how? what? this is actually incredible. Your transitions are insane, like almost edgar wright level (and i don't say that lightly). Your cinematography is rediculous. Your visual story telling is on POINT. How are you a student applying for the same programs as me? I don't understand. Incredible work! You better get in!

Damn this looks practically professional. Especially that opening sequences. Smooth af

You know what, your work is a film application sample in China, which watched and learned by many of the students who want to make a film portfolio in China. I just want to say, your storytelling skill is such mature. This is not like a student work, but more like an experienced filmmakers work. I'm a Chinese high school student now and I'm filming my own work as well, I hope I can successfully be accepted by some important film schools. men, never give up! you can be somebody!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. I’ve been watching all sorts of application videos for the past year-ish and this is the best one I’ve seen

this walked so the Mandalorian could run

This was like a legit film out there in the cinemas.... Truely amazed.

You're telling me a frickin high schooler made this??? Holy shit this is amazing.

dude i've been binge watching these for ages and finally a good one. rate this highly

Wow you are incredibly talented. I hope to see your name on the big screen one day. Quick question, how do you get your sound so good? Is it just the quality of the mic or is something else involved. Thanks!

How did you shoot in a fully packed diner? Are they actors or did the owners just let you shoot during opening hours?

The moment the amber alert switched onto the radio, I was hooked. Currently binging your channel right now. You are a truly talented filmmaker 🙌

you captured the pace and time of the events all within minutes!

I'm so glad I came across your video. I've been binge watching your short films and I'm obsessed. You are gonna do great things. What an inspiration!! Keep it up.

Superb narrative filmmaking. Minimal dialogue. Strong storytelling through visual choices. Congratulations on a great job!

I love your color grading! Your stories always have a really good twist also!!!

This is some Edgar Wright type stuff right here. AMAZING!!

This was fire! You've got a such a unique and punchy style. Loved it. Maybe I'll see you one day at film school haha

Thank you for raising the bar.

Looking through other film application videos, yours byfar was the most attention grabbing and most entertaining one that I have seen. Really nice work!

Just wanted to let you know, this film inspired my application film. I thought the MoTown driving montage at the start was SUPER dope so I took that as inspiration and kinda built my film out from there.

woah super impressive work! hard to believe you're a student, this looks so professional

this opening is insane !! well done

Dude I've seen so many application films and this one was the most interesting so far! I'm an engineering student but I love making videos and films like these. You're inspiring my dude keep it up!

It is incredibly engaging. Love how the music matches the scenes too

I like this one and the other one The Story of Her. Both are so professional!

really would've been cool to see the last scene. youtube put up a recommended video that ruins the entire ending.

wow you def deserved to get in, how do you get your wide shots so good? I've mastered close ups and medium shots but can't seem to get the wide ones!!!

HOLY MOLY man your shots were so creative!

Hello! This is an amazing short. Did you include the music that was presented in this video when you submitted it? I know it’s copyrighted music, I didn’t think that was allowed unless you bought the rights to it. Just curious, I was inspired by a song and don’t know if I’d be able to actually use it as audio. Thank you!

How did you film the scene in the restaurant without the people being completely freaked out that you're filming??

Absolute gold!

I've always wanted to write and shoot shorts. Great job telling a story with no words. Loved the background effects and the content as well. don't know a thing about it so I just create these crazy KZfaq episodes with one of my alter egos.

wow. this was put together amazingly, hoping to see your name in theatres some day! I am an aspiring filmmaker in gr.11. This was truly inspiring. ☺️

This is the best application film I have ever seen. Holy shit.

Just asking, has film school been worth it so far? Your work already looks like it’s at the same level of film graduates’ thesis films.

2 minutes in and this actually seems like something id wanna watch 😭😭

This made me smile. Amazing job well done!!

I love this so much the ending is amazing

Holy shit dude this is so ridiculously good it's unbelievable! So, where did you end up deciding to go?

Beautiful.

Absolute fire

this oozes with style, dude.

this is incredible

This so great and i love it , definitely looks like a quality movie scene xd 😁😁🤗

my god did you use an arri alexa or something the quality is as good as most films, also the transition at 2:23 is amazing

THIS IS EPIC

This was awesome!

You are so awesome and professional! Why do you even need to go to a film school?🔥🔥🔥

Did you use a DJI drone for aerial shots?

damn. incredible

I love this video! Which website did you use to create the thumbnail?

loved this! the music was great lol

Excellent. Unfortunately the key shot of the entire film is covered up by an ad for the next film. Is there any way of disabling this function?

That was great! I loved the simple but meaningful plot and story structure. Can't wait to see what more you have to come. P.S. Which college did you decide to attend?

h- w- ???? i'm speechless, i don't know what to say. just, wow.

this was so cool!

Awesome dude. Good luck.

Love love love

INSANE

Fantastic. Nuff said.

I love this.

oh my gosh, liam wow. you are just such a wonder like i wish emily was this talented. if only.... shoutout matt doe he chill hmu sometime doe

I'm literally editing my video sample for USC and I see this 😂 how am I supposed to compete with this??? I'm so sad rn

can someone tell me the name of the second song used (3:25) the first if runaway baby right?

this is amazing!! keep it up!

wow, very well done!!

I hate to ask the question that shouldn't matter considering its about whats in front of the camera, what lenses for your short films you have been using lately?

I have a question since I'm making a film in the future is copyright music allowed to use in short films you wanna post on youtube/festival competitions you wanna send it too? It might be a dumb question lmao but i really don't know 😅.

You're so good!

Really awesome content! Saw you at MMEA you seem dope. I'm wondering how you shot in such low light conditions.

Hey, high school film student here... I was wondering how the licensing of the music in this film was done, and if it ended up being very costly. Is licensing cheaper if it's requested by a high school student (because of the smaller amount of visibility?)

Damn.... this is good.

Did you shoot with one camera? And what camera?

i love your short but how are you allowed to use music so it won’t be copyrighted?

It’s giving ‘Raising Arizona’

I always binge watch a lot of film school applications and yours is definitely one of the best I’ve ever seen, how did you achieve the shot at 2:23 ? the only way I can think of is you filmed the day part first?

Just came back because i forgot to click the like button . Awesome!!

Can someone please explain the plot to me? I think I might have a grip on it, but I’m not sure.

So this is the level 😳

This is so good! Could you remove the endcards though? They block the last shot and kinda leave a sour taste in the mouth because of that

Professional......how....crazy.....

That was absolutely amazing, I loved the ending shot, really masterfully done

Sorry to ask you, but what camera do you use for filming?

Question: Can the same video or film sample be submitted for different college applications. For example, can i work on one short film and use it for 3 or 4 applications?

Anyone else have the thumbnail for the ‘next video’ come up right in the center and totally obscure the last 10 seconds or so? It seems he turned the car around?

Awesome work! What song is used at 3:24?

It's awesome!! great work！ I'm a not a native english speaker. So I can't listen the character's lines clearly. Could you add English subtitle for the movie? It will help us understand it better.

some random nights I return here to see that match cut again... 2:20 like did u camp there all night? tape to mark the rough road? did u use ur camera to match it up? did u memorize where the tire stopped to match the rotation of the tire cap? i have so many questions this is beautiful

Ladies and gentlemen we have our next Edgar Wright 🔥

Congratulations! I got into both school as well. Which one are you leaning towards?

This is amazing! What camera did you use?

has anyone ever said your camera work is like edgar wright?

I’m live there

Drone camera?

what college did you choose? love this btw!

why the name shot gun? great film though!

How were they able to make this? They got a cop, they got the restaurant to be ok with it, they obviously have a drone. But like.... jeez

Do you like Edgar Wright

What was ur extra curliculars

As a kenosha resident this is cool and weird at the same time lmao
