Howdy! If you guys are interested in learning more about how this short was made, I was recently a guest on a podcast where we dive into all the behind the scenes info. Check it out! ua-cam.com/video/vknWCBcZOKA/v-deo.htmlsi=1A_PXkqr-n5IYn1W
coolest marlboro commercial ever

Was just bouta say that
cigarette advertising is not cool

this is the kind of stories that short films were meant for
Bro can you recommend more shortfilms like this one.

The cinematography is great. The SKIN TONES are rich and textured. But your sound design is the secret sauce here. Keeping those alley voice just loud enough to hear, but behind all the diegetic sound from the laundry room.... incredible work.
sound design is great
sound design is great but i kinda struggled with understanding the dialogues, so im not sure if it was the best approach
@@samuelsanabria4969 🙄
indeed
Can't understand the dialogue but sound design was great 😂basic coloring and "the skin tones are rich and textured " 😂😂bro wtf are you smoking if this is that impressive to you
I love how this film isn’t trying to do too much. It documents a little coincidence and leaves us wanting more. Simple but effective characterization by showing and not telling. Seriously good stuff.
The perfect scenic vibe. Perfect shots, angles, lighting, and sound. The beauty of the 16mm. Love the novice criminal who meets a professional one, only to be outmaneuvered. So much artistry in this film!
They both got ripped. The smokes cost almost as much as that old yard sale lighter. Lol!
@@RidingwithStymie rather have a lighter thank the smokes bud. more useful and theyre on the run and need to keep a low profile
This felt like some early Tarantino! So tight, the tension, the shot choices. Perfectly understanding these two characters with zero dialogue. Amazing work.
Guy lowkey looks like Mr Orange as well
i think Tarantino popped into your head because of 1:38

Moment with "100 рублей" killed me... Poetic cinema!
Ряльно xD
Я тоже охерел от неожиданности :)
but why the rubles😂
+++ ребят hi there
@@RedlyK maybe, not sure, but in russian there is a proverb that sounds like: "Don't have 100 rubles, have 100 friends.".

BRO, MADE A FRIGGIN MASTERPIECE AND THOUGHT WE WOULDN'T NOTICE
Please stop with the BRO phrases, they are so May 2024.

stuff that makes me go "hell yea"
WHATTTTTTT No dialogue, subtle character, THIS WAS AWESOME !!
This is the kind of storytelling Steven Soderbergh would use as an intro to a crime movie. Good stuff...
The intro reminds me of when Mr. Pink is being chased by police in Reservoir Dogs. You guys did a great job.
One of my favorite movies. That scene was definitely a big inspiration.
1:44 Either that man stole some watches or he's VERY concerned about the time.
Не имей 100 руб, а имей сто друзей
Круто. Удивился когда достал рубли.
тоже удивился
Not even lying, this is probably one of the best short films on UA-cam. A lot of short films on UA-cam feel like clones of one of other like all the horror short films here on UA-cam. But your film, it just feels fresh you know. Great film keep it up!
I love how you wrote it to suit the medium. No dialogue, no crystal sync needed, all sound design, and incredibly executed. That's before getting to the STUNNING lighting and shot choices. Well-done you!
DON'T TELL JUST SHOW, NOW THAT'S CINEMA, amazing work guys
Саня, сотку то за что? :(
This is amazing, the cinematography, the warmth of the colour tones, the crisp sound design and music, all of it fantastic. The story as well, the two pickpockets meeting together in the same hiding spot, masterful, so funny.
I'm still trying to comprehend the absurd quality of sound design of this short. Congratulations.
Works with the sound off. If you're a real director -- and by this, you sure seem to be -- you know that's a big deal. Congrats. One director to another.
Also -- this is a pretty low-key smart idea for a short that I haven't seen before. I feel like Preston Sturges would've dug the premise.
I enjoyed this with the sound off :)
Really good, do you desire actors from Africa?
lost for words. the 16MM FILM, the beautiful sr3, the composition, the acting, the perfect plot and film length for a short film. well done, hope you all get recognized for the hundreds of hours put into the craft
The visuals, typography, colours, editing are really really great, love it. Doing the reveal with no dialogue and just through visuals and the police intercoms is genius. But the sound design is what sells the whole thing. It's perfect. Big kudos.
Dude, one of the best short films I've seen. This nailed EVERYTHING (the visuals, audio, music, story), and its even all packed into less than four minutes. Excited to see more bro
What a great look! Great directing! Bravo!
Please, man, more films like this, more 16mm film! It's so tasty, every frame is beautiful, love it so much. Thank you!
This is an actual masterpiece, bro, can't believe how much was said without a single word!!
This is simply a damn masterpiece, the story, the sound and the color of the movie is spectacular
LOVED the sound design. Just loud enough to hear but not distracting from the visuals
do you think they explored each other's bodies?
the only talking was alwayse in the background, the main characters never said anything, and yet this was one of the most entertaining and amazing films i have ever seen!
Hey man, just here to say I really loved it; I just started to study filmmaking in college and this kind of stuff really fill me with excitement and inspiration. Keep up the good work, I’ll be on the lookout for anything you do next! Hope we can maybe work together someday haha.
God.... the original cinematography is so beautiful 😭
Буду честен, мозг сломался когда увидел рубли в кошельке=))))))
0:18
if this guy didnt watch Reservoir Dogs at some point..
100%
😉
i saw what happened but didn't understood what actually happened
Fun! Love the complete lack of dialogue between these two players. Like the other commenter, grateful for whatever brought me here! Subscribed
This was amazing, really no words, but just as a question why did you use Rubel?
love this! the rhythm of the edit is spot-on
this is sick but I live in LA and if you got pickpocketed the police are NOT gonna help you🤣
So happy this popped up in my recommendations!! Direction, cinematography, sound, editing are on point!
ОТКУДА У НЕГО 100 РУБЕЛЙ ТО В КОШЕЛЬКЕ?
Everything is on the spot, cinematography, quick and crisp sound. A small snippet of 2 dippers meeting at a spot exchanging glances. Elegant . Reminds me of reservoir dogs. Kudus to the whole cast and crew !
Ты чë наши 100 рублей российских выкинул, а?
DUDE! This film is flipping AWESOME! Just watched twice. And the fact it was so short yet so good - wow, just wow!
The first song is called Anchin Kfu Ayinkash and the second song is called Sintayehu both by Hailu Mergia and the Dahlak Band for those curious - ua-cam.com/video/Z0D5NnUFfC4/v-deo.html
Сто рублей повеселили. 😊Классная посхалка.
I rarely comment. But wow. I am so inspired. Thank you for this, honestly! Very clever directing and cuts.
Рубли в кошельке.. Я ожидал чего угодно, но не этого
It either looks like a Well professional million dollar Super bowl commercial or an A24 film...
Well done, This is amazing.
100 рублей в кошельке - это было сильно))
SO GOOOOOOOOOD. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE.
сидит сотками раскидывается
Don’t lose something you need for something you want, that’s the lesson i got here.
увидеть нашу сотку здесь, я ну ни как не ожидал xD
Bravo. That was fantastic.
The richness and vibe were so good.
...never trust a criminal...😅
Satisfyingly well done film in all: sound, scenes, acting, plot, colours, ancles, twists... Superb!
THE MARLBORO REFERENCE.
that made my day.
why does bro look like mark zuckerburg 💀💀
This was great! Best short film I've seen in a long time! Lighting, coloring, everything felt top notch.

This is the type of stuff you watch and can't help but feel inspired to go C R E A T E. Hell yeah brother keep up the greatness.
Ну ребят, 100 рублей тоже деньги
Nice script, I really enjoyed this short. Super creative and the color grade is superb!
so cool man, what did you edit this on?
Hi, sir! I'm really interested in 16mm film videos. But I couldn't find new 16mm films(especially films with sound). I want to know how you got 16mm films. Is Kodak still producing 16mm films?
100 рублей
The visual quality of this looks like some big movies. I love the lack of dialogue and just visually telling a short story. Also loved that slide transition in the streets with the sound effect 00:32
Russian money lol))) дарова ребзя)) круто сняли, нужен колорист? пишите)))
INTRO feels like chase scene from reservoir dogs....awesome job
And the basement looks ALMOST THE SAME as the Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. more Guy Ritchie vibe than Tarantino🤔
Сука, откуда там 100р?! АХАХАХАХАХАХА
Tarantino's influence. Great Work

Погодите, чего, 100 рублей!?... Oh, I'm sorry, I meant: wait, what, 100 rubles!?
Great acting, great writing, great cinematography! I would pay for a bts...
Well done,Looks way better than any 1080p HD digital images to me. Thanks man :-)
What camera did u use? And editing equipment? If u have a sec, very impressive.

А вообще очень красиво снято
My humble feedback: This little video is one of the better short films, so consider that I liked this video and the next part, just nitpicking and ideas which could make the short better. I know this is a short and not a feature, with limited time and resources, and again this is the better ones.
Colors wise I like the look, and I couldn't see anything wrong with it. Anyone with an eye can see the magic of film and all the work involved.
Blocking: In terms of lateral movement, the first running scene would be better if it were recorded from left to right rather than right to left. The second running scene with the yellow character could be staged in a way that makes it clear to the viewer that they are running toward each other, and also show that they are hiding in the same building. Maybe he could’ve run from the right to the left in the beginning etc.
Camera: On the other hand some camera angles are a bit out of place and not in the right perspective. It seems like the director may be unsure about which focal length to choose and when to use it. It's difficult to give advice on this because it takes experience, which you can learn from this short video. You need to know where the actor is looking and will be looking and adjust the camera angles accordingly. Try to be as close to the actor as possible helps to see their POV. Just to give you an example the shots from 0:36 to 0:47 works great, but less so at 0:50 because you don’t need to pan since the actor is already looking at that direction.
At 1:04 the yellow actor was looking down too much and it would have been enough if he had only looked down a little at the cigeretta. Similarly, at 1:09, it would have been sufficient if he had gently looked at the window instead of moving his whole head. At 1:10, it would have been more logical if the yellow guy hid next to the jacket guy by the wall, rather than the position he took by the washing machine. The 1:10 window shot could be filmed from the right wall, showing the jacket guy’s perspective, or from the left and below the window, from the yellow guy’s point of view. These are gentle, but noticable, especially in films since the audience is glued to the screen.
Sound: There should be some low pass EQ filter applied to the fooley sounds to avoid having a “next to the sound” feel and generally should be in momo. ADR could be improved if the actor replicated the movements in the shot. The panned ADR with the spatial effects works great. Some sounds effects, like the woosh sounds are a bit forced.
I liked the short film and would rate it 7/10.
Looks pretty clean. Thought 16mm was pretty trashy. Def not a film expert though.
jeez - great ass job. Soderbergh vibes in 3 minutes. Simple and elegant. Bravo! Did it go to any film festivals? And where did you film this - it looks like vintage LA
Digital will never beat celluloid. There's something magical how film capture the light. How skin tones looks natural. That little shiny clouds. Those golden sparks. I miss those times when movies were shot on film.
An actually digestible short film?
сто рублей зачем выкидывать то… надеюсь, ни одни сто рублей не пострадали во время съемки
Внезапно русские деньги)) очень классная короткометражка👍🏻👍🏻
Guys Kai Cenat is retiring to play pro basketball :/
-_- this is not a joke
Yo you found your style/niche, keep growing! SUBBED!
There’s something about that short. You just watch it because you want to know. It’s an eye and attention magnet.
❤
Outstanding work.
100 рублей это 1 доллар, зря выкинул. 100 rubles is 1 dollar, I wasted it in vain.
бля рил на 100 рублей даже вонючих сигарет не купишь. жиза, а не кинематограф
потрясающий фильм очень классная и вайбовая картинка, но больше с чего посмеялся так это с купюры в 100 рублей
