As an avid western fan and a die hard JOHN WAYNE FAN with over a hundred of his films. I really enjoyed your movie the SEEKER keep up the good work .
Wow! Thank you so much for the positive feedback!! Especially from such a dedicated western fan! 🤠🙌🏼
Whisf, wisf, wisf, wisf! Trav, spin those guns! Production values...excel Ente! Perfect amount of sauce on a great spaghetti western.🌵🌵🌵
Wow thank you Joseph!! I appreciate that! 🤠🙏🏼
Good to see their clothes in such good condition considering the location and the dust, and horse riding and and and. Those little details make such difference to the ambience and reality.
😂😂
Great movie. Good action good directing. As a historian and cowboy shooter. I loved it.
Wow! Thank you so much Mike!! I’ll be making more of these and wrote a feature too 🎬😁🙌🏼
I actually really liked this short I love westerns so this was my kinda thing I'm just beginning my filmmaking career I'm making a crap tonne of westerns this year and next, but this 10/10 really enjoyable
Awesome! Making a second one! Good luck with your films 🤠
The shooting skill, the action scene, the effects, the acting 👏 👌 well done 👏
Wow thank you Angel! Yeehaw 🤠
Best one so far. I loved it!!! So proud of you Travis!
Wow! Thank you Marlene! There’s so much i learned on this one and can’t wait to make more westerns!!
@@travbeachboy can’t wait to see more!
It's so exciting to see you grow and become better and better with each movie. Everyone was fantastic! Especially Lauren, which seemed like a natural. Keep up the good work 👏 🎉
Wow thank you Amanda for watching! Yes, I wanna make this happen so I’m gonna keep working at it! Each one gets better! I just need a budget meow 🤠🙌🏼🎥🎬
Awesome movie, awesome gun fighting! Beautiful woman ❤!
Wow thank you very much 😁🤠 I have another western coming out in a couple weeks!
WOW!! Travis, you really packed A LOT into 6 1/2 minutes!! The fight scene was so intense. The costumes, the makeup on your hand, the special effects with the blood splatter from the bullet wound, so well done!! You went all out for this one my friend. Very well done ❤️❤️
Yes! I tried to make it a high impact viewing experience, since it’s really hard to keep people’s attention for a long time on social media 😹 make up on the hand could use some more work, but I think next time I’m gonna try spray gun make up 😹🤠🎥🎬
@@travbeachboy pro tip, next time put a blue based red lipstick over the tattoo before the foundation and concealer. The lipstick will work as a color correction for the blue hues of the ink and help conceal the outline. It works the same for dark circles under the eyes and discolored spots on the skin. 🧡🎨💄
Absolutely perfect ❤️Everyone played well 🥰 But you Trav.. really shined 🤗❤️
Awe thank you Dena 🤠🙌🏼
"I got a pistol pointed at your belly. You really wanna argue with me?" Thankfully the answer was yes, or it woilda meant one less gunfight. Cool scene.

Video idea
Three bounty hunters vs Danboy…
Three bounty hunters as a team are on the lookout for Danboy. They finally locate him and ask him to surrender. Danboy says he will, but they have to answer his question.
Danboy: How do you want to live your life after you get the reward?
Bounty hunter-1: I want to live life as long as possible, even if I struggle with difficulty.
(Danboy’s mind-voice: You will get it in the gut/stomach)
Bounty hunter-2: I will live life as and when it comes, without taking decisions ahead of time.
(Danboy’s mind-voice: You will get it in the chest)
Bounty hunter-3: I want to live without any pain and struggles.
(Danboy’s mind-voice: You will get it in the head)
After listening to their views on life
Danboy: Well, I don’t want to surrender right now. I changed my mind. Let’s have a duel, I can take on the three of you at the same time. And I can assure you that I would *respect your views on life*.
Bounty hunter: Well, Danboy, we are three in number, do you think you can take us on?
Danboy: Numbers don’t matter. I am much faster than you, that’s what is important.
They get ready for a duel. Danboy pulls first, shoots bounty hunter-1 in the gut, bounty hunter-2 in the chest and bounty hunter-3 in the head all of them one after the other in quick succession. He goes near bounty hunter-3 and says, “I gave you a quick death without any pain since you wanted to live without pain and struggles”. He goes near bounty hunter-2 (who is still gasping) and says, “you can choose when to give up just like your view on life”. Just as he says that bounty hunter-2 dies. Finally, he goes near bounty hunter-1 and says, “I will watch you die slowly, as you wanted to live long”. He struggles and shakes his body for a while, and finally dies.
Danboy: Well bounty hunters, you came to kill me and collect your bounty and to enjoy your life. But it looks like you have dug your own graves. Ha Ha Ha….
Bonus Scene/ Alternate ending:
Danboy: Let’s have a duel, I can take on the three of you at the same time. I am much faster than you and you will not be able to put a single bullet on me.
Bounty hunter-2 looks at the other two bounty hunters and nods his head. They too respond with a nod, signaling a secret plan.
As expected Danboy is faster and he shoots first, but all the bounty hunters fall on their knees to escape the bullets, stand on one knee, and each bounty hunter shoots one bullet at the same time. Three bullets hit Danboy at the same time, one in the stomach, one in the chest and in the forehead. Danboy looks shocked and gives the bounty hunters a “Thumbs up” and falls down.
Bounty hunters go near Danboy and says, “You were right Danboy, we didn’t put a single bullet on you, but we put three bullets in you. Ha Ha Ha… You might have been faster than us, but we were smarter than you”. Ha Ha Ha…
Haha I love that you took the time to write all that out! Awesome idea 🤠🙌🏼🎬🎥
The plot is solid. Editing and filming were on point. Light was brilliant. Acting spectacular. I liked this tremendously. 👍👍
Wow! Glad you enjoyed it! I really love the positive feedback! 🤠🎬🎥

Well, thanks for watching anyways
@@travbeachboy
*"SWISH, SWISH, SWISH"* - YOU ARE VERY WELCOME - LMAO!!!!!!!
Lol
@@travbeachboy
BUT YOU DO HAVE A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, BRAVO!!!!!!!
Seeker? But I don't even know her!
Haha that was good 😂🤠
@@travbeachboy this is your type of joke! 🤣
ooh he a cowboy 🤠
Sure am ma’am 🤠
@@travbeachboy well good thing i like cowboys 🥰
Meowstastic Trav!!! Lot of actions, nice place, costumes, different actors. I quite like it. Great job. Now I want to laugh. It would be great to see some bloopers especially when you handle the gun huh 😂😂😂. Anyway it was a great time to watch. 😊
Wow thank you Steve! Believe it or not I worked really hard on the gun spinning so they weren’t much bloopers on that 😂 but it was a super hot day in the desert in with only the actors working on it, we did the best we could hehe 🤠
Awesome!
Wow! Thank you so much for commenting and watching 🤠🙌🏼
@@travbeachboy no worries 🙂
Is there a second part to this story? You got me hooked and there is no sequel. lol.
Making a follow up :)
@@travbeachboy I’ll look for it. Thanks.
Great work everybody!
Wow! Thank you Maria!! ☺️🤠🙌🏼
Not really crazy about western movies but that was good. 👍👍👍
Wow thank you! Yeah, I find a lot of westerns boring so I was trying to make some thing that was more entertaining 🤠
Sequel please.
Awesome coming right up! :)
Okay, I have to be honest. That was pretty good! Just don't let the cats see it. It'll give them some bad ideas :)
Wow! Thank you so much! Lots more to come! I won’t tell the kitties 🐱😂🎥
How awesome! The actors did fantastic, the outfits were great as well! Cinematography was also on point. The main critique I have are the digital blood effects. Production Crate has some great effects, but I would recommend going more practical for a western personally. I think it looks more fitting for when someone gets shot it cuts to them having a bullet hole with just a little blood around it, toning it down more and making it more realistic. However, if you want something more over the top, getting a sprayer for bug poison and such, and hooking up a tube also does the trick. Otherwise, great short film!
Thank you very much! Check out the other western I did on my other channel @plunderpictures the graphics and everything are a lot better on that one! I appreciate the feedback back! 😁🙌🏼
Enjoyed. But not sure why the brother levered his rifle and cycled out a good round 😂
They aren’t the smartest bounty hunters 😂🤠 thanks for watching!
@@travbeachboy looking forward to future video. Love the westerns
@@travbeachboybest answer 😂😂😂😂
excellent
Thank you :) check out my new western ua-cam.com/video/bnnYv1925Og/v-deo.htmlsi=JtN_XyquboDqd9LV
Those vfx tho 😂😂
And this is why I need your help brother 😹 that is NOT my expertise 😂
@@travbeachboy I'd love to help. But you know how it is. Bills don't pay themselves unfortunately
Maybe one day when I'm rich I can help out
Makes sense bro! I haven’t been able to work in 6 months now because waiting on green C I feel the pain 🥺 I just wanna make cool shit. I’m trying the best I can do with no help and no budget haha and just learning as a go 😅
@@travbeachboy yeah I get it. At least you got lots of supporters. That's a start
Duel!!!!!
Haha heck yes 😁
Nice film, Travis! I haven't seen pistol twirling in ages! Love it! Maybe in a future episode Winston has to rescue a fluffy orange someone.
Thank you for watching 🤠🎥🎬🙌🏼 yes Jacob can be my trusty steed 😹
seems these gentlemen are(were) at least well hydrated...
Not sure what you mean but… Thanks for watching 🤠
I'll call you Winston.
Haha works for me 🤠
This is good. Sound is very crisp. Yes on the pistol spins.@@travbeachboy
I really like this Trav!! You're gettin better every time! 👍
Is this what you've been up to for the last couple of months????
I bet there are a lot of people who like you more with a little less clothes on🤣
But for me personally you can lose the mustache
I really appreciate you watching! Yes, I’m getting better every time, I have a real passion for this, so I hope it turns into something bigger! One new short every week? I’m trying to do a brand change though cause I’m tired of just being shirtless and people liking that I personally love the mustache I think it’s great for this character. 😂🤠🤣🎬🎥
@@travbeachboy Okay, for the character it's looking great 😄
And 1 short every week?😲 Wow, that would be great Trav. Keep up the good work and euhh you'll always be the beachboy😜😘
Good i from Indonesia 🇮🇩❤
