I was so lucky to have a great cast and crew. Also to have that hydraulically lowered storefront already there next to the studio was something that I had to work into the movie.
Man! That transition from the star to the movie theater was magical!! I love how you can tell a great story, with ending, fun, engaging, so much better than most shorts on Omeleto or Dust which most of the time are just time wasters. I've been watching lots of shorts lately and, yeah, some are great, but most... Meh. On the other hand, yours? I watched your latest two and I'm not short of amazed! I loved this! I came from the StandUp Maths video and I feel like I have found a gem! Ps: I love the stunt-stuffed cat ROFLMAO! PLAYING CARDS!! AWESOME!!! I can see so much love going into these shorts! 🧡🧡🧡 Thanks for making this world a better one, one short at a time! 💜 I subscribed from the instant I saw your cat-on-a-rocket logo 😸 Ps2: you should add subtitles so I can share it with my friends (they all speak argentinian spanish), auto translation does a good job and I can compensate when it fails. You'd just need to correct the autogenerated ones a bit and then anyone around the globe can use auto translation from those 🤗 or the entire galaxy, for that matter 😄
Thanks so much, it's comments like yours that make me enjoy making new episodes even more than I already do, which is just for the fun of it. I really make the episodes for myself since I'd like to see something like this, and if others enjoy it too, that's a bonus. I was able to do the star transition without any special effects, which sometimes is just as effective. There's a limit to what I can get my real cats to do, so I built the animatronic one, even if it isn't very realistic. I just have a micro budget so I try to make the most of what I have. In fact I didn't think I'd be able to get other actors to be in it, so the series started out to be centered just around Will and his cat.
@@williamhedges1519 It serves 2 purposes: having the cat "performing" every scene needed and avoiding haters shouting "animal abuse" at the motorcycle chase on "The cat that came back" 😋 I certainly loved that transition, like, everything fell into place! It was THAT good! And a great story too! 😀 Thanks again for sharing these gems!

Hi William i watched your movie , and i wanted to thank you. I wanted to thank you because it gave me that feeling that eventually im going to shoot my own movie . Bit of history > In 2005 got interested in film , started working as best boy , and in 2007 passed exams started studying cinematography. At that time i came up with final form if my own movie. But always was thinking too early ,im not good enough etc. Unfortunately quitted college to early coz was working at various commercials , music videos , was very busy , young, and on top was making good money. Most of my life i worked as gaffer , second unit d.p. and after about 10 years i forgot about my initial wish , why i everything started , forgot that initially i wanted to make my own film. 2010s i worked less and less , lost contacts , and moved to totally different kind of work. But after watching your film this initial certainty came back, that i will shoot my own sort of film even only my and my cat will watch in the end. Best wishes William. Serge.
Although I was always a hobbyist filmmaker since high school starting out with Super 8, it wasn't until I retired from the post office that I started to make the kind of films that I really wanted to make and I created a little studio to realize my decades old dream. I still make my films as a hobby and I really make them mainly for me since these are the types of films that I always wanted to see, and if others like them as well, that's just a bonus. Starting out I didn't even think I could get other actors to be in my movies so that's why I used my cat. However I've been lucky to have met other filmmaker friends along the way who like going along on my ride. I just enjoy the entire creative process from writing to editing. Good luck with your films, it's never too late to start on them and follow your dreams.
Thanks, this is one episode that I didn't have to build anything for, it already existed including a set from a previous film. It was also easier because I had some great actors in it.
Thanks, You've probably been to that Rivoli theater then. They had switched over to digital projection there, so the projection room was filmed in my little studio.
@@williamhedges1519 the editing was seamless! Yes, I grew up in Seward so have probably seen over 200+ Films there over the years, and probably rented 10 times that amount from their rental store. My Mom and Sister worked with Julie for years, as well as a number of my friends
@@TangoDelta70This film premiered at the Flatwater Film Festival in Seward last year, it was so nice that Julie also got an award then for her contribution to the town. Theaters and rental places like that are so much nicer and friendlier than the chain theaters.
All is fine, this winter I've been working on other projects but I'm filming the next episode next month. After Schrödinger's Cat I did make another, The Cat Came Back ua-cam.com/video/gbclmRgZuBQ/v-deo.html
Anyone else here after watching the Stand-Up Maths video on the Burroughs 220? This is great!
eerie
I came here from that vid. What a gem this channel is!
Yup!!
Jon Oliver is gonna learn physics just to get all the easter eggs.
Very creative and well executed! Bravo!
Excellent Bill You never Disappoint Great Job
Really liked this one too. Brilliant work.
Great story Bill. I always did like alternate reality universes. This was a good example. Compliments to your film crew and actors.
I was so lucky to have a great cast and crew. Also to have that hydraulically lowered storefront already there next to the studio was something that I had to work into the movie.
Great Movie Bill
My cat and I just watched your video but we'll probably have to rewatch it as she slept through most of it :D
My cat needs a nap after about 15 minutes of filming, her cat union's rules :)

@@williamhedges1519 what a beautiful black cat! And she gives high fives! ❤️❤️❤️
Love the minor rendition of twinkle twinkle little star
Sometimes I find the perfect music for a shot.

Brilliant! All the elements of a lucid dream in the Twilight Zone. Had a little trouble hearing your dialogue in the beginning but it leveled out.
I loved the Twilight Zone, it inspires me. In the next episode, Will goes into the Shadow Zone.
@@williamhedges1519 I thought you might be a "Twilight Zone" kind of guy
Another great episode! TZ feel for sure.
This was wonderful
Thanks, this is one episode that I didn't have to build anything for, it already existed including a set from a previous film. It was also easier because I had some great actors in it.
I really like the spooky version of Twinkle Twinkle little star that plays when he sees what he thinks is a super nova.
Love it!
Awesome Film! Makes me homesick for Nebraska (especially I’m from Seward!)

16:45 song?
It's listed as "deception " on the subscription music service site Storyblocks, where all my music comes from.
So this is what 1970's movies would look like if they had our camera's and microphones
Hi Bill hope all is well. We haven't seen any posts for awhile. Everything alright? We're starting to miss your here.

@@williamhedges1519 That's great Bill. We'll watch any thing you post. I'm an ardent fan. Cheers!

This makes me feel a little uneasy. Like he's got Alzheimer's and they don't realize it yet.
