Lost at Sea

I think they finally gave up on take 29... where the ran out of the tape (or space)... and still not done... LOL
 
That was awesome! Hilarious! Out of all the films I've seen so far I've laughed at this one the most and hardest! Awesome job guys, the acting was great too!
 
Great job guys! I was getting uncomfortable when he put his hand on the guys knee and then the first "Cut!" It got progressively funny until I was quaking by the end of it! Great job...
 
No bullsh*t.

Best so far, and I've watched what people are probably assuming are the best.

I suspect we could have another winter lilacs here (or whatever that shoulda' won something flick was called)...

SPOILERS!



I noticed the bumps on the dolly in and thought "f*ckin' amateurs" (think Labowski)... then when it looked like a gay thing I thought "f*ckin' hollywood agenda BS"... then when I heard the first "CUT!" and watched the story of ALL OUR VIDEO MAKING LIVES unfold... I thought "f*ckin' BRILLIANT!"

So far this is the only flick that I can't wait to show to all my friends... CONTENT IS KING!

Great idea... rooted in so much truth... well executed.

Freakin' 291 views... possibly the most entertaining flick in the bunch and freakin' 291 views... don't miss it folks... try to drink anything while you watch this but put anything you don't want sprayed with beverage... in a bag... it's spit-take funny.

My favorite part is the cheesy mustache and the reaction of the guy after being pressured into shaving it... so many layers... it's like "who cares at that point?" and yet, the actor cares, and the grip/slate guy cares... LOL! Seriously.
 
Genius. Pure genius! This film had me literally laughing out loud. All of us as filmmakers can relate to this. "Where's the couch?!" "F*&k it!" Oh man, some actors are really like that and this piece was clever all the way to the end. Congrats. You guys mad a very memorable film.
 
I really started laughing my ass off towards the end and then tried to fight it but to no avail. My family is asleep. :)

Hands down the funniest entry I've seen yet. Really great work, guys.

MAH
 
I've watched about a third of the films. I would have seen a few more but I keep going back to this one. I hope people realize how well written and performed this is. Comedy is often thought of as lightweight but this seems to get better with each viewing. This is every bit as good as "A Brief Case" in its own right. :thumbup::thumbup:
 
Fantastic work guys. I don't really have anything to critique. Execution was wonderful, nice escalation. Good stuff.
 
I'm up to about 10 films now and the more I watch, the better this one gets. It makes me laugh out loud just thinking about it.

Writing is writing. Don't kid yourself into thinking comedy is easy. This little flick shows some serious skill from everybody involved. I think the incredible film tools (cameras) available to people is slowing down the overall pace of many films. The imagery is so good that people are creating moving pictures, rather then telling tight stories... I'm seeing a lot of entries that make me think "that is so beautiful" but then after a minute or so I'm thinking... yeah, so beautiful... and... um... uh...

as you can see: these prizes would be great for us.
keep talkin us up.
Can't wait to get to the other films this weekend.
We've got a BUSY week at work.
 
thanks everybody! i'm so glad people are digging this.

I probably won't have time to start watching and commenting until sunday or monday but I can't wait to get lost!
 
This really is a terrifically executed piece. The comedic timing of the actors, director, and crew members were spot on, and I really enjoyed the repetition of the film, expressing the monotony of filmmaking itself, especially with those that just won't cooperate. When they try to do the scene without the "Cal" character is just fantastic. I love that the AC plops down next to the actor like a stand-in. His reaction to the "ok, lose the moustache" was terrific, followed by a well-timed cut.

Generally, this work really stands out! Every little thing had me rolling. Other than the film being highly compressed, I really have nothing terribly important to nit-pick. Or nothing that would be of any use, anyway.

Loved it! :beer:
 
LMFAO!! I'm still laughing as I type this...really great job in every aspect. I think this one will hit home with any filmmaker, cause we've all been there!

Thanks for good laugh, I needed that!
 
Since the spoilers are already out... I like how the AC is trying to hide the fact that he's homophobic and uncomfortable with the prospect of a kiss (the way he leans his head away all the way to the couch arm)... and then later as the whole shoot is going to hell... he looks down in personal resignation to just get the damn thing done before turning toward the sailor, mentally preparing for the horror of the kiss... but as the outside lighting reveals, everybody just wants to go home... so he's ready to do it... and of course the other guy is ready the whole time, because he's the actor... man... I'm also laughing out loud as I'm typing. :)
 
First film that made me laugh out loud. Very very funny.

Of course, it's totally ridiculous. But what's wrong with that?

Not much negative to say. Think you totally nail what you're going for.
 
Haha!
MattinSTL and Lawsuit_Boy:
I love that you guys have given him the title "AC"
I think we all thought of him as the Grip.
Morgan Pritchard is his name, and he's a dream.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Apparently I was the Only one thought this.

I freakin loved it. This was great. Loss of the couch was a little much for me, but still great. My favorite thing was watching it get progressively darker out, as it goes from a gorgeously lit magic hour shot, to a kinda nice dusk shot, to a mediocre night shot, and finally a crappy night shot. Seriously so funny. Go ComedyFest. Way to use the DVX too by the way.
