The cut from when he was hurt on the field to him on the couch was great 0:54

[@gdevylder]

Thanks! One of the main (and only) planned transitions lol but super happy with how it came out

[@TheRealMaulidi]

Riiiiiiight !!!

[@shaileshjadhav8432]

Wow, there aren't any dialogues, but still the message of this film is so powerful. Amazing transitions, music, and cinematography.

[@gdevylder]

I’m so glad. Thanks !

​@@gdevylder hello bro, I see you have few subscribers but this movie become popular how did you do that?
I'm about to film a movie too, but there's no sense, If I won't get any view after Posting, so I would really appreciate if you Said how to make popular

[@gdevylder]

@@raimkul4191 Hey, first of all, I would shift your perspective and make the film for YOU. It'll feel too pressured and be no fun to create if you are only thinking about social media views... For this film it was made for practice and just got lucky that it got some views on youtube but I hope that doesn't stop you from trying and practicing! Good Luck!

[@mikeyii591]

This definitely deserves more views. Absolute masterpiece.

[@gdevylder]

Thanks so much!

[@adannada7563]

Really well made short film. That last shot is pure cinema. No need to show the rest of the football team, or a crazy big audience. You're just telling us the end of the character progression by him crossing the line that separates the court from the rest of the grass, with the pleasure of the music that's perfectly accompanying the process. Amazing. Congratulations for such a great work!

[@gdevylder]

Wow thanks a lot!!

[@Youpiterka]
