Here’s a short film (~11min) that I made two years ago with some of my friends. I’m currently testing video uploading for a project I’m working on and so I’m putting this here. (By the way, youare.tv is awesome!) I, myself, do not appear in the film (as I was the camera operator and director) but you can see my friends Kevin McDonald, Taylor Wilkins, and Chris Rickman as they attempt to solve the mystery of a treasure map that one of them finds. If you watch it, don’t bother watching the credits (they’re super long). click below to play
Also note that we were using the in-camera microphone on a prosumer camcorder so the audio is pretty bad. I ripped this from a DVD (.vob), converted to .avi, and converted to .m4v so all the transcoding has likely affected the quality (it’s really hard to see the dark scenes whereas on the DVD it’s not that bad). Another disclaimer, the acting of the school staff is horrible but, as Taylor says, “What can you do?” Anyway, I really do like the story and am proud of what we made. If you’re wondering about the name “Paramont”, we came up with that for our production company during a separate project as a spoof of Paramount Pictures and since the crew was the same, we kept the name. We definitely had a lot of fun making this film which was, of course, the main point.
