[@chronicfish]

Caleb, you're an exceptional film maker. Congrats to both you and everyone who participated in making this film. You should all be extremely proud. *Keep them coming!* ❤

[@BadFlashes]

Aw thanks so much. That really touches me :) I appreciate the love

Welcome to the channel Bad Flatulence.

[@jagwire8671]

finally a short film to tear me away from the new Zelda

[@BadFlashes]

Aw nice! Glad I can help for 12min lol

[@KylerSteele]

Patiently waiting for a full length feature from director Caleb. This was amazing man. Made me laugh out loud and those match cuts between black and white were wonderful. Keep making these passion projects!

[@BadFlashes]

Aw dude. Way too nice! Thanks so so so so much 🥰🥰🥰

[@orancarroll5234]

Beautiful. The Double X and Vision3 look great, and used thematically, too! So inspiring

[@BadFlashes]

Aw thanks so much!

[@roumelio]

@@BadFlashes I like the way you used Black and White, and then the shift back to colour... It kinda gives the effect of "Pleasantville" (1998) and then the "Kubrick" inspiration of a spinning fan. Such a simple element, but so hard to get right thematically to make the point... It's the detail orientation, not the budget that makes good film. Such a simple concept also: "The pain of getting analog technology working in the twenty first century" It's pretty much untouched... And all of that for I guess what would lead into something like John Wick.... What if that was the last message from your wife or something? It plays the harp strings of life... I did English literature studies as a minor in my undergraduate because I was bored and wanted to sit around basically talking shit.... But it does teach you a lot about literature analysis and "meaning making" which is also so important in the movie industry also.

[@shaunswett6684]

Love the color BW transitions, and ... best ending ever!

Awesome so so glad :)

[@bernardkealey6449]

Wow so much to love in this… I thought it was going a bit The Sixth Sense (I mean that as a compliment), then the twist had me laughing at nights I’ve lain awake wanting to record my husband’s snoring!! I could have sworn that was Jason selling the My First Sony, but not credited, unlike George Lucas 😉 Masterpiece, thank you for sharing it.

[@BadFlashes]

Haha I should have had him sell it 🤪 Glad you enjoyed

Really entertaining and loved the use of film stock choices as visual cues.

[@BadFlashes]

Oh yay so excited

[@MrJules39]

That. Was. Genius. Thank you for bringing a ridiculously bright ray of sunshine into my day. I'm not saying my day was dark, far from it. But this just boosted it to the max. Brilliant. That payoff/twist, whatever, that's Einstein level thinking.

[@BadFlashes]

Haha I’m so glad it brightened you already awesome day 🥳🥰🚀

[@CristianGeelen]

Amazingly done Caleb!

[@BadFlashes]

Yay 😁 !!!!!!!!

[@chilecayenne]

I enjoyed it.... But I guess I"m a bit slow today....I was with you till the end...and well, not sure what happened at the end....? I did, however, really enjoy the camera work....and the transitions were fun! Also, is there a special setting on your old 16mm camera to get those slow motion shots like at the beginning?

[@BadFlashes]

Aw thanks so much. Maybe someday I’ll do a commentary to help explain the ending a bit but I like people to drive their own meeting from what it is. 😝🥰

[@shaunswett6684]

Looks like Caleb is open to interpretations, so here's my guess. The farting sound is really interference from the power lines. But he smashes the tape and never finds out what the girl actally said.

[@BadFlashes]

Hahaha love that!!!!!!

[@_Sisyphus]

Very clever, well done!

[@BadFlashes]

Aw yhanks

Not gonna lie, I expected to get rickrolled, but this is somehow better. I am always reluctant to watch a short film on youtube, but i was more than pleasantly surprised, I had a great time!

Saw your IG post about how this is getting less traffic, but I hope that won’t distract you from posting more artistic work at least every once in a while. Your gear and film reviews are well made and fun, but imo youtube would be so much cooler if it were made up of more stuff like this over content that feeds the algorithm. Keep going man, you’re great 🙌

I wondered if its possible to develop 16mm film by self and scan.

Kinda??? It’s hard tho for sure.

[@VariTimo]

Did you upload this in 4K and it just hasn’t rendered yet or did you upload in 1080p? You really wanna upload stuff shot on film in 4K even if it was scanned and mastered at 2K because the KZbin compromise will just rip through the grain.

[@BadFlashes]

Yeah I didn’t think about that when doing it. But you’re right…. Maybe force the 1080 quality

[@roumelio]

Hello Caleb, what's it like to spend just about $300 just on film to get 10minutes worth of footage in 4k? Most of us don't because the cost of entry point to even get to where you can record this, and not stuff it up, on film is a larger budget than what the vast majority of us have 🤣 Oh it hurts.... 😌
