"Green Means Go" somewestfilms

Okay, I'm popping out of my own order here because I've been dying to comment on this one.

This sh!t was funny -- PUN INTENDED!!

Criticisms... lighting indoors coulda used some work... was a bit flat at times.

But overall this movie was a crackup! The Alien at the beginning seemed so serious but when he came floundering out of the corn I about fell out of my seat laughing so hard.

I also died laughing when the lead has his friend look up is @ss and they are transported out into the field... oh my god, the guy in the background was CLASSIC!!

The "Look ... up... my... @ss" camera shot/edits were great... great use of cinematography/editing to enhance humor.

And what can I say about the sound FX but that you can NEVER go wrong with fart sounds!

Okay, so I can't rank the production value up there with the top films, and there were little flaws throughout, but guys, you did a great job making something entertaining... and not everyone has done that! I REALLY enjoyed this one!
 
Some really funny stuff in here, more the social awkwardness once the friend shows up than the simple fart gags. I didn't think the acting detracted from it at all, myself, and the repeated shot of the field and the dumpster worked well. I thought from the first time it came up "why is that dumpster there? It's huge and green, it must have a purpose." Made the man tossing out his garbage pay off that much better.
 
The look kinda threw me, as the contrast was so low I couldn't tell it was even shot on a DVX. The humor is there, but the look just threw me.

Just $0.02. Look forward to next time with you guys.
 
That very well could be the most farting sound fx
this side of Blazing Saddles.

I gotta say you have a well developed sense of humor. The comedic writing was fairly solid, and the sight gags really worked. I must agree with Yankee on the "alien/probe" scene itself...I felt it was effective in setting up the story.

I do feel that some improvements in production value would have helped. I would like to have seen more dramatic lighting/cinematography...this stark contrast with the outlandish subject matter would have only added to the humor IMHO.

As far as original comedic premises, you many
be on to something here...or...in to something,
as the case may be.

Cheers

I pissed my self watching it. If you had better Color correction and graphics I think this would be one of the best. story wise its hilarious. and the one shot is great. I loved it.
 
I laughed in spite of myself. I'm really not into the bathroom humor so this was a little tedious for me but I know there's a market for your humor and I'm sure your short is plugged into it.

A buddy of mine emailed me at work, and told me to check this film out. He said it was the most bizarre and hilarious thing he ever saw. Damnit if he wasn't right. I laughed so hard, I can honestly say, although ashamedly so, a little pee actually came out.

Good thing I had a change of pants out in the car.
 
Hey!

I haven't read any other posts for you movie, so I am really sorry if i repeat!

I have very mixed feelings about this one. One the one hand, as a fun no-frills movie, I find it hilarious. On the other, as a serious movie entered into a contest I find it lacking. Let me explain what I mean...

It has all the elements of a great South Park episode, but none of the finesse. The shots are nothing special. Lighting is non-existent. Acting is sub-par. Even to be a fun no-frills kind of flick, you still need to show artistry and I just didn't see much here.

Don't get me wrong, some of it was hysterical. Absolutely hysterical. But the execution was really lacking on the technical side. This makes your film hard to score for me because I appreciated the humor value, but how can I reward that other than in screenplay because almost all other elements were average...

You had one of the funniest pieces but one of the more technically deficient as well.

Keep up the good work!

funny funny funny funny

for real - I laughed a lot

wish there was a better button at end of the piece

will have to show a couple of folks this one

you guys should put this on google video or something - it could be one of those shorts that gets emailed all over to everybody.
 
Again, I have to thank everyone for the feedback. We got some really good advice for the next one we shoot. Also, we had no idea this was going to be such a big hit. I'm glad you all enjoyed it, and I am looking forward to the voting and results.

Thanks again!
 
As the Ladies' Man would say:

Now, that's just disgusting.

But awesome all the same. I don't usually enjoy such rampant celebrations of scatological humor :) but come on, that was some funny stuff.

Nice job. :)
 
LOL, I was so engrossed in this one, I didn't even notice if the camera work was c r a p or not. (scuse the pun)
 
i really liked it when they were beamed back in the park and the guy yelled out what are you two doing! dup! then when the other guy patted him on the butt and they both looked befuddled.
 
Are the users of this site completely on crack!? To be completely honest, I didn't figure this film would be one of the winners, seeing as it came just so far out of left field, but come on now: 49th out of 58! What the hell!

Sure, this film wasn't the most polished, but it was a fun film to watch, certainly much more fun and creative than some of the others that I checked out on this site. I don't know, maybe this forum is all about cliques, or maybe some of you just need to remove the corncobs from out of your asses and grow a sense of humor, but to rank this film among the bottom dredges of the festival, that's bullshit. I think you all need to seriously spend a little less time patting your buddy on the back, and a little more time re-evaluating what good filmmaking really is.
