I love how simple the plot of the story is. Yet even so, through the cinematography it becomes an entertaining watch. Young filmmakers, myself included could learn from this. Sometimes its not about having the best dialogue or the best plot. Sometimes it about just putting the viewer on a simple but pleasant ride.
A guy who doesn't lock his bike up and also parks it around the corner out of sight to make it easy to steal. And then the thing that literally everyone knew was going to happen happens and that resonates with you? Okay.
@@monkeyattackedmyass5435 In hindsight every mistake is visible, but come on; its 2 am, there is no visible spot to lock the bike, you are gonna spend less than 2 minutes inside that shop, aint no way its getting stolen. been there, done that
The best part about this video isn't the theater level image quality. It's the motivated camera movements, the incredible compositions, the shots that needed to be static were. Just incredible and enjoyable to watch. And what a challenge to my shooting. Just beautiful.
You have the director's eye. The angles, perfect mix of static and moving shots. Continuation and story telling for a simple script is awesome. Keep going!
@@KABOBkabob The difference is this is motivated. You just said what the problem is. Motivated movement in these types of exercises is very rare. Extremely good here.
I think they overuse it. Movement isn’t needed until it’s needed. A lot of the shots in here make zero sense. Film could be 15 seconds long and be more impactful
This is exactly what happened to me and my friends. We went to a convenient store to buy some snack, bike outside, it only took 30 seconds and the bike is gone, reduced to atoms. Best memory ever!!!
the fact that I've always imagined shooting a "short" with a liquor store scene in a way similar to this is astonishing ! So many like minded people on this earth, I hope you continue this journey and keep it going!! This was AMAZING!!
Wow, this is amazing. The color grading, the shot selection, sound design, all of it is just fantastic. You are seriously talented dude!!! I can't wait to see you do something longer!!
The first thing I thought while watching this was, 'Bro, that bike can still be stolen at 2am in the morning!" But I forgot about it as I was watching the cool shots and noticing the different angles, only to be vindicated at the end. Nice work!
Actually my first thought at the beginning was: I would lock the bike ;o)) ... I like the camera work, maybe the colorgrading ist a little bit aggressive for my taste.
This was great! I love the music choices and how the sound design was done to match the environment. Also the coloring of this looks fantastic. Also love the depth of field in your shots! Great work!
i love watching these short films so i can study every detail, the camera angle, the lighting, the editing, i been binge watching these for the past week and i’m so inspired to become a small filmmaker someday. i love the simplicity of this one, it’s like a normal real world scenario i would observe from afar.
It's simply beautiful, no need for a big time span, fascinating dialogue or actions, just how a life of a normal people is. He craves for coffee in 2 am and he went there with his bicycle, it's like a small reward for yourself. When it's a tiring night you went out to get some fresh air and beautiful night view, the lights of Mart welcome you and keep you away from loneliness but a incident happened his bike was not there anymore which was understandable but he didn't worry much about it and let it go as his peace of mind was more important now. Nice cinematography keep it up 😇🥰❤️
As soon as I saw him park his bike, I immediately thought, “Lock your bike son - even if it is 2am!” The whole clip is thought provoking in so many ways. Nice!
I was gonna hate it on it at first. But man, it's one of the best short films I've seen on TH-cam. The music at the end is "Priceless". It's the most taking an L of all time.
This short film is a masterpiece! Everything was perfectly chosen from the choice of music matching the environment, the selection of shot, the angles. A simple yet awesome camera work. The camera angles empowers the theme of the story. The framing emphasizes emotions and there is a balance composition for visual appeal. I love how the lighting adds to the dramatic effect of the film. And the visual style is just perfect, the color grading, and the patterns. The music complements the scenes. And the dialoque is clear and adds relevance. The sound design are fantastic. The simple plot of the story adds emotional impact. It was just amazing how real could this be and like how life throw unexpected situations to us in the most unexpected places. This short film is indeed amazing and well crafted. -Josephen M. Magsalay
Can you speak a little on how you achieved such vibrant and colors? Did you use a color correction pallet? What profile did you shoot in? Or what this recorded externally? You really made the camera shine in this video. It convinced me to buy this over the komodo.
This was beautifully done! I love the camera work and the color grading choices! I really liked the decision the camera operator made to push in as the subject was exiting the store. It really added some variety to the scene and kept everything feeling cohesive, especially as the next cut was zoomed out to end the film. Amazing storytelling as well! So much was said with absolutely no dialogue! Definitely looking forward to seeing more work from you!
Nicely done. All your experimenting with camera angles and placement is paying off in this one. Loved the combo of lockoff and tracking shots, and the edit between them. Perfect rhythm. Keep going!
Oh this was a gem to watch. The plot is simple but the shots and how everything was laid out were all intentional and well done. Very cool short film! Love the colour grading
As a storyteller you can put your main effort on whether the story or the implementation of the story is outstanding. And this shortfilm is a great example of visualizing your idea. After a few seconds I already got the vibe like id be in this situation. Very inspiring! Keep going! 🔥
Well, what to say that hasn't been already said. This is simplicity and greatness at it's best. Not only is the image quality worth of a movie, but the camera movements, as well as the stills is just wow. Good work guys, I learned so much in less than two minutes. Prefect!
Hello bro nice work But just wanted to know how the green poster (7.99 $) on the door at 0:37 is changed to new poster with value (8.13$) at 1:19 in like 20-30 sec Just a good observer here!!😀

Finally! I thought maybe I was the only one who noticed it :D :D :D
I love this. Warning: unsolicited advice alert: With muted autoplay, people will scroll past the five seconds of black intro. Change nothing, but maybe write in a cold open or something for the next video so people stop and watch your skills. Happened to me, didn't realise until someone else told me. Short films on YT get hurt because of it. Ignore if irrelevant. Keep going. Great work.
I know exactly this feeling. One night i stayed in the library until 3:30 am finishing my assignment, and after that, i made a decision to go for the sunrise. I rode a bike, across the empty city, and stopped at a lawson for a cup of coffee. After that, I kept on cycling and was able to see a sunrise i would never forget.
While everyone connected with bikes and riders !! I was just connected with coffee !! ... That instant change in music explains everything about coffee❤️... Its an emotion for us !!! Such an amazing short film .... loved it
This was pretty cool. I'm trying to eventually work my way up to making a short film, and this project is such an inspiration. Your shots were simple yet effective. The framing, focus shift, and adherence to the rule of 3rds were effective. You guys took an everyday concept and made it look like a cinematic experience. Well done!
I really liked how a short film could be made with just a simple sequence. It was impressive how the limitations of a low budget were so well overcome, and it sparked new ideas for me. I enjoyed watching it and look forward to seeing more great films from you.
im just enchanted with the colors (!!) and the smoothness of the images, but i realy love the plot! simple but not simple, the excellence of execution is… (i have no words)
the way i just jokingly thought to myself at the start that the protagonist should rly lock his bike if he wants to keep it AND THAN THAT WAS THE ENTIRE PLOT hahaha love it, thank you so much for this entertainment

You got what we were thinking while making this. Thank you for a lovely comment.
Your stuff is dope
Very well said!
These were my exact thoughts while watching this😍
İnspiring 🌪
As a cyclist, I am triggered when he didn't lock the bike at the beginning... then later on I knew that would happen lmao
Yup. That was my first thought: you should lock that bike up.
ALWAYS lock your bike
no matter what,where i always lock my bike. the feeling of losing a bike😭
Good coffee, bad day. Thats should be the title 😂
It was my first thought indeed!
as a person with a bike , i deeply resonate with his sadness . Incredible smooth transition , great colors and sounds . All and all an enjoyable short
Thank you 😇
A guy who doesn't lock his bike up and also parks it around the corner out of sight to make it easy to steal. And then the thing that literally everyone knew was going to happen happens and that resonates with you? Okay.
Literally just a Starbucks ad.
yea same

A love letter to all the bikes we've loved and lost 😭😭
You have the director's eye. The angles, perfect mix of static and moving shots. Continuation and story telling for a simple script is awesome. Keep going!
It amazes me how camera movement does a lot for a film. I feel as if many new age filmmakers are not utilizing this technique anymore. Great job!
Lol like 99% of TH-cam filmmakers gimbal spam. It is an extremely popular technique

I'm afraid this guy has no clue how good he is.
U have talent, bro.
Keep it up
THE CUTS ARE SO CLEAN OMG
Thank you man!
They most definitely are
define "clean editing" means
what he said.
This is exactly what happened to me and my friends. We went to a convenient store to buy some snack, bike outside, it only took 30 seconds and the bike is gone, reduced to atoms. Best memory ever!!!
Being a backyard filmmaking junkie and having a lot of my bikes stolen (thanks nyc and sf) this hit all the bittersweet spots. Great job.
Same.
so why don't you set up cameras and catch the rat?
As an aspiring film maker/videographer and an avid BMX rider who has had multiple bikes stolen over the years, this was very captivating!
No dialogue, no wasted shots. Direct and to the point. Well done.
the fact that I've always imagined shooting a "short" with a liquor store scene in a way similar to this is astonishing ! So many like minded people on this earth, I hope you continue this journey and keep it going!! This was AMAZING!!
My favorite genre of short film is "simple story with super competent execution" and this fit the bill perfectly.
Wow, this is amazing. The color grading, the shot selection, sound design, all of it is just fantastic. You are seriously talented dude!!! I can't wait to see you do something longer!!
Thanks a ton!
@@forrainfilmswhat lens and other details did you need to make this short film? And what did you have to do for the color grading?
My heart LEAPED for joy when he chose the Starbucks 🤣 great movie, definitely 10/10
This is so well crafted. Pacing, shot range, lighting, grade all so sick! Beautifully done!
Thanks a lot!
The first thing I thought while watching this was, 'Bro, that bike can still be stolen at 2am in the morning!" But I forgot about it as I was watching the cool shots and noticing the different angles, only to be vindicated at the end. Nice work!
Camera work, lighting and color grading - So good!
Also really nice edit, pacing was niceee
We appreciate it man 😇
What camera do you use bro
@@williammdzibhait says in the title
That was my very first thought that this bike could be stolen if he parks it like that) Btw brilliant filmmaking!
was not ready for the horror ending. a sad and scary film at the same time amazing
Thank you!
Actually my first thought at the beginning was: I would lock the bike ;o)) ... I like the camera work, maybe the colorgrading ist a little bit aggressive for my taste.
This proves that even though a simple story with Great cinematography could be incredibly entertaining. you are talented.

I went to school with Abdulhaq and his acting never gets old!!
He is the best!
I keep coming back, this is really great short film

A minute and 55 seconds reminded me why I love film and cinematography so much. Beautifully captured and conveyed, great job.
Is this supposed to be a Starbucks commercial? If not, it should be

So good!!! I love it. Especially the shot where you go from panning to handheld at 0:23 ! Such a simple but impactful short.
Thank you so much!
You mean "still"? Like on a tripod or being help up by something?
@@FilmLover4k I don't understand what you mean...I meant the shot i described. At 0:23
@@forrainfilmsdid you used autofocus in this scene? It keep it nice from him walking up to the camera, and then the pan and you going behind him.
@ Yeah, I used autofocus
Que sensacional! Isso foi incrível!!!!!! Me passou uma vibe de guardiões da galáxia
wasn't expecting a story but you delivered, thanks man keep sharing your art with the world we'll be watching
this was so successful because of narrative. It is not just the fancy tools and shots, but compelling storytelling
Oh how I love these cinematic shots ❤
simple plot but incredible film making skills..

This is really masterful. Smart and simple. Cinematography, direction and acting are all top shelf in my opinion. Outstanding short film.
the cinematography is insane in this one, well done!
Short & Powerful film making. Kudos.
(Ivaan G)
YT recommend this great gem! Can’t believe you did this with F2.8, that 12800 ISO is fire 🔥
Great to hear!
The sound design and the cinematography was amazing 👏 love how simple it was yet so full of detail.
Oh man, I enjoyed this and i FELT it
Can you speak a little on how you achieved such vibrant and colors?
Did you use a color correction pallet? What profile did you shoot in? Or what this recorded externally?
You really made the camera shine in this video.
It convinced me to buy this over the komodo.
better than most AAA movies and not a word spoken. well done.

Excited to see more! 😎@@forrainfilms
The story is perfectly told. It got me laughing at the end
Camera movements were so smooth!
FX3? This looks better than some of the shorts I've seen with the FX6
Nicely done. All your experimenting with camera angles and placement is paying off in this one. Loved the combo of lockoff and tracking shots, and the edit between them. Perfect rhythm. Keep going!
Means a lot, thank you very much!
This short film is so amazing! That cliffhanger made me want to see a part 2 🎬🔥🔥 Keep up with the great work guys!!! Can't wait to see more 🏆🏆🏆
Oh this was a gem to watch. The plot is simple but the shots and how everything was laid out were all intentional and well done. Very cool short film! Love the colour grading
Thank you!! 😊
I love the aesthetic.
Gas stations are always cool at night, especially with superb color grading and a (what looks like) 1/4 promist
i really like how engaging this film is even tho it's really simple, i think a lot of filmmakers overlook that. great content, excited to see more 👏
This is so cool, it’s literally such a simple plot line but is still so entertaining and captivating

insanely good loved the shots and grading
For such a simple concept this was executed so well! Really enjoyed it, the shots, the music the ending too

A beautiful moment of normal captured in a stylistic way
GENIAL!!! LO QUE TE PUEDE COSTAR UN CAFE ALAS 2 AM
That's heart wrenching.
But unfortunately also a gift for someone 😅
Lovely pictures.
As a person who doesn’t function well without coffee, Bravo. Great work
love the simplicity of the plot ! Shots we're simple but captivating. great work !
How to make a KILLER FILLM, out of a simple concept. Congratulations!!!
That cinematography is gorgeous and the blocking is on point. Love little shorts with no dialogue like this. Awesome job! 🙌

Man I was wondering if I should start studying filmmaking, this just convinced me to put a foot in it.
Thank you.
Go for it!
Well done. Color, audio, flow. Perfectly executed.
So far the best short film i ever see in youtube
