this is good but you can't say it isn't staring anyone. you still have to credit the actor/s who did the actions even when you don't see them. even if its you. you created a character with a name and a presence so you still have to give credit to the person behind the actions.

Great! This is what I was looking for! Modern film makers are intellectually multi-handicapped morons. They rely completely on actors or actors disguised as animated animals to drive the film. It's not that it isn't mildly satisfying to see a creature struggle for some objective. But it is the absolute only theme that is ever presented in film. Are we utterly unable to sacrifice convention to think up something original? It's almost as if film is defined by the face on the lens or canvas, and not the camera or artist who creates the scene. There lies a disconcerting feeling that humans are not capable of experiencing artistic pleasure without the social element. Maybe we're simply too afraid to try sometimes. Or maybe we're too dumb. Harsh words, I know. But never even in the subculture media do I hear that anyone even considers the possibility of omitting the human element from films that aren't short or half-assed. They can't do it. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed this grand piece of art. The visuals reveal a keen eye. A fixation on objects and details. Everyone can gain something from watching it. That's what makes it worthwhile.

Actors make a film more convenient. The emotion conveyed through this film could have been enhanced by a good actor. Film makers are not 'morons' for simply choosing actors. That is like insulting a painter for using a paint brush. Sure, you could create a painting without a paintbrush, but a paintbrush makes the final work a lot neater and better. And it makes the process a lot more convenient too. The job of a director is not to figure out how to tell a story through the lack of actors, but to figure out a compelling way to tell a unique story. Overall, the story of this film could be summarized into: don't use your phone, you could get into a car accident. The raw emotion is missing, since our connection with any character is just inanimate objects. No personality, no traits, no emotions on their face, just objects. I commend the filmmakers for trying something new and I definitely think that making a film like this is difficult. But do not call a director a handicapped 'moron' for using actors. They are only handicapped morons if they are unable to tell a unique, interesting and compelling story. A painter is not a handicapped moron for using a paintbrush, but he is a handicapped moron if the final product is repulsive.

My face isn't aloud to be in a video so I'm trying to make short videos without them. Being inspirational creating episodes and talking a bit about my life. The only thing is I want to create comedy sketches. I already have but how do I make videos without my facial expressions any ideas? I don't want to use Lego men or anything like that though.
