The clock was broken to point of ticking back and forth, not progressing further, taking literally forever to show the proper passage a second. Talk about exceptional symbolism.

This is perhaps the most brilliant compression of a story. Ironically, it takes place in the course of one minute and yet somehow doesn't feel rushed in the slightest. Additionally, juxtaposing the wait for the gig with the wait for the food in the microwave is a magnificent demonstration of temporal relativity. Time passes differently in our perspectives depending on what we are doing. The nuanced contrast between the digital timer on the microwave and the analog clock on the wall reflects the subtle difference between time and timing, or the passage of time. Mark Slouka, one of my favorite authors, said it best: "A story is something large seen through a small window. A shard that suggests not only the shape of the pot from which it came, but the mind of the potter on the day that he made it." This film is such a shard in that respect. It's safe to say that more thought went into this 1 minute short than most major motion pictures that are made today. Bravo!
The concept, of 'second-arm being stuck', when he was JUST WAITING N WASTING TIME, being passive to Time n Life, was so triggering a TAKE OFF moment! And Later how he 'lived' that minute, was his flight of Creativity! Wow! Great conception .
This makes me think of the waiting that we all engage in - waiting for better, for tomorrow, to feel free, to have more money, for someone to love us, to be ready, to heal etc. All various excuses to push life away and avoid the vulnerability of being fully human being, living and fully open to the possibility of pain which is a part of being human. Where does that come from? Why do we do it? What part of us does it? What pattern or loop may we be perpetuating?
If you guys haven't noticed ,the youtube red bar that starts right when you start the video is in exact sync with clock's ticking and perfect sync with drum's tempo. Just so satisfying.

This is too good for a one minute piece, such an amazing achievement!
Do not let people kill your passion...as long as you love what you do you will be out of time out of space out of responsibilities out of choice out of this world whatever happens do not bother you
I was very blessed during the pandemic...as an artist, I threw myself into painting 🎨 with a passion. No disturbances or drop in guests and completed 40 paintings in a year and a half. 😅😅😅❤❤❤❤
Still so great. I interpret it as being about how we are set free and can be most creative in those small moments where our mind isn’t preoccupied with something, but those moments are very sparing. I love it, so well done!
Have been using short films on TH-cam for analysis lessons as part of English language tutelage, and I can only think of one other short that comes even close to it (I think I've exhausted TH-cam). Excellent concept and execution. There is so much to discuss with students given the short time; really fantastic writing and a wonderful production. Thank you!
What kind of questions do you ask your students? I was thinking of doing a narration type lesson where to improve speech and thinking on the spot, but analysis also sounds like an excelent idea! :D
@@paulasuzettebravo8597 It sounds nice! I guess it's all about tailoring it to your students. Well the premise of what I do is to pick a film which is entirely visual; no spoken word, which means the student has to work a harder. I ask them first of all if they enjoyed the film, and why, and then how it made them feel. I then ask them to describe what actually happens, what they noticed in particular and what they think the meaning behind the film is. If I feel they have missed something important or if there is some interesting details that invite deeper discussion, I ask more specific and probing questions. Depending on the student and how useful it is to them, I may also ask them to comment on the production values themselves, for example. I then ask them to question me in the same way I have questioned them and get as much information from me as possible. This way they get to experience both sides of the interaction and also gain examples of the same roles they have taken as 'played' by a native speaker.
You guys are easily entertained and are the same people who comment that every video they watch is "amazing" and the "greatest ever." Get out of the house more....this was a guy waiting to play the drums after the pandemic...wow...breathtaking...mind blowing...earth shattering.
Just watched the winners announcement video and wanted to see what the competition was like. Damn good one right here! Gotta give props to anyone else who tried to win with some original music 👍
Great message. It’s important to have a goal to make waiting through any obstacle - pandemic or anything else, - not seems like a worthless waste of time. Motivating yourself puts obstacles into better perspective.
this was pretty cool. Sometimes a short wait can feel like an eternity and our minds begin to race and or daydream. He missed playing with drums. I'm glad he didn't get on his phone. Good job.
You got 3 likes from me with this short video: 1st Like was for the lovely cinematography 2nd Like was for the brilliant drumming skills 3rd Like was to seal the above 'Likes' (As you know, when you hit the 'Like' button twice, it is in effect a 'Dislike')
That’s the consequences of the pandemic, we have no choice but to delay our plans, wait for the opportunity to come so that we can pursue things we want to do after the lockdown. It’s so brilliant, the way this short movie delivered its message in one minute. Be safe, it’s not our pleasure or choice to stay at home, but it’s our duty. Let’s your imagination entertains your soul. That’s all, peace.
Perfect! I had a roommate whose passion was music and drumming. He never drove a car without tenderizing the steering wheel. Stop light? Just gave the wheel a drum roll and when the light turned green? Top hat and snares. Thank you for the memory!

The message is that rather than waiting you can choose to do anything you like, because when you do something you like time will pass, so much faster
The problem is that some people like to do bad things to pass the time. Illegal things.
The clock was broken to point of ticking back and forth, not progressing further, taking literally forever to show the proper passage a second. Talk about exceptional symbolism.
Awesome! Thank you!
Atleast he didn't check his phone. He was creative in his mind
And does that make it different ??
You should see what this cat can do while he is waiting for the toaster to pop or the kettle to boil.
🤣🤣
@@nikhilchaudhari5355 If you have to ask it means you have lost some of your own creativity. I hope not!
Dear @@annarodriguez9868 im not a creative person.
As both a drummer and filmmaker, this was an absolute blast to watch! Awesome job!
Thank you!
what was so special about it ?
a self claimed drummer and filmmaker?

He is not waiting for the microwave. He is waiting for the pandemic to get over so he may resume pursing his passion for drums. Brilliant :)
i know right? Audiences are brilliant.
And that's gonna be a hell of a long wait..
🥺
In india its eternal.
Why would the pandemic prevent you of pursuing your passion of any instrument or anything at all? Does this plandemic prevent us from grocery shopping, drinking alcohol, taking a dump? No sir.

@@morphinefilms. You're quite welcome. It was well-deserved my friend. Best to you. I'm looking forward to viewing more of your work.
a shard is a piece of shit after you fart in your underwear . not a very nice compliment
That's a shart you were thinking of, LOL.
@@nowistime8070 You're about 3 bricks short of a load. Look up the word SHARD.
When you have nothing to write in exams, your mind goes like this
True 😁😁
Lmao! That's f''''in' true !😂
Even when you sit for studies.🤣
Arthur's joke
This could have been the best Drums commercial ever made
Love the simplicity of the story. Lighting and cinematography are excellent. Top contender for sure :)
Thank you, Your work is awesome!
Letting the mind play and flow. Great cinema 🤙
Thank you!
Lighting and color grading was amazing
Thank you!
He actually waited for 50,7 seconds..
The concept, of 'second-arm being stuck', when he was JUST WAITING N WASTING TIME, being passive to Time n Life, was so triggering a TAKE OFF moment! And Later how he 'lived' that minute, was his flight of Creativity! Wow! Great conception .
Creativity and a passion for something is worth the wait. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Brilliant short film, didn't expect him to see him play the drums, complete surprise! great job :)
Thank you sir!
As a drummer, I 100% agree with this one. Loved it.
❤
I actually would like that minute back

An actual quality short film that understands colour grading and how to balance close up and wider shots!!!! Dubzzz + editing was on point
Thank you so much!
how did he actually managed to make a minute feel like an eternity?... IN THE BEST OF THE SENSES!!!
you Nailed it, bro
This is so oddly beautiful and almost exactly how my imagination works! Love it.
Same mane
This movie thaughts me , use the time even you wait for another thing ❤❤❤and enjoy it
If you guys haven't noticed ,the youtube red bar that starts right when you start the video is in exact sync with clock's ticking and perfect sync with drum's tempo. Just so satisfying.
Wow! Great eyes and ears!
The clock ticking is in the same beat as the drums, acting like a metronome. Brilliant!
Being a musician I understand how there's a point you literally hear rhythm through everyday items like the ticking of a clock...
I have the Music in me, am a huge fan.

@@lostvapor5211 ikr, it wasn't even anything special
It's funnier for me as it was recommended to me while I was waiting for the microwave 😂.
I saw Converge live in 2003. PS: Amazingly directed. Love it!
What a great way to spend a minute lol
Like a 100 on your math test, this one sums things up perfectly.
What a 😎 video!! Thank you for sharing.
How the video was marketed, that got it the traction!
As a drummer boy -> okey like it picasso❤️👌🏼🔥

the time we designate for "waiting" are moments of joy and unabashed creativity that we let escape us.
This was cool man, well done! Thanks for sharing with us :) God bless you!
Thank you!

Love the Whiplash vibes I’m getting from this short!
Fun video! Awesome, especially the cinematography! Super sweet drumming!
Sick Converge muscle shirt. Respect.
Shortest short film I've ever seen and it was epic!
THE BEST
A charming film that deserves recognition. Brilliant premise and clever cinematography. I’m year 10, and this is a work of art.

As a drummer myself, I FELT THAT!!!
Everybody is a rock star in the privacy of their own home. As it should be, lol.
The cinematography, sound, and lighting is TOP TIER. Very cool. Also the storytelling is excellent!!!
Perfect for a music store ad
Just watched the winners announcement video and wanted to see what the competition was like. Damn good one right here! Gotta give props to anyone else who tried to win with some original music 👍
Thanks! Your work is great! Too bad they didn’t do honorable mention this time. You and me might have more chance to show our work.
brilliant
If this was "award-winning", there must not have been that many entries...
Converge, nice. Very appropriate for a drummer, considering the skills of theirs.
really good, thoroughly enjoyed this! I like the motions/pans throughout the film. Excellent lighting and color grading. The mood was spot on.
2022 Now This is Real Talent.
Am I the only one replaying it from 0:54 to 0:55 to see the PERFECT transition - Loved it!
This people telling stories under 1 min
Meanwhile me "I need atleast 10 episode with 1.5 hour to tell this story "
Awesome match cuts!💯
did him dirty with that voice over XD but this was amazing, great job
J.K Simmons walks out from the darkness
😂😂😂
I think on the surface its about a drummer, but really I think its visualizing how the imagination works in periods of waiting
That’s awesome!
I'm no movie expert but I do find this highly relatable :) thank goodness shows are back now.
Im a drummer and when he started playing on the table you can really tell this actor is ACTUALLY a drummer
Great message. It’s important to have a goal to make waiting through any obstacle - pandemic or anything else, - not seems like a worthless waste of time. Motivating yourself puts obstacles into better perspective.
At the first chopstick twirl, I thought "hello - drummer here". I wasn't disappointed.
As a drummer and a film maker... and a microwave, a clock and a pair of chopsticks, i think im qualified to say this was awesome!
Wow, ja, that not let out energy, satisfied needs... is such a burden to carry and to stand...
Brilliant minute with deep and divers emotions!
this was pretty cool. Sometimes a short wait can feel like an eternity and our minds begin to race and or daydream. He missed playing with drums. I'm glad he didn't get on his phone. Good job.
Awesome! 🥁🔥
this is definitely up there as one of the best short films on TH-cam
This was amazing! HE WAS ROCKING TO THE MICROWAVE’S BEEPING SOUND!
Well done! I'm glad you got to flex your creative skills during the quarentine.
Hey! Thank you! yea If not now when right?
Uffff.....
