    Hey, I am a developer here at 247Sports, and I recently made a suspense / sci-fi short film with a friend of mine called "88:88". It was real low budget, but turned out great (at least I think so). We entered it into YouTube's "Your Film Festival" and got selected as one of the 50 semi-finalists. The 10 with the most votes become finalists and have their short screened at the Venice Film Festival. (Yes, THAT Venice).

    Needless to say we're pretty psyched. We're trying to get as many people to watch it and vote for it as possible. So if you have 14 minutes, please check it out. It you like it, please vote for it. If you don't, I'm totally cool with you voting for it anyways. You can vote once every 24 hours per browser through July 13.

    ( I created an easier to remember link to get to it as well: http://8888film.com/youtube )

    hey.

    if you want a score to this, i have a young producer who does pretty good work, and might be able to do it for the credit.

    let me know.

    I watched it, I liked it, but I am the only idiot here I guess, I did not understand what I watched . was that glowing ball trying to get her?

    I'm always a little hesitant to say outright what happens, because we intentionally wanted to make it so it was something you had to think about a little bit,and that people may come up with slightly different interpretations. That said, it wasn't something we did without having our own very specific interpretation of what was happening.

    The attached link should help give some general background info, though, for those interested.

    Ok, so I interpret it as a reverse abduction, She called her BF over to see them in the crystal that fell into the light......hurry with part 2...I wanna see them biggrin..I got money that they look like a Bama fan.

  • I tried to vote, but got an "Ooops! That's not right!" Sorry, bro.

  • Voted, again. The lack of dialogue really make the camera work and sound editing really stand out, and both are really good.

    Thanks a lot. We definitely thought less dialogue would help add to the tension and mood, as well as just generally make it easier to do.

  • Full penetration would have really set this one apart IMO

    My friend, Joey, is the camera guy. He used a Canon 5DmkII for most of it and a 7D for a few things, I think.

    Roman,

    Great job on the film. My favorite movie genre is sci-fi. Not trying to sound like a dick but the music playing at the end should be changed. It makes me think of Brazil or anything from the 80s.

    Brazil was a good movie and I like it but it almost cheapened the movie at the end. Everything was great until I heard the music at the end. Just my two pennies, change the music at the end and its even better IMO. I still voted for it btw.

    I'm not sure. We can't actually see the number of votes for any of them. Based on number of views, we are currently 4th with a little over 100,000 views. There is one with 257,000, one with 228,000, and one with 147,000. Of course views don't translate directly to votes, and votes are what matter. So it's possible we might have more votes than some of those, but of course it is also possible some with less views than us have more votes. shrug

    I think they intentionally aren't showing votes or rank because they are going to go through and validate votes once voting is over. I'm sure they don't want controversy if they said one of the entries was highly ranked, and it suddenly got knocked out of the top 10 when voting is over and half their votes are thrown out.
