SCOOTY - a mind blowing short by Peter France

[@mangoturtle4257]

That was weirdly gripping. I especially like how the eyes on Scooty were done. Also the fact that he just kept throwing the food on the ground rather than eating it. Superb work.

[@tlamiczka]

It reminded me of kids pretending to eat fake plastic fruit while playing. But here, it was brilliantly inverted (plastic kid pretending to eat real food). :-))

[@Jayant5k]

The eyes actually gave it a human look which not a lot of big companies dan do

You know, I think the thing I'm most impressed by, is not actually the visuals, but something that wasn't touched on in the video on Corridor Crew at all, the music score! It's phenominal for a piece like this. I can only assume it was done using digital VST's, but it sounds as if it could've been a live recorded orchestra! And the quality of the music itself, Mr Squires is a very talented composer!

14:07 - 14:10 is genuinely one of the prettiest shots I've seen outside of a Wes Anderson movie. Dressing him in all red was such a good move, and the score cutting out as it hits the slow-mo really drives the action in this whole scene. You get that frantic build as he's forming a plan, then it's do-or-die time and the music holds just as the audience holds their breath, in anticipation of the success or failure of the jump.

I’ve known many people who get so caught up on little pointless festivals that they don’t work on making new material, they just cling to it and never go anywhere. That’s 90% of people from my experience over the last 15 years, it can get attention from people, and on a smaller channel that might be helpful. But Corridor is one of the biggest channels so his platform and cast net is already massive. I’m super proud of his accomplishments over the years that just keep escalating and escalating with his talent

[@abchernin]

Festivals tend to prefer or mandate premiering rights. Since this has already been posted here, the decision's already been made by Peter to not festival-chase. Not to imply there are no venues/events who'd put this in their program now, just to indicate that Peter must have already conciously chosen Corridor YT as the primary platform for this shortener the festival circuit.
