped from a hospital??
this would make an AMAZING opening to a movie....
I agree, soo true...
Ay!
You can tell she's a badass from the beginning. And especially when she doesn't want the police involved.
I kinda want to know what happened inside
it is call use your imagination
She Killed him....With what anyones guess
1 May be he tried to do something wrong with her
2 May be the women is criminal n stolen d car
3 may b she is the writter of this story and want people to think again n again about what happened Inside
4 she simply loves to drive this kind of trucks
Lol
@@sachinnhemmaddy9999 option 2 is right.
She clicked triangle on the controller
Superb, well performed. I truly believe that there are some short films that are much better than many Hollywood features.
This was so sick! Loved it man
Sik World hey I know you! u that rapper right? I heard ur song but I'm forget the name but hey!
Sik World good job on reflection
Sik World What is so Sick about that..!!
Sick... Maybe creepy.... I like this kind of thing too...yes sir I'm in for this kinky shit lols
Man, I just keep rewatching hahaha. Study the masters!
Matthew Cabret same here bro ahah!
Same.here bro
Same here... details, prison/institution blues. Hospital wristband. Theory: She got out of prison by faking sick and was able to slip away from hospital...that escape always works in movies. She keeps checking the road behind her... definitely afraid of something. She is wearing a lot of face powder not blended at her neck. Guy's knit cap has price tag. Mistakes or intentional? Relevance: both are not quite right in the head?
Acting, Blocking, Camera work >>>>>>> PERFECTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you make your own 'Hollywood' film one day. I'd watch the shit outta that
thats the dream
Camera movement really kept it interesting, acting was rad too!
Wowo!! Cinematography masterpiece
That 1 long take was so incredible !!!!
I really felt the intensity in this O.o
Great short with an unexpected ending. Especially loved the moment where the man reaches to open the passenger door. Bravo.
Christopher Sandberg thanks
Bet that one take took forever to finally get 😂 that was dope jake 👌🏽
sean islander 14 takes haha
probably not
Babs Maxwell you know nothing about film making if you think it didn’t take forever
Enjoyed the movement of the camera with the beats of the story. Ending was very nice! Good job Jakob and Thomas!
Stefan Puente thank you
Noticing it was all one take was incredible. Really well performed.
my short film paradox : th-cam.com/video/bcqHVhVeykY/w-d-xo.html
Minimal/almost no lighting setup but amazing blocking and story. Just incredible!
thank you for the kind words!
It's hard to setup lighting for a take this long with this kind of blocking, but they managed to do a very good job. This stuff inspires me, LEZ GO MAKE A MOVIE
OMG complete short film in a single shot great guys u did wonderful job... I appreciate ur work
I would pay to watch this in full version at the cinema.
My guy Gordon with a great performance!
That dude looks like Chris Evans
It's really hurting me that you've got less than 10 000 views for this quality
Wow. I loved it. There wasn't even a single cut in the entire movie. Pretty good blocking of scene and great camera movement. Really outstanding. 👌
This is dam good. Very good audio also. Inspires me to try a ONE SHOT scene.
Incredibly shot in 1 take
Great camera work and idea but I really felt like some of the guy's lines were a bit unrealistic..Other than that good job
REALISTIC : It's remember the word that I write 2years ago on the video Devil advocate, Fugees Song , Keanu films , Scarface, video Psy malicious , etc , . ,with my pseudo Charlize Lomax and Nana Theron😇💘 And that every bodys it sound had copied 🤔🙄 for to put it on videos of brintey songer stupid shallow
I agree, I am sure it made the delivery difficult for the actor.
Awesome work man!!! Loved it. Sound was well used, amazing camera movement in that #onetake, and a1 acting.
Hey guys congrats on the great video! I can see you put a lot of thought and effort in it. The blocking is amazing and by not cutting away the scene becomes very suspenseful. The cinematography/ grading really adds to that too because it could be dark any moment now. (must have been a stressful on set :P)
The actors are both doing great but where I think you could improve on is the writing, specifically the dialogue. I like how you're not explaining who these people are and how they ended up here but the characters are kind of one dimensional. The guy immediately assumes something happened and that she is in trouble. This is good for exposition but as a character it's very unlikely to just assume something like that. It would be more logical if he asked her what she is doing out here alone and why she is walking in the middle of nowhere. Then she gives him some dodgy answers so he can have a better reason to assume maybe she's in trouble and thats why she doesn't want to say anything.
It is also strange for her to stand still which communicates she is open for help but when he offers it she refuses it with no hesitation. Maybe she could keep walking and he should just drive along slowly while he talks to her. after he assumes she is in trouble you could have her and the shot stop moving and visually confirming he is right. This would give the male character a good reason to either think "I want to help her" or "she is vulnerable". giving him a good reason to get out of the car and approach her to ask if he has to call the police. I think all the dialogue after she refuses is pretty good and the character motivations there are more clear. He wants her in the car and she doesn't want to go in because she's afraid she could hurt him. The only thing I don't believe is that it's freezing out there when they're wearing clothes suited for relatively warm weather and the grading is warm too. He could say for instance: It's going to get cold outside once the sun goes down.
The guy does come across as a bit of a rapist when he forces her in the car. This makes us not sympathize with him when she kills him. You could have also played with the idea that he's actually just a nice guy but only the girl is intimidated by him. You're kind of already doing this with the audio making his very normal movements scary to her with the sound effects but because he has some dodgy dialogue like: "I could really use the company too.." we as viewers also assume he has bad intentions for her. I don't know if this was intentional or not.
Anyways these are just my thoughts, I hope you don't mind me giving feedback. The video was pretty great overal and I'm looking forward to the next one.
I think you put great thought into this. To me the odd part of it all, is the mystery of what really happened beforehand. His somewhat unnatural and awkward questions/wording, makes me feel like he's involved in what happened to her before. In that case, she might not even know. Nonetheless, they created an incredible window for speculation. I really hopes this blows up or gets a spotlight at a film festival.
she looked like she had other things to do
What you suggested as the first questions from the man are actually intrusive ones.. and the girl's behaviour will make anyone think she is in trouble. So..
Plus showing the misleading motive was obviously intentional.. it is a thriller, dude
@Anita Roy Setting a good plot is important even if it's a THRILLER!
And I liked the way he's analyzed the ifs and buts in the movie.
Good work guys! From one filmmaker to another, I appreciate the hard work it takes to make good storytelling. Now if we could only find a way to make an actual living doing what we love! Any advice would be helpful to your followers!
Really good. Annoyingly people in my film classes tell me i can't really have interesting character in a 5 minute film but this proves you can. Just subtle things alone like the way they act really say alot in such small time. Thanks for inspiring me with this
The framing, composition, frame in a frame, sound design, cinematography.. wow! One shot 😍 that was amazing
the acting took it away. great work everyone in the team.
great short film! it fooled me for a minute ... i really thought the guy was the attacker but he ended up the victim!
I like his gangster gloves and the movie too ❤❤
Awesome job to everyone who worked on this. 1st AC had his work cut out for him and nailed it!
yes she did, was not easy
TheBuffNerds I could only imagine! Major props to *her!
PART 2?!?!
Beautiful camera work.
I really love this . I want to see more .
I knew it. I knew it. Just left my man in the middle of the road.
Well done!
Only one take !! Makes everything much intense !! Amazing 👏🏼👏🏼 what lens was used ??
cineovision anamorphic 35mm
Nothing I can say that has not already been said. Well played.
I really appreciate the way it's shot...brilliant...the whole movie was shot in one take...
THIS WAS AMAZING!! THIS FEELS LIKE A GREAT COLD OPEN FOR A TV SHOW!!!
I absolutely LOVE LOVE one take shots. Should be done more often in cinema, great job here 😍
yea they're my favorite shots!
This is so good. *It's ok, you're ok, I'm ok, we're ok...ok* I like that part lol
:) thanks
I did too.
one takes! no better way to show off your skills! awesome job man!
Thanks!
This is literally the best short film I've ever watched in my whole life
wow thanks!
Blocking in this was so great, job well done!!!
So good🔥👏 Loved the cinematography, the location and the shot through the window and the female actor. 👌🤘💞
That was awesome. A simple short with a great twist.
Soundtrack was APT!
Really loving that you're broadening your horizons when it comes to what you produce.
Such a simple concept for a story but the little camera moves and angles you did really exemplify your talent you have.
Great job Jakob, and Ryan, so cool to see new and interesting things.
Thank you!
nice onetake. Great blocking!
Good one take film. Camera work was good including blocking.
The sound effect is absolutely superb!
First thing i noticed was the band on her wrist also done in one take wow!! Loved this ❤️ she did warn him tho
That was incredible the cinematography was absolutely amazing the way the camera danced around the characters was so smooth. Like even how perfect everthing was in the frame when the truck pulled up. I loved the suspensful lead to the big turning point at the end. Well done you guys.
thank you!!
No one can be trusted. This is the real world today. ,But that's no reason to stop helping people, Like one man said; "There are some things that are worse than death."
Anyone else REALLLLLLY like the male performer, he was really good, early Tom Hardy'ish.... I mean, even his exit was right on point when she "tossed" him out... I loved it, I subscribed and hit the bell!!!!👏👏👏👏👏 One of the best Shorts I've seen....
Paul Henderson thanks!
There's a movie titled "Crazy As Hell" directed by Eric LaSalle, he used A LOT of one shots throughout, I recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it yet. Storyline is, well I'd hate to spoil it
No cut... But full thriller and... I'm impressed❤ this short film...... Acting vera level 🔥
thanks!!
WHAT A TAKE! Great job man. The sound effects, the music, SO PRO!
Wow one take 🔥
This was great! One shot and everything. Fantastic job!
Awesome work, man! Watching you come from "Mr. I Had To Do It" all the way to this is beyond inspiring. Love the music videos but definitely keep the short films coming!
Wow! This was an amazing one take short!!! Congratulations!!!!
Drew my attention throughout the film.
EXCELLENT! WELL WRITTEN! SHE WINS! THANK YOU, I"M WAITING FOR MORE, FROM "THE BUFFNERDS" EXTREMELY BRILLIANT! I HAVE SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR "AWESOME" CHANNEL.
இயக்குனருக்கு முதலில் என் மனமார்ந்த பாராட்டுகள். பார்வையாளர்களை வேறு கோணத்தில் யோசிக்க வைத்துவிட்டு, தலைகீழாக Screenplay வை மாற்றும் மாயாஜாலம். 4 நிமிடம் பார்த்தது போன்றே தெரியவில்லை. நடிகர்கள் அவர்கள் பங்கை உள்வாங்கி நடித்திருக்கிறார்கள். " freeze-in out here", என்று அவன் சொன்னதும், இருவரும் வந்த திசையை திரும்பிப்பார்க்கிறார்கள். அது யாரோ அல்லது ஏதோ ஒன்று அங்கு வரப்போகிறது என்று நம்மை திசைத்திருப்புகிறது, அருமை. நடிகர்களின் கண்கள் நிறைய கதை பேசுகிறது. Camera நேர்தியாக கையாளப்பட்டிருக்கிறது. இரு இடங்களில் Focus இல்லாமல் இருந்தாலும், பின்னணி இசை அதை அழகாக மறைத்தது மட்டுமில்லாமல், திரைக்கதைக்கு மிகவும் வலு சேர்த்திருக்கிறது. வசனம் ஒரு ஆயுதமாகவே பயன்படுத்தப்பட்டிருக்கிறது.
எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்திருக்கிறது.
It's completely tricky, kudos to the director and the team, Actors done a very good job, their eyes speaks a lot. When he says, "freeze-in out here", they look back at the direction that they both came up with, that's fantastic. It prepares us that someone or something is going to come from that side, Wow. Camera work is perfect, but two places focus out, and again there comes background score, perfectly covered everything and played a vital role. of course dialogues are precise. I Love it.
awesome short ! great characters ! shot very cinematic !
Really interesting and intense short thriller, well acted and well-shot. The twist at the end was very well done and surprising. Keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Brilliant what i love is where supose to beleave she the good old nice protaganist. Who knows what happens to her then out of nowhere she became the real threat. Where he was creepy she was deadly and u still left room for questions
SOLID ONER FROM START TO FINISH!
Wow, all in one shot. That’s impressive. Very effective. Well done. 👍🏼
Yo this was sick!! Really simple yet super effective. Great work!
David Patty thanks!
Did not notice it was a "plan sequence" before i watched the BTS !!!
You guys are amazing 💪
Inspired to get this technique done soon in a short too 😇
Blocking looks sick but it must take so long to nail it though 🤕
Nice work 👊
Not only was this super amazing!!!!!! This was done in a continuous shot!!!!! Everything about this was amazing
Done in one take. Hats off🤘
thanks!!
Wonderful job! I need more, MAKE A PT. 2!
Amazing, and in one take!
really good ....kinda want to know where and what was her deal. love middle of nowhere movies always creepy. great job
Wow. This is outstanding! Makes me want to see the rest of the movie that doesn't exist.. lol.
Cortney Sargent haha appreciate it!!
Great. Was thinking about the guy as a killer or something - but did not think of the girl as a bad one =) NICE JOB
Ante Samarzija she wasn’t bad she defended herself to survive. He had no right to force her in the truck
@@stephaniecooper380 I think she knew she was the bad one in this story, she already had the blood on her neck and some kind of psychiatry (?) wristband and she simply didn't want him to get hurt maybe bc she couldn't control herself. the director played very well with the audience making them overthink the typical victim/offender roles. plus, AMAAAAZING, only 2 great tracking shots!!
Good job fellas. I'm no pro so I don't feel comfortable really giving my opinion, but all in all I enjoyed it. The color grade was nice, and the feel was pretty dark. Good job. Oh, that one take tho!!! PRICELESS!!
Producer: “well folks, we have enough money to achieve the awesome filmic look, or we can hire an editor, but we can’t do both.”
Director: “I can work with that.”
AWESOME SHORT!!!!! So well done!!!!
hahaha :)
Too good for a short film
Thanks! Haha
Dope🤯🤯🔥🔥
wow, that was fantastic cinema with great sound....awesome!
