Hi.

I've been browsing these forums for about a couple months now, checking out everyones videos now and again, signing up sometime between then and now. I'm in the middle of a new project I have going and I figured I might as well break the ice with this first video I made so you guys can get to know me.

I made this video maybe three months ago or so. All of it was filmed by myself in my room on a rainy night with nothing better to do. There isn't a whole lot of story to it, I just thought of an idea and improvised as I went along. Some shots were shaky at times considering I had to hold the camera with one arm in some scenes.. so bear with that. In the end I was pretty satisfied with how it came out.

I noticed I recognized a couple posters from other forums that I visit, so if you've seen this before, don't worry I didn't steal it.. haha.

I'm not gonna really spoil or explain much about it, so just watch it and give it a chance. Feedback and comments(good and bad) are apreciated! Thanks.

Hey Johnny. Welcome to the boards as a fully fledged poster!

Very stylish video. I really liked it. A really nice piece.

That was really good. Held my attention all the way through and well filmed. Nice one and well done.

Nice one! I liked the lighting with the lamp. It made a cool shadow.

that was awesome. what camera was it shot with - the quality is very clear. that's a question i have, i have a digicam but not sure how the quality is gonna be when i start shooting.

all in all, a very nice short and the soundtrack was very appropriate.

Great vid man, I'm jealous that your first work was 1000 times better than mine! Where did you get the prop gun? I've been looking for one for a long time and I might have to resort to spray painting a toy one...
