Fantastic, it captures the feeling of discomfort perfectly, especially the awkward sign off from a bad date. The ending is surprising and gives you a moment to think. It might seem light-hearted but reflects how a lot of guys don't see the issue with 'catching up' with a girl when she explicitly states she is fine getting home on her own 👏🏼

Love the cinematography and the sound design was excellent.

This really scares me, it's magical how you use the camera to cause so many sensations, and the sounds, simon are great, it scares me but I loved it at the same time .✨ PostScript: Great Job.

That ending made me breathe hard out of my nose, loved it! Great job, Simon!

I like it. Very suspencefull and the twist at the ending is nice! Did you use just natural street-light for this one? Great job! :-)

This is a nice little short Simon ! Thanks for sharing with us. The sound design is perfect ! Nice look as well !

Nice shooting, quality cinematography.

There is a shocking amount of tension in the concept of a man who clearly isn't getting the social cues. His motivations become vague, is he actually intending to hurt her or is he just not understanding what's happening? It is actually suspenseful.

confusion

The conclusion to the story was a little confusing but the sound was excellent in places and the cinematogtaphy was movie like. Great job 🙂

Ketchup, comes free with the Canon Rebel T3i I suppose. Good work!!

Its funny when you know brighton and it seems like she teleports everywhere 😂 Magic of movie making eh!

Oh that was very well done! Set me up beautifully.

Great film! Also props to you for making it 16:9. It's so easy to slap black bars at the top and bottom but you said no to that.

Simon Cade does it again! Love it

Loved it. The cinematography is great.

Masterpiece!!!🔥

nice romantic short film

That choice of words, well played, well played. Good strategy BTW on how to escape a lunatic

Well done! Loved the funny ending and music!

LOL thats a nice film after such a long time by you

10 out of 10

sounds as good ! :o

Amazing video 😍😍

great stuff mate ;) tiara wrote a great script

Good job on the night shots.

Well this def just inspired me to not be so content with my dayjob and to get back to making films. WOW. Such an incredible job man.

Awesome job. This is quite inspirational to the point I feel excited about making one of my own. Btw I noticed that some shots especially the shots about the lady freaking about the noise could've used a telephoto lenses that keeps getting tighter with each cut so enhance the sense of claustrophobia or the sense of being stuck in this uncomfortable situation

The audio for these short films makes it as if I’m watching it at a movie theater. And the color gradients are really great too. Amazing short film dude

Nice work man

loved it 🤣😂

Great short. I really liked the mood of the film.

Woah, that's a good one!

Good job Simon + friends!

Lovely twist at the end 🤟

wow that was good

Am I the only one a little confused, was he a stalker, or was he just weirdly following her home to make sure she got there? I'm not really sure what the take away is tbh. All I know is that it has something to do with fear of walking alone at night as a woman. That aside, great short film from a technical prospective, the lighting, the different shots and the sound all come together really well. Props!

Really great Simon, catch up.. I had to see te end 2 times to see it was ketchup😉 enjoyed it!!

Your short made me remember my past. I'm not a Londoner. But lived there briefly while on course. One night class ended late - couple of yobs kept disrupting. Got to my station after midnight. Too cold to walk so I waited for the bus. An obviously drunk basketball player of a man asked where i lived. I know we're not to talk to strangers but if ignored, he would have coshed me one. Or two. Anyway i lied and said home was a street before my actual. He said he lived there too. He didn't ring the bell when the bus got to his home. But when i alighted at the next stop, he jumped off the bus, just before doors closed. I could hear him walking behind me. i continued walking until i sensed (from engine sounds and headlamp reflection) there werent any more cars. I looked back. He was still behind me but the road was clear. I ran across the road and picked up a small rock. Not as a weapon against him. But if attacked, I'd hurl rock at a neighbours greenhouse. Hopefully that would get some attention. Your short made me recall the high anxiety i experienced years ago. I think the natural lighting made it more realistic. So just as you don't regret making it, me no regret watching it, Mr C.

Good Stuff !!!

That ending... lmao!!

Unexpected end which was so funny...........Good cinematography..........Go ahead bro!

What happened to your cinematography?

OMG my Friend that was so awesome!!!!! I about died at the End!! what a great job, and great camera movement. LOVED IT!!!!!! What mic did you use ?

Enjoy the cinematic composition with great quality sound also cameras angles were well positioned to support out the thriller projection 👍🙌

I liked this

Hahaha that was great

Talented wouldn’t be the first word I’d use to describe you as a Filmmaker

one of your greatest fans. pls keep posting more videos like you used to do. you were one of the oldes film making channels!

I though she killed the stalker.She just threw ketchup at him.Very good survival lol.

Hi simon! Just saying, You make awesome videos! Keep Up The Good Work! Now i know what to do after watching some of your videos from 2015-16! thank you very much!!! (Video of 2015-16: How to shoot cinematic look, how to shoot low light, and more!)

HAHAHAHA Great!

He got the sauce

hahaha nice!

wowowww!! Everything was top-notch, amazing job! I think if you had a bigger budget to get some better lighting this would genuinely be a cinema-level short film (but ofc we don't all have the same luxury as a box-office film lmao)

When she was juggling the keys I thought she would put them between her fingers as a caste, like we girls do 😅 Poor guy, couldn't "ketchup" with her 😅

Very nice short film! Great casting and acting. Of course you know that the main problem is focus. With that out of the way: some really great shots and smooth camera work! Well I would love to ask you a few questions (lenses used, ISO, f-stops/T-stops, intended rack focus, etc...) and exchange information if you like. Please let me know.

Very clever

😂 the title

Very clever...

Oi! You got a loicense fo' that ketchup?

For a second there at the end that kid looked a bit like a young george harrison

Catch Up - Ketchup

What camera did you use for this?

Didn't get it.

Dead icl

Haha ketchup... I get it😜

Someone know the name of the Credits Fonts? i really love both

I believe you shot it with T5i?

This is fantastic! The plot seems so simple on paper, but I think you manage to make every moment on screen worth watching. I also felt incredibly uncomfortable throughout the entire thing - and it seems like that was your intention. Well done. 👍

Ha!

Ketchup 😂

Lol...nice humour

funny end

Is this filmed in Brighton?

Inspired by fox force five's joke!

what

At the 0:41 mark, what kind of mm lens would require to get this look? Thank you

Really good but just need a little of back story like it seems as if the guy just appears there. So maybe show him walking up. There are a few other places where you need a little continuity but other than that it was good.

Can’t believe this isn’t banned off KZfaq already. The amount of graphic violence fit into that last few seconds is mind boggling at best, and deplorable at worst. Film shouldn’t be used to portray such evil acts. I’m contacting the Dove foundation.

More like the "ketchup" joke from Pulp Fiction😂

Was this sponsored by Heinz?

All that for a joke. Looks like someone watches Pulp Fiction! 😂

I really thought she killed him!

Ketchup?

What is the story here? I get the suspense element but still, what is going on?

Did he just walk behind her because he cared for her ?

could've made the ending more obvious, had to look in the comments to see what the heck happened there, initially I thought she stabbed his hand with a sharp key...

its so bad, again LOL I used to love ur vids back in the day

Great short, but i'm a little confused were those two on a failed date? Because he said it was a nice evening and hugged her. Or is he some creepy random guy?

i dont think i get it....

Getting good at building up suspence but the whole thing was let down by poor lighting .. something to build upon?

pls ppsot

Wut ?

It's all really structurally sound and there's solid communication, but I found the visual language a little bit boring. The compositions don't tell us much of anything, and there's very little dynamic or meaningful movement in it. Lots of flat shots on sticks.

Tip: when things started to get serious I would have tried keep the same shots but make them slightly zoomed in more. The stakes were supposed to have been higher and wouldn’t have even noticed the amount of walking that happened as there would have been a massive shot change as the lingering feeling built.

Amazing short film, love your work! I direct short films as well, any support would mean alot!

it's a old joke right catch up ? ketchup ? atleast in India..

Ok..... my immediate reaction was......... what? Then I laughed. Really girl? That was your solution? Take it from me. Next time. Concealed carry works better. True you would have shot an innocent man. But you will have that. Lol.
