[@MilkyFxFilms]

I love how simple the plot of the story is. Yet even so, through the cinematography it becomes an entertaining watch. Young filmmakers, myself included could learn from this. Sometimes its not about having the best dialogue or the best plot. Sometimes it about just putting the viewer on a simple but pleasant ride.

[@forrainfilms]

You got what we were thinking while making this. Thank you for a lovely comment.

[@chymarsowell]

Your stuff is dope

[@rubensims5864]

Very well said!

[@SaraTarannum]

These were my exact thoughts while watching this😍

İnspiring 🌪

[@taco2422]

as a person with a bike , i deeply resonate with his sadness . Incredible smooth transition , great colors and sounds . All and all an enjoyable short

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you 😇

[@monkeyattackedmyass5435]

A guy who doesn't lock his bike up and also parks it around the corner out of sight to make it easy to steal. And then the thing that literally everyone knew was going to happen happens and that resonates with you? Okay.

[@StainsStainsStains]

Literally just a Starbucks ad.

[@bexiexz]

yea same

[@Infinitetech-ogda]

@@monkeyattackedmyass5435 In hindsight every mistake is visible, but come on; its 2 am, there is no visible spot to lock the bike, you are gonna spend less than 2 minutes inside that shop, aint no way its getting stolen. been there, done that

[@arnisbrown5848]

Being a backyard filmmaking junkie and having a lot of my bikes stolen (thanks nyc and sf) this hit all the bittersweet spots. Great job.

[@Ray-pp5qb]

Same.

[@nikostalk5730]

so why don't you set up cameras and catch the rat?

[@bryanalcantarfilms]

It amazes me how camera movement does a lot for a film. I feel as if many new age filmmakers are not utilizing this technique anymore. Great job!

[@KABOBkabob]

Lol like 99% of KZbin filmmakers gimbal spam. It is an extremely popular technique

[@SteveSmith-ze5mw]

@@KABOBkabob The difference is this is motivated. You just said what the problem is. Motivated movement in these types of exercises is very rare. Extremely good here.

[@SystemParanoia]

A love letter to all the bikes we've loved and lost 😭😭

[@forrainfilms]

Right 😢

[@stevenburkhart]

The best part about this video isn't the theater level image quality. It's the motivated camera movements, the incredible compositions, the shots that needed to be static were. Just incredible and enjoyable to watch. And what a challenge to my shooting. Just beautiful.

[@NelmarDayanan]

As a cyclist, I am triggered when he didn't lock the bike at the beginning... then later on I knew that would happen lmao

[@mrh-TO-Canada]

Yup. That was my first thought: you should lock that bike up.

[@RobertSweet-nw4tm]

ALWAYS lock your bike

[@Ice_breezy]

no matter what,where i always lock my bike. the feeling of losing a bike😭

[@StefanusWijayanto-w1e]

Good coffee, bad day. Thats should be the title 😂

[@creativside]

You have the director's eye. The angles, perfect mix of static and moving shots. Continuation and story telling for a simple script is awesome. Keep going!

[@vizzzler]

THE CUTS ARE SO CLEAN OMG

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you man!

[@JuliusConway]

They most definitely are

[@mr.noobody369]

define "clean editing" means

[@ThePanningPhase]

what he said.

[@videosibueno]

As an aspiring film maker/videographer and an avid BMX rider who has had multiple bikes stolen over the years, this was very captivating!

[@grantgibbs_]

Wow, this is amazing. The color grading, the shot selection, sound design, all of it is just fantastic. You are seriously talented dude!!! I can't wait to see you do something longer!!

[@forrainfilms]

Thanks a ton!

[@CBT_productions]

@@forrainfilmswhat lens and other details did you need to make this short film? And what did you have to do for the color grading?

[@ovrmya]

i love watching these short films so i can study every detail, the camera angle, the lighting, the editing, i been binge watching these for the past week and i’m so inspired to become a small filmmaker someday. i love the simplicity of this one, it’s like a normal real world scenario i would observe from afar.

[@boenje]

Camera work, lighting and color grading - So good! Also really nice edit, pacing was niceee

[@forrainfilms]

We appreciate it man 😇

[@williammdzibha]

What camera do you use bro

[@dudemarina]

@@williammdzibhait says in the title

[@jordanjcreates]

This is so well crafted. Pacing, shot range, lighting, grade all so sick! Beautifully done!

[@forrainfilms]

Thanks a lot!

[@MintyBricks]

This was great! I love the music choices and how the sound design was done to match the environment. Also the coloring of this looks fantastic. Also love the depth of field in your shots! Great work!

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you for watching! more to come, cheers!

[@IsaacHwa]

was not ready for the horror ending. a sad and scary film at the same time amazing

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you!

[@joekugelblitz4144]

Actually my first thought at the beginning was: I would lock the bike ;o)) ... I like the camera work, maybe the colorgrading ist a little bit aggressive for my taste.

[@scottmarshallphoto]

The first thing I thought while watching this was, 'Bro, that bike can still be stolen at 2am in the morning!" But I forgot about it as I was watching the cool shots and noticing the different angles, only to be vindicated at the end. Nice work!

[@hannahowen7169]

I went to school with Abdulhaq and his acting never gets old!!

[@forrainfilms]

He is the best!

[@ambernishat2406]

It's simply beautiful, no need for a big time span, fascinating dialogue or actions, just how a life of a normal people is. He craves for coffee in 2 am and he went there with his bicycle, it's like a small reward for yourself. When it's a tiring night you went out to get some fresh air and beautiful night view, the lights of Mart welcome you and keep you away from loneliness but a incident happened his bike was not there anymore which was understandable but he didn't worry much about it and let it go as his peace of mind was more important now. Nice cinematography keep it up 😇🥰❤️

[@tungtr681]

This is exactly what happened to me and my friends. We went to a convenient store to buy some snack, bike outside, it only took 30 seconds and the bike is gone, reduced to atoms. Best memory ever!!!

[@khyleikeller9867]

My heart LEAPED for joy when he chose the Starbucks 🤣 great movie, definitely 10/10

[@isaacGmusic]

the fact that I've always imagined shooting a "short" with a liquor store scene in a way similar to this is astonishing ! So many like minded people on this earth, I hope you continue this journey and keep it going!! This was AMAZING!!

[@soft.developer]

I'm afraid this guy has no clue how good he is. U have talent, bro. Keep it up

[@that_off]

This proves that even though a simple story with Great cinematography could be incredibly entertaining. you are talented.

[@Nesss-cp8vk]

this was so successful because of narrative. It is not just the fancy tools and shots, but compelling storytelling

[@Humanitip]

wasn't expecting a story but you delivered, thanks man keep sharing your art with the world we'll be watching

[@jdgvisuals]

A minute and 55 seconds reminded me why I love film and cinematography so much. Beautifully captured and conveyed, great job.

[@Iam_rayhutch]

This was beautifully done! I love the camera work and the color grading choices! I really liked the decision the camera operator made to push in as the subject was exiting the store. It really added some variety to the scene and kept everything feeling cohesive, especially as the next cut was zoomed out to end the film. Amazing storytelling as well! So much was said with absolutely no dialogue! Definitely looking forward to seeing more work from you!

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you! More to come 😇

[@Iam_rayhutch]

Excited to see more! 😎@@forrainfilms

[@CINE9INEPICTURES]

I was gonna hate it on it at first. But man, it's one of the best short films I've seen on KZbin. The music at the end is "Priceless". It's the most taking an L of all time.

[@jansrraww]

So good!!! I love it. Especially the shot where you go from panning to handheld at 0:23 ! Such a simple but impactful short.

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you so much!

[@FilmLover4k]

You mean "still"? Like on a tripod or being help up by something?

[@jansrraww]

@@FilmLover4k I don't understand what you mean...I meant the shot i described. At 0:23

@@forrainfilmsdid you used autofocus in this scene? It keep it nice from him walking up to the camera, and then the pan and you going behind him.

[@forrainfilms]

@ Yeah, I used autofocus

[@josephenmagsalay4852]

This short film is a masterpiece! Everything was perfectly chosen from the choice of music matching the environment, the selection of shot, the angles. A simple yet awesome camera work. The camera angles empowers the theme of the story. The framing emphasizes emotions and there is a balance composition for visual appeal. I love how the lighting adds to the dramatic effect of the film. And the visual style is just perfect, the color grading, and the patterns. The music complements the scenes. And the dialoque is clear and adds relevance. The sound design are fantastic. The simple plot of the story adds emotional impact. It was just amazing how real could this be and like how life throw unexpected situations to us in the most unexpected places. This short film is indeed amazing and well crafted. -Josephen M. Magsalay

[@masterchief05]

As a storyteller you can put your main effort on whether the story or the implementation of the story is outstanding. And this shortfilm is a great example of visualizing your idea. After a few seconds I already got the vibe like id be in this situation. Very inspiring! Keep going! 🔥

[@forrainfilms]

Wow, thank you!

[@dr.s.p.]

As soon as I saw him park his bike, I immediately thought, “Lock your bike son - even if it is 2am!” The whole clip is thought provoking in so many ways. Nice!

[@sightseerproductions]

Right in the baby maker. So sad. That's why I locked my bike up when I was in the city. Even then, it was hit or miss because people are so good breaking those locks and it's really not that hard. I loved this. Good job.

[@loiccardenas]

YT recommend this great gem! Can’t believe you did this with F2.8, that 12800 ISO is fire 🔥

[@forrainfilms]

Great to hear!

[@flamingmushroomstudios2611]

It's dreamy...and emotional... what viewer can watch this and not be engaged with the film's hero, his journey, his life path, as it unfolds from this night.

[@vincyagain]

Oh this was a gem to watch. The plot is simple but the shots and how everything was laid out were all intentional and well done. Very cool short film! Love the colour grading

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you!! 😊

[@TheMorris_Studios]

As a filmmaker or videographer, you watch videos or movies rather differently. You're noticing shot angles, shot types, sounds, transitions, etc. It's really interesting. We see through the eyes of the knowledge we possess

[@qz.vision]

the cinematography is insane in this one, well done!

[@skeennah1927]

Something told me that bike was going missing, even tho the short is called 2am Coffee...............loved it

[@sharkiedoestheshore]

now this is what i call a creative genius, if you can make this look good, imagine something that looks good

[@bijayaninayak1238]

0:26 With earphones, this walk with that bgm gives me chills.

[@SimonM282]

Nicely done. All your experimenting with camera angles and placement is paying off in this one. Loved the combo of lockoff and tracking shots, and the edit between them. Perfect rhythm. Keep going!

[@forrainfilms]

Means a lot, thank you very much!

[@michellesimpsons356]

I’ll never forget when I had my bike stolen. I have not thought about it in years but today I relive it again. Still sad. 35 years later. Great short.

[@BC_MediaEh]

The sound design and the cinematography was amazing 👏 love how simple it was yet so full of detail.

[@omaroff]

That was my very first thought that this bike could be stolen if he parks it like that) Btw brilliant filmmaking!

[@diegosanb3652]

i really like how engaging this film is even tho it's really simple, i think a lot of filmmakers overlook that. great content, excited to see more 👏

[@JenniferVuong]

The anticipation, the surprise element, the relatability. Nailed it.

[@shadsmith8581]

Was I trolled into watching a 1 minute and 55 second Starbucks commercial?

The next installment should be called “2 AM Bike Sale”

[@r10s]

I really enjoyed this one ! great shot selections and not to mention a very relatable story 🙃 nicely done 👏🏽

Man I was wondering if I should start studying filmmaking, this just convinced me to put a foot in it. Thank you.

[@samwasnak53]

For such a simple concept this was executed so well! Really enjoyed it, the shots, the music the ending too

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you very much, We are glad you enjoyed it 😇

[@layanne-y9j]

Que sensacional! Isso foi incrível!!!!!! Me passou uma vibe de guardiões da galáxia

[@SCREEENTIME]

I love this. Warning: unsolicited advice alert: With muted autoplay, people will scroll past the five seconds of black intro. Change nothing, but maybe write in a cold open or something for the next video so people stop and watch your skills. Happened to me, didn't realise until someone else told me. Short films on YT get hurt because of it. Ignore if irrelevant. Keep going. Great work.

[@forrainfilms]

Noted! Thank youu

This could easily be the first 2 minute introduction scene of a big budget movie.

[@BLVCKSEA]

Is this supposed to be a Starbucks commercial? If not, it should be

[@Ben-ig3bf]

I love the aesthetic. Gas stations are always cool at night, especially with superb color grading and a (what looks like) 1/4 promist

[@adamcai1102]

I know exactly this feeling. One night i stayed in the library until 3:30 am finishing my assignment, and after that, i made a decision to go for the sunrise. I rode a bike, across the empty city, and stopped at a lawson for a cup of coffee. After that, I kept on cycling and was able to see a sunrise i would never forget.

[@SandyCandy273]

the way i just jokingly thought to myself at the start that the protagonist should rly lock his bike if he wants to keep it AND THAN THAT WAS THE ENTIRE PLOT hahaha love it, thank you so much for this entertainment

[@ItsMayhem]

thats one expensive coffee

[@saisatvikakintali2209]

While everyone connected with bikes and riders !! I was just connected with coffee !! ... That instant change in music explains everything about coffee❤️... Its an emotion for us !!! Such an amazing short film .... loved it

[@oscarcervarich3505]

This is awesome! Did you score this too? The beat drop at 1:31 sounded incredible- great work!

[@forrainfilms]

Thank you! I wish I could score this, but I got music from Artlist.

[@OfficialClintJames]

This should be shown in classrooms when explaining what a MacGuffin is.

[@night_city_nights]

This was pretty cool. I'm trying to eventually work my way up to making a short film, and this project is such an inspiration. Your shots were simple yet effective. The framing, focus shift, and adherence to the rule of 3rds were effective. You guys took an everyday concept and made it look like a cinematic experience. Well done!

[@falconzgamecircle]

The color grading is so awesome and the angles so cinematic, I luv the sounds of the bike so clean and I really want a low light camera like that. Story telling is so good yet short, I always lock my bike but can relate

[@vibrationofmyfrequency]

So stupid video Looks like its advertised about digital prison

It would be so cool if there was a movie where the guy drinks the coffee and the sky transitions into day

Omg I had the beginning on two times speed (by accident) and I was so confused how the character was biking so fast 😂 Great film btw!

[@9900484]

I love when the colors and lights in a film realistically "pop." Looks just like my gas station down the street.

[@averageday]

As a bike, this feels tragic and really hits home when I was separated from my human 2 years ago.

[@maiyjekns]

Mannn this was crisp!! And lmaaoo as soon as dude put that bike there my first thought was "that's definitely going to get stolen" I guess my guess was right lol crazy
