Myke makes films. I make films too, but only at uni. I once made The Baggers though, for fun, but lets not go there....

whats up boyhood?

[boyhoodbravery9]

whats up boyhood?

Not too much.  I've only recently started being paid for doing work on films, which is pretty exciting (since it's what I want to do with my life), but I'm away from home alot.  Mehh.  You?

[moneycash]

keeping busy with various projects, none too noteworthy at the moment.

[boyhoodbravery9]

What sort of projects?

[moneycash]

inspiring revolutions, mostly. 

[boyhoodbravery9]

Well, naturally.

I recently made this short, which got featured on Dailymotion.com's front page, but in all honesty took about 4-5 hours to make.

wow, i really enjoyed the film you posted the link to on your first post. its noir feeling and that old ritzy feel you just dont get in sounds and footage much these days. i reckon you captured the female dominance perfectly with the shots and the delivery was brilliant./

[boyhoodbravery9]

Thanks very much!  I made it around this time last year and it's a bit of a departure from my other work.

[Abi]

i really like it. im currently working on some short films too. this year after college it will consume me

do you have any particular inspirer's?

[Ploe]

Myke makes films.

My ears are burning.

I like acting. Shame the scene is full of utter tosspots. If anybody wants a 6ft3 fella with shoulder legnth brown hair to do anything, just give me a buzz.

[The Bolshevik Dandy]

I act.I've done a few school production(Willy Russel's Our Day Out..I played Mr. Briggs)
I've also done SHakespear(Much Ado..) At Wakefield's Theatre Royal...Doin' Dram gcse then Theatre at college too...

[boyhoodbravery9]

Here's a trailer for a film I was lucky enough to act in for a friend:

Bravo! Loved your 'film noir'. You pulled it off and with such class! I've made a couple of films in college (the most recent with Abi) of which I would love to expand on, possible remake it, or add more shots to make it just right. Time can really make all the difference. Even though we were very [fucking] dedicated, you can never have too much of it.
Wish there was a way of posted films without going through youtube..dont really fancy 'giving' my film to them.

Influences anybody?
I'm very big on Michel Gondry at the minute - really cant wait for his collaberation with Daniel Clowes to come out either..exciiiiiiiited.

[Johnny]

I have so many great ideas for films, but no video camera. Anyone selling any cheap?

[pease-smith]

I once had pretences of being stanley kubrick. i know now that i will only be me. i did a few shorts at college. but seeing has it's forced on you it's no biggy. i should get round to editing a certain film someday. but i'm looking forward to being in an environment where i am forced and also given good tools for creating more films which is university hehe.

Here's a couple of films. Has you can see I stray on the wrong line of pretension.

I'm just David.  : )   www.myspace.com/pretzel17

That's cool that you've seen the film before though.  Haven't posted here in a long time though, it seems.  Here's a few of my projects I've been working on:

David: edited this post to tidy up. It's actually pretty simple to post videos on here: you don't need the full embed code, simply post the URL where the video is displayed and Hey Presto! your video appears. Works not just with YouTube but with most video sharing sites. Carpe diem, Mike, Editor, UD.

Mmm...could get into these...look its 5am here and I've watched the first two...in the first I'm getting shades of Bowie's Absolute Beginners Promo Video and Bugsy Malone. The female is very striking.. features chiselled by a bonesmith - woman or ladyboy or professiona gymnast ? That diaphragm of hers is a wonder of the world. She plays both roles in the first I presume with quite elan I'll wager. Either that or they're related. She'll go far. I will watch the other two, I'll agree they're very professionally edited though not entirely sure what you're trying to  say - apart from look at this bit of rather fit bit of semi naked skirt contort and cavort about for your delectation. Sssssss! Almost Advanced Diploma in the dark side of Designer Porn ? Perhaps you should introduce me to them and I'll discuss it with them further. Liza Minelli meets Sigourney weaver ? Hmmm. I'll watch the others when I'm rested and let you know what i think. Another question which comes to mind...sustaining that look and ambience for three minutes or so is one thing..could you do  it over a couple of hours I wonder ?

Scanning through the others you obviously have a penchant for casting somewhat supple, agile and comely members of the fairer sex and filming them in such a way that is dare i say...alluring. Placing them at the mercy of their own bodies in the camera's mind's eye. You have a natural photographer's talent for making them look good for which I'm sure they are boundlessly grateful. Theyre almost 3D llife models animated off guard ... corner of the mind's eye shots and all that...what a girl does when you're not watching...and no hint that they are at any time acting. The hallmark of a good director. Hmmmmm....

[Mr. Goldberg]

Car journey trailer has shades of Picnic at Hanging Rock / Blair Witch Project about it...I'd like to write a script for that one...Tennessee Williams & Eugene O'Neill and Edward Albee come to mind as masters of backseat dialogue of epic proportions - the great American car journey where people discover themselves in the backs of Buicks bumping along the Rockies - en route to some grand spiritual awakening don't know if you've ever read them - a dark treatment of that would be interesting.....the girls have murder in their eyes.

                                                                        

             
Your little gaggle of chicks rather do it for me.  Haven't felt this way since Drama Soc.                       sssssssssssss!                                               

[boyhoodbravery9]

Thanks for fixing my post, Mike... & good to know.  I'll bear it in mind.

& thanks for all your opinions, Mr. Goldberg.  A couple of them were unintentionally funny (I'll leave it to you to figure out which), but most of them were illuminating and fun to read.  : )

Here's my newest short, & last film of the year.

I watched a few of these.  Fucking weird man.  I loved them.  The girl lighting the cigarette off the stove reminds me of my younger days.
