'Bubble' | Award Winning Short Film

[@disposablegloves123]

My interpretation is that there is no new self or old self but rather one current self and a potential self. The current self is him robbing the couple and the potential self is him excelling in the business world. I think the film is called bubble because sometimes we get caught up in a vicious cycle in our own lives or a bubble and forget that there's a whole world out there full of opportunities. The potential self scenes show that the man could have lived a different life, one in which the guy he was robbing could have been a great friend and business partner but he made the wrong choices. The film teaches us that YOU are the commander of your own ship you can be whoever you want to be.

[@jeevikachristensen64]

Thank you

[@skipauto]

Think deeply! Bubble : used to refer to a good or fortunate situation that is isolated from reality or unlikely to last.

[@kdramaaddaoppaunnie6592]

Anyone in 2023 after Katha Ankahee..Adnan Khan aka Viaan Raghuvanshi ❤️🔥🔥

[@Notesdiary02]

Viaan 🔥

[@hygrant4928]

This short film uses the thief situation as an analogy of making a deal/being employed to corporations.

[@Tom.Livanos]

My interpretation: the office presentation came in a lifetime after the knife robbery i.e. reincarnation. It shows that humility is needed before any of us can attain peace.

[@SuperDeut4]

Will someone explain to me how this unexplainable film got a reward?

[@kaymarie4851]

Maybe instead of deeming it unexplainable, you could ask or look for an explanation:)

[@bhawanipaliwal507]

may be because of its' diverse perceptions with every viewer..

[@genzexus4833]

You must live in a bubble....

[@javedakhtar7254]

What i understood is, while doing good (Interview) or Bad (Crime) we are in anxiety on both the situation. At the end if you go with the good thing you will have success and if you go with the bad thing you will be in problem. (Simple understanding)

[@JamieDeSmet]

Nah I think the guy with the knife is the New self, the guy giving the well received presentation is his OLD self, he's a changed man. Something has happened in his life that's done that to him. They started off as general flashbacks, but when he was dying it was him flashbacking his life.

[@Tyler380]

I Coulda, I shoulda, I whoulda ... Its all about choices.. Great little flick with a huge message.. Thanks..Good work..

[@nileshkumartiwari2855]

I think that the maker of this movie has captured the emotions of two person while they take life changing decision. The hesitation before business meeting and before robbing are similar. Similarly the tears signifies the inherent fear in both situation. the smile at the end show peace after they met the end...

[@dare2eatcandy]

Basically, the film depicts the two paths a person take. As individual, you choose your own path however there are consequences to your choices.

[@christhalacker9557]

The guy with the knife represents his old self. The guy giving the well received presentation is his new self. The man that helped him get his new life "Killed" the old self.

[@allycycles96]

There is no conclusion because there is no problem. He here, showed you the two biggest impacts, grief decisions, that monumentously changed their lives forever.

[@OperationCasual]

Is that guy seriously robbing someone with that little knife? Pfff.

[@ssppeellll]

Yeah, where is Crocodile Dundee when you need him? "That's not a knife. THIS is a knife!"

[@RadioactiveSand]

And to people having a picnic... how much money do you carry on a picnic?

[@TrystFilms]

that's not a knife, this is a knife mate

[@koala8777]

THAT'S NOT A KNIFE!!!!!!!!!!

I don't why this one made me cry, but it did

[@alexjones8866]

Love the way this made me feel, I LOVE THE CONTRAST OF SCENES, NEVER seen that before, I LIKE !

[@AyushYadav-xz9xh]

Adnan you have done so well

[@schoolofgratitude2875]

Dont do that.. Dont end that movie like it made sense..That movie had no sense..

[@tammiass]

frankly, i dont get why this film called award winning on the title. will appreciate any explanations, thanks

[@garimapathak6656]

the dichotomy of an unemployed guy is picturised fantastically...great job :)

[@thebuzzbud]

I believe it's concept is of "success" in collision with "accomplishment"... vanity is in question at so many avenues of our lives and one can wonder, "did I make it"?... the applause.... does it really matter?.... the smiles the ups and downs slips and falls on my tears..... and those alike... the pain.... i get back applause and continue.... the concept of the knife.... he only held the knife out and her immediate reaction was to hand him money.... the tear from his eye was that of.... what can this money do for me at this point.... the video implied success ....by his presentation.... it's not enough becuz success really takes losing yourself.... hence the tear and smile when he was shot.... that was "real".... in life there is a lot of competition.... win or lose,,,, who really wins? they seem to be all collegians ...but are they really friends?.... class and status plays a part in this i believe... was this man fired?....did he quit?.... i would hash tag this #FreedomIsDeath

[@NonkelOJ]

What I take out of it is that life is about choices, there are no such things as shortcuts in life.. You see him in the movie, the present "thug" version leaning against the tree as well as the potential him, waiting to do his presentation being nervous and in fear of rejection.. Though he has to do it because he chose to and so all he wants is to get it over with.. At the end the guy giving the presentation is releaved because he is set free of his fear and insecurity as well as the present "thug" version of him. He sees what he could have been and realises there are no such things as shortcuts in life but is releaved that the bubble he lived in pops, even if it came along with his death :) correct me if I'm wrong but I had goosebumbs anyway All feed back is welcome ofc :)

[@SummonthePhoenix]

There is definitely many great qualities to this film in my opinion. The cinemetography is excellent, the music is right on, the pacing is perfect. I would like to know why he's doing what he's doing. Where did some of you find the description? Also, what award did this win? Just curious not questioning why. It deserves something. It's well done.

[@tristanlevy2464]

Too much contrast takes away from the film. You don't want it to look like a commercial. Remember to ZOOM IN when you're shooting. Always ZOOM IN, never make close-ups when recording. It will look like a school project. Camera angle, motion, and lighting is EVERYTHING. Especially if you're holding a low budget camera.

[@sigvebm6927]

Ok this short film was pretty cool! but shomting that enoyed me was that during the picnic sceenes both the camera movement, lightning and the kvalety just drastilcy changed from being this awesome artsy film into in my oppinion mad family picnic video! But all in all it was and awesome short film!

[@TheSleepingEarth]

!Great Acting! Well done

[@kupidkala8262]

you dont get the movie in first time? :) alright be happy he is handsome.:D

[@willierobbins8242]

Finding peace in regret is in the brief log line. It makes sense now. Nice

[@thorinolsen5839]

If I'm not mistaken, they are the same man, but not at separate times. Hear me out: The video is a representation of a man who had great aspirations, but was troubled by a very hard life that pushed him down a path he didn't want. This is why they look so similar, with the key differences in dress and that one is clean shaven. They also both hesitated before they're big moment, and they both shed a tear from their right eye under the stress, as well as both having the same smile in the end.

[@chuckrussell-coons5866]

Great job, Matthew Head, on the original music. And the editor who matched aural and visual so well.

[@jesterfilmstv]

Well shot. I am just wondering when are any of you low budget Independent filmmakers going to attempt to try something different? I have seen this a thousand times. every film festival has the same structured films with different actors and locations. The repetitiveness is uncanny.

[@henrychinaski5938]

What camera would I need to film something and make the quality look this good?

[@ArrivalStudios]

Victor Morales A DSLR is a good camera to start with. That's what this was most likely filmed on. I can personally recommend the Nikon D3200 as it's pretty cheap right now and produces some pretty darn high quality stuff

[@EphemeralProductions]

+Victor Morales A DSLR with video capabilities and the highest size of memory card you can find! Preferably 64 GB. The longer you want to make the film, the more memory you will need on a memory card. If you have a lot of money to burn, you can get a professional digital movie camera, which costs thousands of dollars. LOL

[@PiyushDangreIndia]

Hi ! This looks stunning ! Especially those shots with the prime lens.. I'd like to know did you use ND filter on prime lens for this?

[@ayayronm]

Nice! I think that having no audible dialogue was a great move to tell story. Great job! What editing software and camera (and lenses) did you guys use? Im new to filmmaking and don't really have the money to afford all the technical stuff lol But I got stories that I really want to bring to life.

[@hearditman]

I don't get it?

[@deonteanderson1123]

The movie begins real time with the bubble falling: indicating the true timeline we are following is the robbery. As the bubble falls, so does this criminal. As he passes, he is having a dream like sequence of serenity and prosperity. The people that appear in this "vision" as he falls are all the people involved IN the robbery. (The girlfriend is the secretary, the boyfriend is a member of the board as well as the man who shoots him) We then rewind to him beginning the robbery as a nice Quintin Tarentino esque switch in the traditional chronological order. it's an incredible tale

[@wazwazz7103]

wow,,,there go I but for the grace of god!! ,,brilliant ty for this, we all walk our paths!!

[@finnegam]

[@Lantzsensei]

You had some great shots in this film. I like how you matched the color of the sun to the office camera flairs.

[@tietjen666]

Well done! Any discussion would likely be an abstraction as well: all things are transitory, free will, self-absorption - to mention a few of the thoughts your work brings to mind. Thank you for the courage to avoid the comfortable trap of constant conclusory resolution. Nothing in my life turns out perfectly resolved. It is good to see this reflected in art. (I might add that only in art can resolution ever be perfect!)

[@kiwinorris735]

It's so strange that this film took an award ....it's like a videoclip ...the music dominates the image ...it's like a videoclip ..

[@sanglapbhowmik7561]

In one word...brilliant....just brilliant man....what a superb film...and the best part is where you did end the film..the buble just touching the ground...dont know whether it will burst or not...which one is real and which one is dream...people will decide...owao...just brilliant...you should have sent this film to places before putting on youtube...am sure...this would have brought many of those bubbles in your showcase...best of luck buddy and make more films like this....hats off...

[@akmal7524]

every emotional! very nice! kya bhaat hai yaar!

[@TheMauricesherwood]

not bad. didnt get it till i read the description. I thought the thug was the same guy, or idk wtf

[@skiniminonochie]

I guess my confusion comes from the fact that the thug is the same guy or an identical twi.

[@pbouchaud]

it is ;)))

[@mouzaalnuaimi3480]

Well done, I am a young beggener birector and editor, and I'm wondering what beggeners with small budget should use in shooting, I mean what camera did you use..?

[@dreamweaver320]

very good. very powerful. 10 out of 10.

[@vamsikrishna1934]

nice movie , maybe difficult to understand until i saw below comments, i fell in love with ur movie ,nice job!!

[@doug]

I like the two stories and how it's shot, but I don't feel you really convey well how they are linked. It may be more obvious to you as you already know what it means, but to a first time viewer, I don't.

[@tleat]

Dedication to the craft is obvious. Well done getting this many views on a short like this. Not easy to do.

[@mysticbow8602]

don't get it ??? Anyone care to explain me ???

[@deonteanderson1123]

(The girlfriend is the secretary, the boyfriend is a member of the board as well as the man who shoots him) We then rewind to him beginning the robbery as a nice Quintin Tarentino esque switch in the traditional chronological order. We catch back up to real time as he finally begins to fall again. it's an incredible tale, very well done.

[@devilzatt]

Deonte Anderson So that would mean his life story is analogous to how the bubble falls? So metaphorically he lives his life like a bubble that starts from the very top, lives through the transition period and finally falls and explodes in the end.... Would appreciate an answer.

[@georgejohnson1124]

Think much deeper.............................

[@Lorieellesh]

This brilliant little film is simply exposing the sheer desperation of joblessness in a capitalistic world and what it can drive people to do. Life hangs on a thread. One day you have a job, and the next day the bubble bursts and you don't. The job is survival. With no means of survival, death can tragically seems preferable, as shown in his peaceful smile at the end, when he is released from earthly hardship.

[@farisislam07]

i just a businessman really hope their presentation will be alright, and a desperate thug actually hope that they die

Hi Hashmic, Great content! Would you mind us placing your content on our 24/7 online TV Station?

[@Ryan-xj1zg]

Loved it. Trying to find the brevity that you have in your film in mine. Love the usage of image over dialogue or even sound fx. Good job, Artists!

[@jmarrero1479]

Good stuff! It took me until the end to get it, but the payoff was well worth it

[@909music]

Great work! Nice analogy of contrasting situations.

[@prevotjeremie]

Great music also

[@rearno16]

In my opinion the candidate and the robber are the same people. Either in alternate universes or they were both standing by the tree deciding at one point. If that makes sense. This was great but I would've liked more speaking in it. I understand the use of silence and music as impact however.

[@fishyonion]

There wasn't really a pronounced/immediately understood story/message and instead relied on the prolonged suspense to keep the audiences' attention which began to wear. Some of the shots could have greatly benefited from stabilisation/smoother panning like the scenes in the office, which would have nicely correlated with the sharper/more commercial appearance of business. Still I watched till the end and was better than I could have done.

[@lizanye]

OHHHHHH I get it! Because there's a bubble at the beginning and then it's at the end too oOhhh

[@pajs1000]

Great piece of work. Subscribed.

That was great!

It's good, but the low quality video, lack of a tripod and the fast cuts was distracting.

Great story & film!

[@hanifhearts]

Did I read ' Award Winning' in the title?

[@hanifhearts]

Ohh no I didn't! But I wouldn't claim that which wouldn't go down my own throat :) Not looking to get into a cheap debate here. Your channel, your content. But please understand, like most people, I too have a problem when I click to watch a particular content and realise a waste of time, caused by the false claim. And that is the sole reason for my comment. I hope you understand and the ego doesn't get in the way. I also hope you produce/ direct some award winning projects in future. Wish you all the best!

***** would u rather explain plz.... I could get it.... I thought a lot

[@WeSSippy]

MissNoor26 I would love to tell you, but alas , it's hard to explain, plus, my words can't do it justice. I'm sorry, just think about it.

[@lizabethhaber8753]

It took me a while to figure that out. I wondered why they looked similar. :) But I don't get it either. Why is it called Bubble anyway?

[@shyamsunder7819]

Didn't understood the final part ..

[@eSuaz]

Amazing and thought-provoking.

[@Pferdekekse11]

What was thought provoking in this?

[@eSuaz]

Hakuna matata The fact that you have the power to steer the course of your own life. In an alternate universe, the young man excelled in the business world and became partners with the two other men. In another, he was killed trying to rob them. It's thought-provoking because "sometimes us, Humans, get caught up in a vicious cycle in our own lives or a 'Bubble' and forget that there's a whole world out there full of opportunities." It all depends on the choices we make.

[@jitendradas6172]

Ok

[@maxkellyfilm]

Super cool man

[@StevenBTV]

I have to critique the acting. Particularly during the scene where he is holding them up in the field. It was too, faked I guess. the camera work and scene progression was too open. This scene needed more emotion and aggression as if a true robbery were taking place. However other than that portion, the cinematography was VERY well done. And the progression of the plot moved nicely it. The bubble at the end was also a beautiful finishing touch. Well done :)

[@caseykube5963]

great ending. well done

[@JAGFilmsChannel]

Well done!

[@arminkful]

to jb, these stories are similar, the "different" life is all the same, make a robbery or make not, both made it not, has nothing to do with fucking advancement opportunities dreams

[@ELLOproductions]

SPOILER alert (well sort of): the protagonist should have died in the other one, and thus been offered a job in the opposite life. A sort of parallel universe glitch, if you will.
