Oh man, I think we all can relate to that problem. When I made Poker Night, I invited about 18-20 people over to help, all of whom said yes. In the end, 8 (exactly the number of people that I needed) showed up.

That's basically the reason why I star in everything that I make. It's out of necessity. If student filmmaking has taught me nothing else, it has showed me that people are unreliable. God I hate people...

As much as I like filming stuff, sometimes lol (never thought id say this) they want to film too much. lol I was with a bunch of guys (Aroud Eight) of which only about three had been in "our" (My and another guy produce and direct everything, and a third guy helps out alot) movies before. Well we started filming at aroud 8:15 PM and stopped at 4:05 AM in the Morning about 6 Hours Non-stop filming and LOL since we were using a compact-s-vhs and didnt want to edit that night we only made about 12 Minutes of footage lol. And overall it was pretty good considering it was all in good fun. But then again what I, all directors make generally looks better to you then it does to others. Like I like the movies I do, but none of them are "complete" and by complete I mean actually pushing my/everyones abilities in making a short film. When I actually put one of my films on studentfilms Im hoping its at least 1/2 of my abilities.

I cant complain as much as others through since I do have a fair amount of available people for me movies and 4 of them are in advanced drama classs of some kind, two know some more of martial arts, and msot of us are more then willing to give up are weekends to film something.

I'm gonna have to try that pizza idea.

As far as the drama becoming a comedy, this has happened to me. One film we were making invovled a guy hiring a hitman, but the hitman only has a small roll - like two scenes at 2 minutes all together - and my friend playing the hitman just screwed our movie up. Reason is he wasn't around during the rest of the filming, he didn't even know the plot! And since most of our movies were comedies he tried being funny - which didn't work.

There's actually alot of movies that I really love on this site, but I also have to say that "Takeback 2" is my favorite movie is well. If you look at the film reviews, me (Chandler Mays), Ian Simpson, Adam Scherer, and Chris Johnson, who are all members of 2am Productions, all have our lips planted permanantly to Stephen Reedy's ass. The movie is brilliant on so many levels. I watch the film atleast once a week.

Other movies I enjoyed included "The Aviator", which had the most surprising ending to a movie of all time. I almost sh*t myself with laughter when I saw it. "Angst Soap" was another very funny short. "Orphans" is probably the most beautifully shot movie on this site. I really like that movie. One movie that WOULD be my favorite on the site if it weren't for one reason is "Inherited Conspiracies". I think that's the title, but I'm talking about the film involving the uncovering of who assasinated Kennedy. That movie was amazing. The only thing that didn't make it my favorite is the main character looks like he's in second grade, and that kind of ruined the realism for me. But everyone should still see it because it's brilliant and very well-made.

There's my two cents.

Chandler Mays

Best films (from what i've seen so far):
1. X vs. Y
2. Orphans (Singh's "Reset" is good as well)
3. Natural Benevolence

I would have to honestly say that Midnight in a perfect world by Reedy has to be the best on here. He took a very simple story and made it unique and emotional and those kind of films are the best kind!

Dare to be diffrent... dont give in to the "norm"

Execution

Hey, I'd like to say, my fav film on here is prolly Orphans, it's got great cinimatography and a pretty interesting story. And thanks Tyler I'm glad you like "Deep as a Coffee Mug".

Deep as a coffee mug ruled, but isn't Maharishi some sort of eastern philiosphy?

If you don't look I'll force you to _=_

Can I have more than one favourite? Can you stop me trying? :-)

Action: Takeback 2 for the fact it doesn't take itself seriously.

Comedy: Josie is one of the best executed i've seen so far.

Animation: See you on the other side ... see it and weep that you (and myself) can't animate like that!!

Music Video: Five Hundred Miles ... amazingly funny for an amazingly bad song that shouldn't have left Scotland.

Experimental: BBHB. Nuff said.

Commercial: Fedex Spec Ad by Keith Bowden. Simple and effective.

Documentary: One Night Stand-Up by ... hey that's one of mine!

It was a trailer, but it was has been the best film I've seen so far. "The Hands" check it out, it looks downright professional.

I've been thinking about it, and I think I was thinking of Berry and Jerrys' romantic evening. But I don't know if that's better then waffles. I think I'll watch waffles again.

Q.What did the right leg say to the left leg?
A. Watch out for the guy in the middle. He's a real dick

any showing naked women

this from the person who says kubrick77 sux? maybe you better reconsider how much kubrick77 sux after that remark. although im sure beyond your obsessive porn watching you do find time to see an actual film. do you?

Why is it that this Kubrick77sucks loser has no description under his name? He isn't classified as a member or a Junior member, and you can't see how many posts he has, and where he is from. And also, on the member list, everyone else's name is a blue link...his is white.

"Don't breathe or I'll kill you!"

how about a student film remake of striptease?

that might be fun

no. remake showgirls.yumyum
