Thought I'd share this. It's a small, mini-short shot with the RED One a couple weeks ago. Enjoy!

A great little short film with great little actors. Editing is fine too.

I have enjoyed it.

Nice video mate. Your kids are great actors.

Thanks, all. I love working with kids (especially mine), but believe me...there is truth to the old adage to stay away from shooting "kids and animals." Whew...plan on blowing a lot of footage trying to get a good take. :-)

iv worked with so called "professional actors" that cant act as well as those kids.........the boy on the bench has a natural talent.

nice little short.

Kevin,

this was so good I laughed so loud my wife came in to see it and we both thought it was great!!!

what great precocious children!!!!!! they did a fantastic job!!!

Oh yea, the camera work was good enough i did not even think about it!!

I loved the image!! wish I could compress my hdv to look so clean on vimeo.

How did you compress it??

thanks for sharing!!!

Oh Man!!! That was FUNNY!!! Great stuff indeed. First, great script, the boys were precious, everything else was gravy. Thank you so much for a wonderful healthy laugh.

Would love to see another episode, a continuation maybe?

Cheers,

I'm very impressed...not only by the story but by the acting from the two main characters. Your older son seems like a natural (actually they both do). You should use them in future projects. Great job. Kudos to your directing also....I understand what you mean about trying to get a good shot. You pulled it off nicely though.

This film was very enjoyable. The simplicity works so well. The acting was great, and man, I wish I could get my hands on a RED.

Cute video. Like others have stated, the one kid on the bench has natural talent...need to get him an agent!

As far as the video goes? Very well put together. The camera angles are good, cuts happen on the action, and everything goes together seemlessly.

Good work!
