Very nice Joey..
The soundtrack ruled.. I love Sigur Ros!
I like the buildup...
And yea, the white balance things was kinda distracting for a moment but none the less this was an awesome showing of your talent..

Joey,
can you e-mail me both movies? Chess Wars and the Christmas movie. My next door neigbor is an executive at Sony Pictures and I think it might be a good idea to pass your work on to him. Not saying anything will happen just might be a good idea. Who knows? Anyway great stuff. |

| Now you've got my hubby as a fan lol. That was outstanding. I read the rest of the replies and since I'm not the type to pick things apart and I don't have a great eye for detail on things like this I really thought it was amazing. The music choice, the way the music went with the scheme of it. Brilliant! |

This movie had both my mom and fiance floored....
16 yr old with more talent than half the crap in Hollywood. I truly hope to see Joey's name there soon. Then I'll have two directors to follow: Joey Lawrence & Nelliyattu Manoj Shyamalan!
:)

Duhh! I've watched this 5 times and I would've known that if I'd have just looked at the credits. :>)
I think it's very well done Joey! A+++

Still serious about coming up and doing some stills of you at work filming. I think someone should be documenting what you are doing.

Thanks for the comments and ideas everyone. I just got back from relatives houses and I am very pleased to see so many responses to it. :-)
I will now attempt to answer some questions...

What are you making these with? As far as hardware and software? |
My video camera is just your average family video camera, it's a sony mini dv camcorder we got about 2 years ago. No 3CCD quality or anything, however it takes relativly nice shots but really suffers in dark areas. (I blurred a lot of the noise in photoshop by hand.) I then can import the footage through firewire where I did the main editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. To grade the footage, I exported section as a .flm into Photoshop CS2. I also did frame by frame dodging on the peoples faces as they look up and see the light. The optics were done in a special effects program called FxLab. You can do them somewhat in Premiere, but masking things is very difficult.

Alright let's do it!

That's the point of not having a title, I think it gives your mind too much to expect and takes away from you forming your own perception of the imagery.

For me, the traveller is walking the whole time as a personal journey to deliver the present. No one is with him, he is alone to bring it himself. He walks by other forms of transportation, but they are broken. Again, perceive it as you want. :-)

When you come to Hollywood, let me know. Would love to meet ya. If you need a DP, I can help you there.

No After Effects, don't have that program... :-(
And yes sure :-)

Simply amazing. I have no idea what it means, therfore it must be art! And not ROFLMAO, either - REAL ART! :-)
Fascinating concept, well executed, and perfectly complimentary soundtrack. Nice work. |

I just showed my wife the video, she adored it 100%. She don't talk much, so I don't know what about it she liked or didn't like, she just said she really liked it, and walked out of the room. LOL. |

Holy Smokes! I didn't realize you did movies too! That rocks! I love it. The music, angles, lighting, and wow, the whole plot. You are very talented. I have a feeling you will go far!

Just had to thank you very much for sharing this. I loved the music, which I have never heard before, and you did such a fabulous job with it - excellent timing. I also love the time lapsed scenery shots.
Thanks again, very much, for sharing.
I'm truly glad I was able to see this. Shannon :) |

As you know, I totally believe in your work and in you (most of the time) LOL. You have my full support. Your work is emotive, creative and has way more soul than a boy your age should have. Your gifted. Use your gift with integrity and honor.
I personally would like to have seen this end with a more spiritual ending (rather than house lights) but there are thousands of ways to do any one thing. This was your interpretation, your vision and its really beautiful.

I really like most of it, but there was a little hiccup (for me) when you switched to shots of Christmas lights at the end.
Would have been nice to go to different houses, and get several full shots of exteriors suddenly switching lights on, obviously different houses, and then time them to the drumbeat. Dunno if you could have pulled it off, but also a top down shot with the lights kind of flowing out in a wave from the cliffside through the city.
Otherwise, well paced with the ascention of the music and generally good stuff.
One more idea, replace the kids racing out of the school with: long straight street of dark houses looking dead center down street, glowing orb shooting up from center of street far off, lights suddenly racing up the street on the houses toward viewer, camera pans as if to catch action, stops 90 degrees on person (girl/guy, whatever) and immediately the camera the rotates around them as they also rotate to watch the lights race onward away from mysterious star/orb, camera still rotating as person does, and then lowers to ground looking up at sky with person staring at the orb/star thingy. then switch back to cliff scene. you'd prolly need a stabilized mounting system for that one though.

I loved it! Very creative and flowed with the music perfectly. Aside from the staged snowfall (which really didn't matter to me) everything drew me in. Keep this up and you'll go far.
Also, I like the Icelandic music. What is the title of the song?
