Geri's Game: shot for shot (social distancing) remake

Watch the original 1997 Oscar winning short film by Pixar here:
• Geri's Game
In these times of social distancing / COVID-19 / coronavirus, filmmaking has to be quite different since it's traditionally a collaborative medium, so I took it upon myself to make a project I could shoot solo: Geri's Game. This is a parody, shot for shot real life remake: no copyright is claimed here.
While this is a deviation from what I normally make on this channel, video essays, I hope subscribers will still enjoy it, and if you like this, please be sure to subscribe so I can make more video essays and other types of projects.

I love the attention to detail for every frame. This video clearly came from a place of love for the original, and I love how you changed the winning prize. Even in these difficult times, you strive to bring smiles to people's faces.
I sincerely hope your channel explodes in popularity, so more people can see this recreation of a Pixar classic.

What a great comment to receive, thank you so much! Definitely hope to bring some levity into the world in times like these. As far as channel exploding, all I can say is every subscriber helps :D

Since there's no false teeth, the surgical mask was a nice touch and very fitting. Bravo!

[@HintofFilm]

It's very hard to laugh the way Geri does if you actually have teeth, so I had to come up with an alternative :) thanks for watching!

[@KameariKillScreen]

Surprisingly well shot and performed

[@tomassam-miller217]

Holy crap dude!!!! I just saw this for the first time and I am blown away. Fantastic work.

[@HintofFilm]

Thanks dude!! Glad you enjoyed it, from one social distancing filmmaker to another :)

[@KSCGGuy14]

This was very fun. The mask coming at the end was clever.

[@shortoftheweek]

Ha! A very clever exercise and, of course, we love Geri's Game! Thanks for submitting to #ShelterShorts

[@HintofFilm]

Thank you for watching!! I've enjoyed embracing the limitations of filmmaking while sheltered at home, looking forward to seeing more #ShelterShorts unfold online

[@kalanialicia3444]

Loved it Nelson! As an only child, you reminded me of how creative you can when you only have yourself as entertainment! You create your own stage with huge imagination! This was great and I loved the end showing the “work” it took to make this!! Keep it up!!

[@nintendude794]

My very same childhood chess set!

[@VirtueInsightWebPage]

A very clever video idea for this time of isolation & social distancing!

[@HintofFilm]

Thank you! I also just saw your comment on my Captain Fantastic video… it's true I publish much slower than many UA-camrs, but yup still making videos, glad you enjoyed this latest one!

[@KBAFourthtime]

It took the prize for me to understand why you included "Social distancing" in the title. Very good acting.

[@HintofFilm]

I'm glad you stayed until the end to see why! And thank you :D

[@MrDarkPage]

That was very good. Well done.

[@NoahClevinger]

Wow, this is incredible! Amazing job.

[@27MH]

Hi Nelson, first of all I hope your doing well and staying safe. I have been working since this all has started. So I haven’t been able to enjoy this thing of ours we call art as much as I normally do.
I just wanted to say, that I really enjoyed this first as a great showing of your filmmaking prowess. As well as, a great form of escapism for myself right now.
Finally, the king piece still shaking on the reaction shot of Geri’s collapse to the ground. Is the kind of detail I live for!!! Also the editing, everyone always forgets to mention the editing.
Great job brother, keep on going!

[@HintofFilm]

Mahamed, your comments *always* make my day, thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, especially since it's a departure from more traditional video essays. And I am SO glad you picked up on the king still shaking, you're one of the few people who even noticed that effect shot :) this was a lot of fun to make for all the details. Glad I could share something enjoyable for you in these unusual times. Stay healthy and safe, glad you are working but hopefully not in harm's way, keep well, Nelson

[@filipnovak2544]

Love this!

[@IrvingIV]

The asymmetric hairdo adds a lot.

[@wendybermingham8817]

Nice!!! Made me smile...many times. Good to see you too!

[@HintofFilm]

Thank you for watching, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@lenardmayfield5351]

Stay safe out there

[@doorenthusiast1397]

But how did you recreate the scene where Geri and the other Geri's hand appear in the same scene, while practicing social isolation?

[@HintofFilm]

That's my hand… movie magic :D

[@isaacps3]

😂😂😂 thats nice

[@wherethewatermeetstheshade]

Lol gold

[@justapotato7863]

I like your laugh, was joker inspired by you or were you inspired by joker?
