The colors! The lighting! The music! The grown man who could somehow fit inside that tiny fridge!!
This was so great. You’re such a gifted storyteller.
Thanks for the kind words Melanie! That fridge had actually been built a long time prior to making this and in my head I was thinking that it was pretty big... It wasn't until I got to the location the day before we started shooting that I realized that there was no freaking way he was going to be able to fit inside and close the door, haha!
Well, here it is!
Cool video! Love from Hong Kong!
@@pyeitme508 Hong Kong! Nice! Cheers :)
@@isaaccarlton thanks!
Very nice cinematography. I can tell that you definitely put a lot of thought into your craft.
I've been going through UA-cam just looking for different shit. This was the best thing I've seen in a WHILE. Def inspired me for the videos on my next project. Had to come through and show some love. Keep at it bro!
So beautiful.
Ahhh! Thanks Joshua!!
Dude, this is so good! The idea, the aesthetic, all of it.
Thanks Gabe! I appreciate you checking it out :)
1:14 made me jump haha. Fantastic work my friend, really enjoyed it :)
Haha, good! I was hoping that it was a bit startling to people. Thanks for watching man!
best short film EVER
Sorry for late comment but the cinematography is incredible! I love how you made such a great 5 minute film. I also wanna do filming when I’m older and this inspires me! Keep at it man!
Do it now, not when you're older
@@isaiahskates6587 I do make movies on my channel if you wanna check them out! Thanks for the courageous response!
I love this so much! So creative! And the quality is stellar!
Dude! So good. Been watching your videos for a minute and I can see how you've grown stylistically and as a director. I like the little nods to back to the future, stranger things, and groundhog day (at least in my estimation), but it was really captivating. I really wasn't bothered by the small fridge because I saw him falling into the space transport and the door subsequently closing behind him. Killed it!
Hey Shannon! Those were all influences on this for sure! Back To The Future is one of my all time favorites and Stranger Things is definitely my favorite show. Edge of Tomorrow and Close Encounters were big influences as well. So glad that you enjoyed it and I really appreciate the feedback!
So good. Keeping it clear and to the point but done creatively. Tight!
Really nice work. Always great to see a well done short from from a new director!
Thank you Peter. Appreciate you checking it out!
it's great, i'm captivated by the story!!!
Amazing! How much did the entire video coast it to make?
love this so much! it has such a great mood and you guys were able to show so much character without the main character even saying anything. it also plays with the idea of if time travel existed at all... wouldn't someone have traveled back in time, so you'd possibly know about it lol, which is so fun to see in a film 👌👌
brebytheway brebytheway thanks so much for your insight and feedback! It was really fun writing how the main character would interact with the machine and the time loop!
This is awesome! The lighting is always good in your films, but I think the sound design took the cake in this one!
Ooh! Good to hear that. It was really important to me to have dynamic sound design since there is almost no dialogue.
This was great! Excellent job by everyone involved. The lighting was insanely cool.
Dang! Thanks Nick! It was a super fun one to make.
Sound and visuals were awesome, glad to finally see this! Keep up the great work man :)
Appreciate that! Getting the finished look and feel with the color grade and sound design was so much fun.
Dang... where can I get one of those fridges?
Try Facebook marketplace.
This is amazing and incredibly captivating. Loved it!
You are kind! Thanks for always watching!
I have been really wanting to start making short films and stuff, but i needed motivation... YOUR CHANNEL IS SO MOTIVATING!!
Amazing! Excited for you to start 🔥
@@isaaccarlton Thanks! I really needed that.
So awesome! Executed with style and perfection. Mind bender.
Thanks Dan! Appreciate you watching bro.
Funny little thing: Back to the Future was gonna be a fridge but they changed it. Thats what this made me think of
This is next level, Isaac. Incredible.
Margaret Stokman Thanks Marg! 🤩
BEAUTIFUL. Totally nailed the pacing on this. Started with a fairly simple idea, but the execution was almost flawless. Only very minor complaint was the shot at 4:29 not starting off in focus and pulling back to keep him in focus, but that's it. Super minor. Love the dolly shots, love the lighting, love the spacey/inspirational guitar/electronic blended sci-fi music. Love how each shot felt very intentional. Well worth the wait, Isaac. Well done. Can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you so much for the feedback bro! I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I know what you mean with that shot! Unfortunately that angle was super wonky so we had to film it without watching the screen. By that point of shooting I was so tired that I'm just happy I didn't film the entire sequence with the lens cap on, haha!
@@isaaccarlton Haha, I feel you. Like I said, super minor thing. Phenomenal work.
@@Yoyoman835 Petition for Sony to introduce flip out screens!
Worth the wait.
Hey . I found you yesterday. Since yesterday l have seen all of your videos. I love bro
woooow, I LOVE it!
This is awesome! I'm really waiting for your channel to blow up, I'm sure it will!
Thank you Daria!!
So great, love when the actor walks out with all the stars in the sky !! Curious to see where he went....
Can I hire you to write part 2?
Isaac Carlton you would loose all your followers 😂
Gosh I really like this short film.
Cody Osell outdone himself
That was awesome!
Thank you!
Loving your work buddy. I just stumbled upon your channel and I had to follow. This film had me dying of laughter, I’m sure we can all relate to this. My barber wasn’t free so I went to his colleague and he has ruined my hair, he honestly
Shouldn’t be allowed to cut paper haha. Looking forward to the next film.
Awesome film. Cody did a great job in the role.
Thank you! He really did, super talented guy.
Great job!
Damn Cody is a great designer and actor!!!!!
Truth!
This is so good! Awesome work!!!
Thanks Matthew!! We had a blast making it.
your stuff is always dope, i expected something this good🔥
Really appreciate that man! Thank you for stopping by!
That was amazing! Very profesional. It kind of had a "Stranger Things" feel to it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I'm a big Stranger Things fan so I am really happy to hear that.
There is so much potential with this concept. This is a nice short film.
I think "Stealing Time (2011)" was a better fit for this concept because they did much more with it. But it also will take more time and energy to do more with it.
Thank you for watching and for the feedback! I will have to check out Stealing Time.
@@isaaccarlton Sure, just ask me if you want more time travel recommendations. I write short films too, but I don't film them myself.
he dosent realize he's entering the future
I HAVE QUESTIONS AS TO HOW AND WHY...
and what comes next
But the audio/sound editing is really cinematic.
Thank you for your time and consistent quality.
I would really love to hear any feedback, thoughts, and questions! Feel free to shoot me an email if want: isaaccarlton1996@gmail.com
Thank you so much for watching! I'm really excited to hear that the sound stood out to you.
Haha, I live near Petoskey. Great job!!
Awesome! I used to stay at Mullet Lake in Cheboygan every summer. That place is very special to me :)
Cute idea!
such a banger
Great work Isaac!!!! I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Karsten! Tried to make it THICK for you!
@@isaaccarlton lol
Amazing🎉u should make a longer film 😅
This is so awesome! We want to mak cool videos like yors someday!
Good job, I thought this was really well done.
Thanks!!!
Hah! ...that was fun.
When did he go? Did he go forward, did he go back? ....who knows?! How far forward or back, would he bounce around in time, is he even still alive, and most importantly....WHY DIDN"T HE TAKE THE DAMNED FLASH LIGHT?
He went forward and he definitely should have taken the flashlight with him!
I cant believe i got recommended and...im too late ?
AGHHHHHH!!!!!
where'd ya go??????????
Wow! That was great... can I ask if the stars in the sky were real or not? Because they looked incredible either way
Good question! I was hoping for real ones that night, but we got rain instead. Those are all fake.
Bro should have a Netflix series show
I can't believe that this is Cody from Brickmania lol
Legend has it that he likes every comment.
And comments
You need more subs and likes
What was the budget of this movie? if you don't mind me asking. The cinematography and writing, and the acting is awesome.
Thanks so much! If I had to guess, probably about $1,000. Main expenses were hiring a colorist and renting a lens. The lighting kit we used was rescued from getting thrown in a dumpster and we owned the rest of the gear. The time machine was created for a different short that never got made, so I repurposed it for this one.
@@isaaccarlton that's kinda affordable, awesome job with a 1000$ budget. Subbed.
GREAT MOVIE! But I need to know what happened to him. SOMEONE suggest something pls.
When is part 2 coming?
Summer of 2027
I don't get it. Did he go forward 3 minutes? What?
Er, no, you can see after he looks at that he starts pressing numbers, presumably traveling to some time in the future.
That is a 1950s fridge
The first shall be on time
100%
How tall is Cody? He looks 170m ish
You would have to ask him :) Probably around 5-9" ish.
Am I the only one here who recognises Cody?
I do too!
Isaac Carlton what happened to him in the end? I need him to keep on making kits!
@@u.h.forum. Haha! Don't worry, he is still making amazing kits. Just in a different time :)
Isaac Carlton is this foreshadowing?
I still don't get what happened.
He was just hungry and kept checking the fridge for food.
what the fuck
Lame
I love this so much! So creative! And the quality is stellar!
Thanks Sarah!
