Video: Hopelessly Devoted

[Shizznid]

Hey ya'll. I've been bored these days, without a job and all. So I made a little film I thought the SV'ers might enjoy. You can view it here:

Hopelessly Devoted (http://www.socalsvriders.com/download.php?op=getit&lid=44) (right click, save file as...)

Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Damn, I would have watched it if I could.

Microsoft doesn't try that hard to make windows media really work on a Mac. I guess they figure they're already beaten by quicktime. Or maybe they worked it out specifically in a deal with like a non-competition clause.

great vid! :D I did notice that you didnt flush the toilet after your morning piss! :p

[bwarbiany]

Nice...

One thing I think you should have improved... You should have actually shown what was on TV...

MOTORCYCLE RACING!!!

:D

[Jarasco]

OK, who else tried to see what was in the chat box on the socalsvriders.com webpage? I know I wasn't the only one.

Were you a film student? That was a great video!

[FuzyTech]

Nice video!

I'm gonna beat Kurt & Nuke to it and say Motorcycle is one word. ;)

[bling_thing]

Shizz,

Macs can't read whatever you did. Can you make it an .mpg? I think it might be the server software on Paul's end not working with OSX or something.

Wanna ride this weekend somewhere? Florida?

[sandie]

hmmmm...i'm having a hard time seeing it too
bummer, from the responses it sounds good!

[madmakr]

=D> Zack you rule!!

Greatt short film. Unnemplymment is good for ssomthhing.

I thought I was the only one who slept in full gear!

Loooking forward to mmore films. Maaybe one from the gathering wouuld be cool.

I love motor cycles.

[Kurt'sSV]

Ha ha, dude. That's pretty funny.

Will you be bringing your camera to the gathering?

[Tillers_Rule]

Damn dude, that made my day. That was pretty damn funny. Glad to see your job hunting is going so wellhttp://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies/contrib/corky/corkysm50.gif



BTW, who does that song?

[linp]

Does the Windows Media Player for Mac OSX here work?

And he took a dump in his leathers...ewww. Seriously though, you did a great job Shizz. Terrific short.

[Shizznid]

Thanks to everyone....I'm glad you all liked it. I'm not sure about the MPG version. Until I get all the bugs worked out of Adobe Premier, I'm using Windows Movie Maker - which only prints in WMV format. I'll see what I can do for the Gathering - I'm totally bringing my camera.

The song: "Fight Test" - from the new Flaming Lips record.

Broughbeater: I can't do the ride this weekend, Sat and Sun are booked. (for once)

Oh, and I GOT A JOB, finally!

-Zack

[Machine]

Very nice film...:)

[Golden_Eternity]

Based on the thread title, I was afraid it was gonna be set to Olivia Newton John.

For some reason, the fact that I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, makes me feel a lot better about myself :D

[chukiechz]

very cool video!!!

[idukes]

I know exactly what GE is talking about, I think. That's from Grease, right?

And I don't feel bad about myself at all. Even if I should.

Either you've never seen Grease, or you've never been in choir (don't knock it, hot chicks)...

[cracked lid]

Great Video. I couldn't read the chatbox, but the POTW looked like Vicelike's girlfriend riding gear post. I was expecting motorcycle racing on TV as well.

[Guzzigirl2000]

Oh may god - that was totally funny
I was cracking up dude

[rb643]

That was great! lol

[Shizznid]

Regarding the lack of Motorcycle Racing on the television:

Do you think I'm going to play into everyone's expectations?

No no no no no. I actually have a shot of the TT I was going to splice in there, but figured it was too over-the-top. Maybe the directors cut will have it.

-Zack

[sdsvpilot]

That was great! :D

[Mark_E_Mark]

DAMM Bro!!! Nice video.
But you must be making too much money from unemployment......I saw you had a fully stocked fridge (reflection from visor)!!!
Unemployment should barely pay for a supply of grits and top ramen for every meal.
Congratulations on the new job, I hope this doesn't mean no more videos???

[Shizznid]

Mark: I just moved from New York City to Los Angeles, and I can still claim New York State Unemployment. Due to the much higher cost of living in NYC, my unemployment works out to about $2000 a month. Hence the fully stocked fridge. It's sort of ridiculous, actually. I just took a job that only pays me slightly more than what I make on Unemployment.

3 Bedroom, 1 bath apartment in Manhattan: $3200
2 Bedroom, 2 bath apt w/garage in Hollywood: $1150

I love California...

[Sentinel]

=D> Great "job" on the movie.

[NukleoN]

That kicked ass Zack! Hey motorcycles is one word...oh wait, somebody beat me to it. Congrats on finding a job (but yeah, it sucks to only make a bit more than unemployment). Hey you should get into the video biz somehow...or make movies..yeah that's it.

Nice work..big smile on my face..and I agree with Brad, you should have showed yourself watching motorcycle racing. Perhaps you could have even been reading a motorcycle novel such as 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' before bed. :)

Love the fridge shot too...oh and you didn't wash your hands after taking a leak..I know I know..artistic filtering..poetic license..makes sense...oh and I thought you should never have lifted your visor...keep the mystery. :)

:D

[Shizznid]

You'll have to wait for the sequel, "2 Hopeless 2 Devoted"

[cbrfreak]

You had me smiling the whole time!:)
Others have mentioned that you didn't flush, and didn't wash your hands after pissing. What I notice was the fact that after you were done "reading", YOU DIDN'T WIPE!!! :p

[Karter18]

Great video, our new computers at work have so much security I had to watch it tonight.

I thought you pulled out a bob marley when you grabbed the pen to type with after I read what was typed on the screen.

Maybe you got a job making movies as I thought that was entertaining and I am sure it is better than Biker Boyz even though I have not seen the movie.:D

[Cooker]

Zach,

A really well done video. Good use of effects without overdoing it.

Did you burn out your unemployement? how many months did it carry you for, and how many did they say were left?

--I believe everybody should claim unemployment whenever possible so as to better fight the Pig Empire.

[sandie]

yay! i finally got to see it!

too cute! what a talented bunch of people we have on this board :)

[Vicelike]

I love it:p .

Was thinking how cool if it should survive our civilization and was discovered in a dig in the year 4595.

That movie would really get them talking to themselves.

I can see them now, working with a large screen version, studying my post of the week rules for girl friend gear.

My best chance to be famous. :confused:

I've used up about 15 weeks of it, even though I moved to Cali in March, and haven't been working since late January. I've got a total of 26 weeks worth. But, as of Monday morning, there's no need for that shit anymore. (Thank god.)

I'm not quite sure I understand what you are saying.

[bling_thing]

Shizz,

Damn it! It won't play on Pam's Windows XP computer either.

Why can't it export to something civilized?

I have WMedia 9 for OSX. Pam has the newest WM for her computer.

What gives?

your helmet, you know, the thing on your head. its really, really shinny.

unless thats not you in the video.........

either way, that helmet is pretty damn polished.

[Shizznid]

Regarding the helmet: Thanks, I appreciate it. It takes a lot of work to keep that fingerprint machine clean.

Pat: I don't know. Throw it out the window. I have no idea how half this shit works.

[Tillers_Rule]

So Zack, when can we expect the next movie?:D
