"Relationship Status: Online" (Short Film)

Where do we draw the line between personal and public. Which relationship has more life in it - the one in person, or the one online?
Sure, its a wonderful thing being able to post up the beauty and joy of a relationship. But one too many times I’ve seen couples who don’t look as nearly loving as their posts online portray them to be.
Always build the relationship in front of you people. Then everything else will follow.
---
“The Unplugged Project” explores 4 different, unique stories for each episode but having a synonymous theme of the need to use technology wisely and be unplugged every once in a while.
“The Unplugged Project” is an original collaboration between TheMingThing and Digi. 100% created and produced by TheMingThing - it is a new take on the web series format with our friends at Digi supporting the good message it conveys. They believe that instead of being antisocial with technology, nobody should be alone when we can be together.
A special shout out to Digi to be the first ever team to be a part of something we're doing and supporting it so tremendously!

[@WanSyazlina]

I think close relationships are just too precious to be shared with through social media. They're meant to be kept as memories in our hearts instead of in the internet.

[@justinkong3012]

+Syazlina Aasim agreed !!! ^_^

[@t2rnus]

+Syazlina Aasim You said it!

[@itsngschannel]

+Syazlina Aasim agreee with you....these day, people proudly posted their relationship with their bf/gf. I am not against it...but, some of them are too often and almost everyday posting it...It think, just like you said, it's better to be kept between the couple than share it as public consume...

[@WanSyazlina]

+itsngschannel yup! definitely.

[@amirhamzah9332]

Good point there

[@Amanda-bg2qv]

Sometimes the beauty of a relationship is having little secrets that only the both of you know. You don't have to prove or show off to others how happy you are. It can be felt and seen by others. They'll know if you're happy. And if they don't, so what? Your heart knows it. Your loved ones can feel it. That's all that matters.

[@halobeloved]

I agree with this 100%

[@ILYxtwilight]

nice :)

[@shifanaasgari6079]

exactly right

3 things should be PRIVATE 1. Relationship 2. Income 3. Next move

[@muhammadridhuan1760]

what do you mean by next move?

[@eejeun867]

Chess?

[@parzival6625]

income only if u want

[@ladyfromtomorrow3973]

@@muhammadridhuan1760 What are you planning for the future. It could be as small as your next strategy in a game,or as big as what you are planning to do with your life in the next 5 years.

[@SweetestSadie]

I love how it didn't have too much dialog but let the acting and background music tell the story.

[@fancyasreads]

This video has a really strong message. I see couples everywhere on social media and they are always so sweet. People, I envy them and people comment that they are "relationship goals" but this film highlights a kind of negative side to that and it is eye opening.

[@rachelngatia5783]

This is sad three things to keep private is your love life/personal life,next move and your success or goals most people in this world are negative few are positive post a few pictures of you want to but not every now and then most won't really care,most will ACT happy for you but when its all over theyl start saying things they never said I keep mine private even if there is a guy that likes me I first wait to know if he does and only tell like 2pple that I trust and that don't know each other keep you love lives a little secretive social media is eating up marriages,relationships

[@chiaozzzz]

Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is hard.

[@serapia1976]

;____; so hard.

[@jeffreyphandani5160]

Staying in love is quite easy too, I mean thats when we cry for it so bad when it goes bad, maintain a good trustful relationship now that the hardest part, how we keep that love still in a good vibe & understanding each other without feeling someone need to loose

[@lko4349]

That's true

[@itoshirunin]

and moving on is even harder.

[@fayea78]

I think their problem is that they were too concerned about their mobile phones & not with one another. The girl was too concerned with how her online friends would see her.

[@dmingthing]

How much is too much when it comes to publicising your life or even more private, your love life... on social media? Tell us about your thoughts and experiences or any stories that you know of in the comments! :)

[@sumithaevangeline5775]

what is the project about?

[@tiatiara7019]

that's what happen to nowadays peoples.. everything want to update.. from whatever they do till whatever that they feel.. and when something bad happen, the person who read the status immediately jump to the conclusion without knowing the truth..

[@hanishifaa5315]

+TheMingThing For certain memorable events in our life maybe it would be nice to post things out however if you keep posting every single things out i mean the tiny things that you do, that would be suck. and in relationship as for me, couple can easily be broken thus beware when you post things out however for people in marriage it would be diff but still privacy is a must anyway nice video love it

[@tiatiara7019]

+Hani shifaa especially when that person still in schooling and already in a relationship,and for the fact that they going to have a lots of breakup happen.. even when that person working,they haven't confirm when they getting married.. even when they married,they wouldn't know how long they would last.. the better way is we don't really need facebook or twitter or instagram in our life..

[@hanishifaa5315]

+Ratna Sari Dewi We need it for many other reasons but apparently updating all the tiny messy stuff about your relationship is no the one

[@30notready]

Once I was in this restaurant and there were two couples sitting next to us. Four of them were all over their phones and for probably half an hour, there was absolutely no talking. It was sad.

[@CarlUsana-o3l]

Ahah then they were not couples

[@1129buttons]

I saw a family, husband and wife and two young kids at a restaurant. Mom and dad on phones, kids on ipad games or something. No one spoke the entire time. No one looked at each other. So sad.

[@damnmuggle]

Iiar

[@miamoore2479]

the way that they didn't break up in the end was a beautiful twist that made me love it so much more. this was perfection

[@nightwicxw5269]

I'm just impressed about the photo camera quality

[@EmilyZying]

they are really talented!!!

[@rezaaggi]

+Clement Lee they didn't post a lot. and the videos are often too long. maybe some people are just too lazy to know TMT more. whatsoever, i like TMT more than any other malaysian youtubers.

[@chadhong2009]

+Emily Ziying we love your work in the short film too! =)

[@trucebruce2451]

No sound from the actual scenes = bad film for the current era.

[@rezaaggiprasetyo4012]

@I am me • 25y ago Hello, you replied me from 7 years ago. Yes, agree with that. I just wished that TMT followed this youtube algorithm a bit to be more popular. But I can't say la maybe after they did that, TMT is not TMT we know anymore.

[@user-xx3lc6zq1m]

I find people who share a bit too much of their relationship online to be pretty annoying lol..

[@user-xx3lc6zq1m]

Yeah, too many people do it to make others jealous but lmao it creates more of an annoyance than jealousy.Dr0Siko

[@pricelessppp]

Agreed with you sis.

[@pricelessppp]

I couldn't agree more epically those Freaking stupid nicknames single people get in trouble if we say theme bae this bla bla relationship braggers can go to hell & they are fake losers.

[@DawnsWorld]

Agreed

[@pricelessppp]

I agree with you its why I have very few friends Its hard being Autistic.

[@dontlikethatbro]

This is why I never post up any of my relationship stuff online. ....also mostly because I dont have a girlfriend. #cryincorner

[@Hey.Divyangna]

don't you worry ;p

[@glory2010]

Same goes with me. Haha.

[@chingsok]

+Ernest Ng Bro Hi5 bro!!!! you are not alone :)

[@mayeee2036]

Haha😂😂

[@bentan5890]

hahahahaha!

[@lisak802]

That's why it is best to keep your relationship as "offline" as possible. Just keep it to yourselves. Maybe update your status if you feel like it, post a picture or two, but .. Just live in it. Besides, some people don't feel like getting your relationship getting shoved down their throats either.

[@Ericphatter]

I really think you guys deserve to be the top Malaysian KZbinrs. I understand the community sticks together but the stuff other KZbinrs are pushing out are just not up to par with the stuff you guys make. Keep it going guys! Great Job

[@sarangbong4420]

Exactly. I agree with you on that :-)

[@Maxinedesiree]

+Eric Lee Amen. Hence, TMT is the best.

[@phoebeeeeeful]

Totally agree! TMT is always challenging and pushing themselves further in terms of video content. So proud of how this channel grew!

[@Ericphatter]

It just feels like there is so much more thought process behind the videos they make. Whereas other KZbinrs push out videos just for the sake of doing so.

[@happily8956]

I need someone. I never get.

[@stanwong991]

The moral of the story is never share too much about your personal life. Some things are meant to be kept to ourselves. Privacy is a serious matter.

[@jassypanda]

I feel like the girl only cared about her social media so she got a boyfriend to make it interesting and then she keeps updating her realationship and it annoys me that she keeps going on to update her status

[@waitin2bfound]

This is a breath of fresh air for me. I see it too often. It makes me sad because others (including me) tend to compare relationships to the seemingly perfect, picturesque ones online. So, I have avoided looking at those posts because they get old and no one knows what's really happening on that end. Instead, I treasure the moments as they come. It is so much more rewarding than sharing it online.

[@shawnleebeatbox]

*puts down the phone* wait. *pick it back again* REALITY!!! Haha. Kidding. Great Job guys!

[@sophcassandra]

I wish I had friends that immediately text back. My friends take like 3 days 😂

[@jeon9086]

So truee

[@fabianvanderelst9643]

Keep them, those are some friends who will probably care a lot about you in real life, and less about your social media you. They will be really there when you need them:)

[@imshinwen]

Your stories tell what's happening with the relationship happening nowadays. Very nice work Ming =) All glory to God.

[@chenjunfui2394]

Hi :P

[@yorzaaa]

I do get jealous with couples that post online about their relationship. Me and my boyf dont really post stuff online because we are too lazy and not photogenic. I thought its cute to see all those couples picture. Seeing this short film made me realize. Lol u guys are right. Should keep it separated private life and social life. The social media is controlling everything. Nevertheless, i really like your guys' videos

[@jianhao]

On point.

[@roen9085]

Yep.

[@dmingthing]

+JianHao Tan thanks brah :) love right always

[@ANNA-cz7nn]

You videos are on asian point

[@kaungsettmoemyint6533]

wow thats one of the most meaningful videos ive ever watched. Couples these days go around sharing their lives on social media blatantly without taking a moment to pause and reflect the types of consequnces it may bring. I really respect you and your opinion after watching this. great job

[@LastDayProd]

its so gooood!

[@Alberthdx]

buat ginian juga lah

[@TheDuckPox]

Indonesian version please?

[@abhijeetsahu6862]

Love is such an amazing thing that gets diluted when it is morphed to bytes and frames. It is obvious there are so many people who want to make each and every moment special, but in real life the beauty of a relationship grows only when one can accept the mundane life happily. Construing artificial happy moments just to show the world, simply ruins everything. Love is an inner feeling that can be enjoyed without social media...

[@eteliska]

This video is A M A Z I N G! I almost cried... This video says so much abou nowadays. We can't se beautiful things without posting pictures of it. We should live more for us and not for social media. Thank you for this message.✨You two are a great couple.💕

[@EveEve90]

OMG. Your videos are seriously reflecting what really happens in the real world. Sometimes what you see online might not be the entire picture of someone's life/relationship. We don't see the ugly side but only the good times because people will only post their good times. Although me and my boyfriend don't post much on our social media, we both always cherish the times we spend with each other and keep it in ourselves rather than showing off on social media.

[@wonder052]

Stupid technology.... Sometimes I wish I was born in the 80s or 90s or something... And still here I am, on a tablet, on KZbin, instead of doing something real

[@sparklylexi2159]

CrayCray Weirdo woah, that's deep for a KZbin comments section.

[@yuu_daichi]

CrayCray Weirdo finally someone said the reality. Most comments were like, blaming the technology, internet, their generation, etc. but they're here on KZbin, which is also a part of the social media. :v

[@1129buttons]

I was born in the 80's. Cell phone less until mid 20's...awesome time. Social media not until my 30's. I can't imagine growing up with this much sharing everything about yourself as kids do now.

[@juanarianti5251]

Stephanie Johnson ,i agree with you,...

[@thebangisbig]

CrayCray Weirdo It's not the technology, it's not the social media, it's ourselves.

[@stemarliastem6632]

This is probably the best video ever about how relationship should be. Not all stuffs should be posted online. Not all things should be told to the worldwide world. Yes. A part of ourselves wanna show off the love of our life but its better to keep it to ourselves. Just as in actions not by attention. Keep it up ugaiz ! LOVE THIS SHORT FILM TO THE MAX !

[@justl00kingaround]

You just have to keep some things to yourself. What's the point of having a relationship when all you think about, is what will others think about you. Are you in a relationship to impress others or because you love the person next to you ? Impress your loved one and be happy.

[@ADionisio]

Beautifully told!! Sad how that's the reality to most relationships now, how technology has an impact to either connect or disconnect relationships. Its always best to unplug when you're with your partner, it should be face to face and not through a screen! How ever if you're in a long distance relationship that's a completely different story - communication is key.

[@raiderfrankdatank]

Never had those problems in the 80's 90's

[@ManicxCupCake]

I think being able to document your time in photos and statuses is really amazing. I don't think there is anything wrong with as long as you aren't spending too much time on screen.

[@mingyism]

In case anyone was wondering, my scene was cut out because it involved flying and fireworks.

[@usdream]

I LOVE IT!!! Anyway, we tend to post so much abt our private life online that we forget the real thing to do to maintain the r'ship is to communicate and keep certain intimate time to ourselves…GREAT SHORT FILM!!!

[@wilsonmoy90]

Thanks for being the only KZbin channel in Malaysia that produces valuable, relevant and meaningful videos, really! :) This truly speaks so much about the relationship struggles of our current generation. We're all embedded in a culture filled with #relationshipgoals, #squadgoals, etc and sadly missing the real relationship around us. This video is definitely a good reminder for all of us :)

[@isabelaelenachitan3948]

Yes! True! A relationship is something personal, intimate. It's not something you'd like to fill pages of social media. I understand and I agree with this subject. 💜

[@dindasusantiortega4823]

[@arleneleow8540]

People ruin their own lives. Social media helps me with mine since my relationship with my bf is long distance.

[@michaelt334]

+Siowish u got that right.

[@meo4849]

You got it wrong. People create social media, they use it and rely on it. Take responsibility for what they did, it's not the media's fault.

[@michaelt334]

+Jess Mèo hi I hope u know what I mean. People use for example FB just maybe can find a girlfriend or boyfriend. And they are not telling who they are on their status. Maybe some will work out and maybe some don't. And don't tell me I'm wrong cause several people got or experience it. Not all whats online is truth. Some people they will victimized u.

[@shraddharana4976]

its lucky to have someone who can explain u things like this n loves u n understands u..

[@ReassuringSmile]

Any girl who pulls out her phone on a first date (and it's not an emergency) with me is an automatic "next" for me. Shows that you lack manners, education, and regard for the other person.

[@KanyeEastAU]

Watch this guy for the first time and his particular video's script and delivery is amazing! It's just another inspiration as a 1st year film student to learn from.

[@theuserguidefilms]

Awesome stuff! haha can see the haze in one of the shots!

[@dmingthing]

+The Userguide Films hahah when life gives you haze - pretend its not :P best fog machine in the world! lol

[@ATrueLoveOfficial]

He's right. Some things are better kept in private. It's not important that you need to brag your relationship on social media. What matter is that you two are on the same page. That you know your real score and that you are happy.

[@shristikumar610]

Beautiful video!! Such a realistic approach. This is what happens when you open up too much about your life online.

[@CityGirls88]

really really love this short. its all so real and this happens to people in this generation and sometimes you don't even know if two people are together for themselves or for the sake of the internet

[@pil99]

this is really meaningful we dont really need to show people everything some things are just best kept to ourselves like relationships you don't need other people's opinion to be happy but its not wrong to brag about it too but just don't go overboard especially to couples these days(keep in mind)

[@lionellerong8613]

Nice one. Sometimes, relationship need to be kept to each other. Sometimes when you keep on updating your status, others could get annoyed and some will get jealous...

[@xordinaryx]

I love this film. It shows us how to make a proper use of technology. The key seems to be honest communication as this couple shows us.

[@MrNemay]

The music is louder than the dialog, I couldn't understand what he was saying at 5:23 .. in general the film is great and the message is so modern and direct... thank you

[@nippurin001]

It's directed like that,I believe. You were supposed to get the idea that they were already breaking apart and prone to arguing, not focusing on the content of their conversations

[@MrNemay]

+nippurin001 Yeah I got that, but the dialog is made to be heard, and I'm just pointing to the slight difficulty in the film, but generally it was perfectly shot and well acted.. I'm not a troll really x)

[@nippurin001]

+Ne May I actually thought they were speaking jibberish and only to shout things like "SHIT!!" "ENOUGH!!" just to let us get an idea about their conversation, haha

[@MrNemay]

nippurin001 haha, well I thought he was saying "2 men *** SHIT !!", then I listened more carefully.. it was "2 minutes and u put this shit online ".. lol it's ironic that I was trying hard to make sense of their argument, while I used to not to even understand my own words when I argue with my ex !! the loudest is the winner !! yeah she always win :'(

No your relationship should be yours, people will always see how happy you are and see the things you do but things together are special and need to be kept together.

[@kittycat35625]

Always thought it's better to keep relationships offline.. The relationship should just be between the couple and not the couple and their entire friends list. It's sad to think some people actually date purely for social media attention.

[@PichELFishy]

can't put myself into words after watching this video. it's really accurate and should be sth that couples or friends can relate and stop posting much on social media. sometimes, it's good to enjoy seeing the comments and all but again, you have an actual life so don't live online too much.

[@inkandsoap4203]

They paint a picture of a smooth relationship on the Internet, but they're being torn apart. It's getting way too real.

[@zillaquazar]

so far I am 5 mins in and all I can say is she is getting annoyed at him for nothing, he just doesn't want to take pictures all the time, I will comment again further in, so far really enjoying this.

[@LexiDarcel]

Although I create VLOGS, I've chosen to not show my romantic life. I feel like those that show the most, crash the hardest. For those I want to know about my love life, I will personally tell them.

[@tori7362]

Wow, this hit me right in the heart. Just 4 months ago my boyfriend and I had broken up. Like the relationship in the video, we were living it. Watching this short film was like looking at a mirror as to how our relationship was like. I, too, was guilty of always wanting the right picture and posting a lot of stuff that many people commented much the same in the film. Months passed and we have now been talking again. Disregarding this public comment, we ,too, are focusing on just being together rather than showcasing our lives to everyone like before. #relateable 😊 I'd also like to say how wonderfully produced this film is. Keep up the amazing work! 💙

9:45 the realistic response from your woman would be: "What, are you embarrassed of me?!" Then she'd proceed to shut the door on you again and write more passive aggressive shit on social media.

Hey! I loved this short film alot and I hope we could see more of it! Just sharing some personal stuff that I thought it'd be nice to let people know: My boyfriend and I once got minor fight over issues like these. I tend to go on social media so much that he felt neglected. One day I told him we should stop living life online, and he was really glad bout it. We can just be happy everyday without letting the whole world know! After all, all it matters is people that truly live in your life can see how happy you are. Cheers! x

As I have posted before, memories are better stored through your heart and mind, not on photos. They are much more cherishing.

[@marcuskoh2172]

mr Ming I am very happy that your team is doing a social awareness about this and it is very true, sometimes we have to just keep it to ourselves and that will be the biggest memories

Well its so amazing that we have made smart phones smarter and we haven't realised how addicted to them we have become and we really are becoming too dependant on them that we've forgotten what is important! Great video btw! amazing work!

what a horrible way to break up 6:57

[@RituRajrules]

Poignant! Good to see that you guys have portrayed "today's" life in such an apt manner. Kudos!!

[@Sanjay-lw6sy]

I believe something's are supposed to be personal and shouldn't be posted online, those who post selfies and photos of themselves too much are just craving for attention, don't take it the wrong maybe I am wrong. There are all ways two points of views about a these things

[@tutuikilus]

This happened exactly to my rship. We decided to keep our rship away from social media. It's been a year now and we are stronger than ever and getting hitched soon. I'm glad that you made this video!! Thank you TMT!

[@repivonex]

The film should ends at 3:40 mark for greater impact and being more suggestive. But I agree if the aim was to appeal to more audience this 11:49 duration was good. because not everyone knows literature appreciation. Just my 2 cents, I'm a writer too.

Word.

Thank you so much for this video. One of the best youtube video ever, not just from your team but the entire youtube universe. Emily did really well. This is a good reminder for me.

Such an amazing video: portrayed the misinterpretation of the relationship on social media. Everyone should watch it. Everything you see online is not always the truth n also there should be some privacy in a relationship. NOT EXPOSING EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE!

[@dandion1879]

What has phones done to us..

[@Rot911]

phones havent done a thing.. its us who accepted easily to get distracted away of priorities by simplest stuff, n phones were one of those stuff.

[@privasim5423]

This girl focuses more on what people thinks of her.

[@khoolgal92]

Now this, this is THEMINGTHING! Love it, love how real this is. The reality of what actually goes on behind those lovey dovey pictures. Always proud of local talent that produce good quality like this. I'm no movie filmmaker or whatever, but I do appreciate art, hard work and originality. And I appreciate this. :) Keep it up and God bless!
