It was a night unlike any other day,
I was standing on the edge of the cliff hugging the sunset - it kicked me in the head at about 40dB and asked me to leave her be so that she can finish her shift but alas, the moon stood her up.
I turned and walked in reverse. I fell. I fell again. I fell again. I was sick of falling so I got up when suddenly I felt myself surrounded. I felt right.
2 VR6 dogs, one brown, one left started negotiating with me a monologue and when they were done, they started running towards me with an ambition never seen that night. they worked on me for a few hours to think they're dogs. their work yielded my bones.
The cliff drew me towards itself. I pulled back but found it was charged with attractivity and i stayed hanging on it's lip. it screamed. I realized that David Copperfield is dead for a while now thus he cannot help me up.. and besides.. he's an asshole.
I grabbed the tongue of a mexican eggplant passing in its car at the same moment. assuming I prefered to stay alive, I decided to claim my innocence and ask the honorable eggplant to lift me up not foreseeing any dagner since an eggplant as all eggplants, is mute. Murphey decided to prove me wrong and the eggplant asked for a cigarette. to my surprise, I fell down.
Death was quick and insensitive, it cursed my existance in every possible way until i bled diet cola.
I returned to my home petit, and sprained my ankle. It hurt. As i sat to eat breakslow, my brain figured out that a mechanical catalogization of the day's happenings will certainly be preceived as a routine incident of prehistorical philanthropy and so, I will save the world. I sew a custome. returning to the cliff, I triple jumped from the cliff for inspiration but found that I am not strong enough as to flap my hands so to keep me in the air for more than a few moments and I banged my head on a sharp rock which calibrated its position to hit my brain a few moments before i landed.
A cornslice came out of an unhomogeneous door, stroke me a niner and lost itself to death.. poor corn.
spunked up, my decision to finish the day was fatal to my socks. I fell asleep to death.
I didnt know mescaline was still popular. I once puked whole sheets of plywood.
I was supposed to eat that pill? I gave it away as candy on halloween! I guess I live in a bad neighborhood so no harm done, right?

what was the word i dont for
clearly you guys have gone crazier than I have. so to reclaim my insanitfy i'll post another story i wrote like 6 years ago.
The indian guy who didn't know why (biblical story)
it was 8:00 pm, and it was green
I leaped over to the window to watch a game of EarBall between 2eggplants who tried kick one another in the ear while the "babbit rabbit" ate one of them but the blinds were closed and I couldn't see anything.
I could not ignore the fact that by using an RPG you can just lift the blind and his sister but due the a short workday in radioactive cornflakes factory I gave up the sportive activity required to perform the action.
Even tho it was summer, it wasn't cold. on the contrary, i WAS cold. I went out to the garden to find a best viewing angle but the eggplants were already gone and "babbit rabbit" died from an epileptic siezure due to stamp overlicking.
I wore my underwear, went outside, and back in. I was sick of being inside all day so I came back in and went down to the attic to sort my collection of beans. one bean attacked me with a dropkick to the left brow but i managed to contain it by injecting 6 litres of cyanide to its left lobe. it screamed for help but there was no one there. Yossi died.
As i was sorting my beans by name, i felt a pat on my shoulder. I turned 360 degrees and saw exactly what i was seeing before. I thought that this might've been a defected calculation and maybe 520 more degrees are required... when suddenly, i saw it. a big head with nothing underneath was looking at me through glittering eyes with a huge nose, 2 eyebrows connected by a safety pin and 2 chin dimples.
the glittering eyes with the huge nose turned to me and asked: "who's boy are you?!"
I responded.
This was face traumatizing. since then, i do not go down to the attic anyless to sort beans by name - only by format (bean.exe.. and so forth)..
Hello thought i'd put it all together to make it easier to read im still adding but feel free to help add to it
if you cant tell im bored :/ btw also added txt file if you want to add then re upload in []'s is extra info or bits i added to make sense in ()'s is things that were there but don't make much sense
Edit: quite offended by some of the iPad comments on here as im using my ipad for the story and pc for typing
The fat man ran twenty miles round and round until he fell and went to rehab for
falling then he got up and started to dance like a chinpanzee with a very very large
pen in his left pocket, then went to mexico where he dated a rather nice banana in
pinstripes who was suspiciously not what she wanted to eat.
Whilst that's happening far far away on a distant planet where the came back

"Get yourself into a mental rehab" Mcintyre was singing, to an iphone, then found XDA
whilst browsing porn and did stuff with his tiny girl friends hand which was also
another name for a transforming robot which has the power to transform and split into

an iPhone, then your buggered, unless you dance to the biggest rom chef here whilst
chugging some delicious apple juice, which you made trying to forget about your Apple
with a worm.
Her big headahe caused me agro deep inside my thought about going to get some new

Hey guys, I would love to hear your opinions on my short film that i've made. This is my 2nd short film including my student short film from last year.
We spent about $300 for the whole short film, pre-production to completion. We didn't have much money to make the movie to begin with, so we went in and hoped for the best. The crew was very small too, but I guess we have to start somewhere
I encountered many problems, which you'd expect for such a low budget short film (especially actors), but I've learnt from those mistakes as I begin writing my next short film and hope for a much better output for the next one.
We got busted by the police for the traffic light scene with helicopters and all, but they were nice enough to let us go.
enjoy and let me know what you think

Sounds like you had some fun doing that! I would watch it, but I have to watch my download use for the rest of January... 10 days and we have used up 3/5 of our quota... and the movie file size is about 350mb I think it says, so tomorrow morning (off-peak ;D). Looks rather professional in the very first part!

Well, firstly, you have a great camera-man! Those panning shots were smooth and I didn't see much if any shuddering etc. The focus is great, works especially well with the lights in the night, gives it some visual depth.
Music was soft and helpful for meaning in some scenes, and that keychain/locket was a good symbol for realising which car it was.
The actors weren't that bad in my opinion, way better than anything I could ever do Like others have said, it's more professional than I was expecting! The storyline was a bit confusing at times (or maybe it was me...) but I guess there's only so much you can fit into 16 minutes, so well done there.
Great job overall, keep up the good work! 'Liked' Maybe you should consider entering it somewhere, I'm not sure what's on in Sydney but it's worth a shot.
Just one thing though, why were you busted for the traffic light scene? Were you there for a while or something? I guess we only saw a tiny bit...

pur·ga·to·ry (pûrˈgə-tôrˌē, -tōrˌē)
noun pl. purgatories pur·ga·to·ries
A place or condition of suffering, expiation, or remorse: a purgatory of drug abuse.
purgatory; mental anguish or suffering
It's related to his past and the continued mental suffering he had every night. Especially the hallucinations caused by the pills he took to calm his anxiety attacks, which he didn't know were caused by the pills and was always stuck in this loop of events that haunted him, which is why the ending when Sandra's mother takes the pills from him, he is now able to deal with the past better because of the truth but also because the pills aren't there to bring back those hallucinations anymore to play with his mind again.

Haha, I would've loved to see that!!
The one other thing I have to mention about this movie was the fact that the main character didn't know how to drive a car properly, he was very very bad actually. 'Smoke and mirrors' made him look like a very good driver in the end.

We got busted by the cops because we had one car sit in the middle of the road high beaming the main characters car (when his face lights up as the other car speeds up towards him). This was around 11pm and the neighbours probably thought were doing something illegal like preparing for a drag race (we were beaming each other for 10 minutes) All of a sudden the ground illuminates and we look up and see a helicopter shining a light towards us, a minute later police arrive :\
The story was confusing at times but I made it so you essentially had to look back at even the subtle stuff he did, such as taking the pills then immediately after seeing the ghost car and girl to get a drift of the story.
To ease the confusion a bit for everyone, he was chasing himself. I left it open in one of the sections when Sandra reveals her name. In the story the character say's he doesn't know her however if the pills were causing only hallucinations, then how does he know he name. I left this part open for the audience to think for themselves. Did he know her name because of her death being mentioned at school but had completely forgotten about her until that night when he finally chases his own car and meets the girl or was she really a ghost who came down to tell him the truth about her actions.
The story was too complex for a short film but I think it was only after seeing so many simple linear short films that I wanted to take a different approach.
About entering it into festivals. I'm worried that the film isn't "good enough" yet to be shown at film festivals because of the small problems here and there. I'm trying to create a short film that really stands out at the film festivals and I personally don't believe this film is there yet.
Glad you liked it

Yeah I noticed that, but I couldn't do anything about it because by the time the other car turns left, it doesn't leave much room to fit in that shot and to give it the same kind of impact. I wanted to cut on the action of the main character turning left to the motion of the car but unfortunately the street lights caused a shadow. In the end, it was a very small problem that I couldn't to cut out because the content of the material was more important than the shadow appearing.

That would be an experience! You should tell that story at parties and stuff But I guess if I was one of the neighbours I would be a little worried... still at least you got off safe!

The story was too complex for a short film but I think it was only after seeing so many simple linear short films that I wanted to take a different approach.

I thought the pills may have had something to do with it! But I was still tired when I was watching it, so it didn't click then But when you say it like that, it does fall into place, so maybe it's a better plot than I thought
And different approaches are always good

That would be an experience! You should tell that story at parties and stuff But I guess if I was one of the neighbours I would be a little worried... still at least you got off safe!

Believe it or not, that single traffic light scene was the hardest part of the whole film. We were running against the time especially having to deal with a public road and waiting for the road to clear on both sides for the other car to drive straight through... oh my goodness, what a nightmare hehe.

Thanks hehe, yeah the plot appears to jump here and there but hopefully if the viewers pay attention to the small stuff that happen, then maybe the bigger picture makes more sense.
rewind millions of years. I was part of this massive collective consciousness terraforming the earth. We could move things thinking of it alone.We were moving continents, shaping the oceans, mountains.. etc... then I was assigned a task. I observed this one coral for ten millions years! my job was to observe and note everything about it. The coral turned into a precious stone. I felt the passage of millions of years, but felt not tired hungry or the need to sleep. I just stood there taking notes.
Lmao.. I'll have whatever you're having
But this was no dream, It's the thought from your past life,
Was I don in your dream?
Lol

Didn't something similar happen to Marvin in THHGTTG?
Drove him slightly bonkers iirc. Dreams like that make my head hurt.
I had a dream that the world was at war with Africa.
I was flying off the African coast when our plane crashed and I ended up in a life raft with some others, just as we saw the nukes hit.
We had a choice, either try to swim down below the flames/heat and hope to live but probably end up drowning, or stay at the surface for as long as possible and have a quicker death.
I chose the latter, and I remember trying to swim up to the surface after the raft was obliterated, and seeing the bones in my right arm.
Then everything went dark.
I was then in something like an underground abattoir, wearing a blood soaked rubber apron, huge meat cleavers and other nasty looking surgical implements were hanging up, and I had no control of my body, like I was undead.

Well it's good to not let a little thing like death get you down
Nope. I guess my brain is wired that way. I've always had vivid dreams.
One dream I had sometime ago:
There were 7 obelisks floating high up in the heavens. These obelisks represented the 7 major religions of earth. And miles way was a huge generic temple that encompassed my entire field of view. All of a sudden I heard 3 loud bell gongs that shook me to the depths of my soul (an apocalyptic kind of feel to the whole thing), and the 7 obelisks came crashing down on the temple destroying everything. Our view of God was flawed so our belief system was done away with. Now God was ready to present himself to us.
crazy uh?
I just generally tend to fail in my dreams. Dream about being able to fly...fail to take off. About to get down and dirty with a hot girl...wake up.
My dreams reflect my reality. Endless frustration.
FML.

I think i just need to download 'Brain V1.1, bug-fix patch'.
I had loads of mini dreams..Wierd
I remember i got a call from a friend:
(F = Friend, M = Me)
F - Dude where are you?!
M - I'm at my place. What?
F - What?! I'm waiting for you down the road in my Mustang, come!
M - I'm sorry, what?
F - Come and meet me!
M - What the hell are you talking about?
*Silence*
F - Oh crap, i just talked in my sleep. Yeah.... I'm at home.
I also remember crashing at his place after an alcoholic night, and when i woke up i turned around and saw that he had a lighter in his mouth, so i poked him and asked what the hell he was doing, and then he said "What? Ooooh, i dreamt that i was eating candy".
Danielle can be hilarious if she falls asleep on the sofa before we go up to bed.
She'll "wake up" and brush her teeth, tell me something like "have you authorised that file. For the unicorn. The file, you know, what Val said."
And I have to try and keep a straight face (difficult as she's so cute) otherwise she gets frustrated.
I once caught her putting her glasses in the dishwasher, not drinking glasses, spectacles!

I became quite good at starting it, but never succeeded in keeping it going. I was so into it at one point that I quite regularly realised that things in my dreams were obviously not real and therefore I was dreaming. I usually start flying and wake up a couple of seconds later, really excited. I think adrenaline kicks in with the excitement and it's too much for me to stay asleep
Apparently, spinning on the spot is good for not waking you up and once you've been doing that for a while you should have calmed enough to take full advantage of the situation.
How about you Dirk - have you had any luck?
anyone fall or get hit and like have a weird "jolt" and wake up ? Anyone else?xD

I tried for a while without success. Everything you're supposed to do as you fall asleep would only keep me awake!
I used to have terrible trouble falling asleep when i was younger though. Brain would just go into overdrive to the point where i would spin out with it all and have to get up again to calm down! It took some time but i trained myself to counter that and now i can fall asleep instantly using my 'method' (TM)

There's a name for that but for the life of me i can't remember what it is. Reminds me of Inception though!
Some say that the bad things that happen in dreams are your brains way of preparing you for the bad things that might happen while you're awake. Systematic desensitization if you like. I wonder if there's any truth in that?
So, there's a game I played on PC that I have strong memories and images of but I can't remember the title for the life of me. I was hoping that I could state the things about it I remember and maybe you could help me. I tried Googling it but I think I just confused the search engine. lol
Here goes: It's an RPG, kinda Final Fantasy/Xenogears/Chrono Cross style and it was released within the last 5 years. It starts high up on a mountain that peaks above the cloud line. There's a village there with people who are invisible to everyone but each other. There's an old man as the elder. The protagonist and his blue haired and adorned friend are poking around in some ruins. Ok, something happens where some monsters are starting to show up around the village so the main character has to go down the mountain, through some woods, to the bottom. At some point, they come across some warrior chick who's like a royal guard or something. They come to a long bridge that extends to a capital city. At some point, something happens in the temple there where tapestries and stuff are catching on fire and the protagonist does something extraordinary to stop it and save the day.
Back outside the city, if you're facing the bridge that goes to that capital city and proceed to the right for a bit, you come across a river with a destroyed bridge that no one can mend because some tornado monster thing is lurking on the river. Up the mountain from there it's barren and there's a........dragon(?).....that used to be the brother of some girl with an umbrella that she wants to save. That girl becomes a party member.
There's a lot more I remember, but these are the strongest memories. Please, help me out and gimme a name. Thanks.
BTW, It is NOT an MMO.
Ok, I figured it out. Funny, I was up for 2 hours last night trying to figure it out but I did about 5 minutes after posting this. lol For those of you who are interested, it was Tales of Zesteria.
Sounds like a dream I had one night after drinking Arrogant Bastard and eating a bunch of pizza.
It would take me forever to realize.
Ok solved. Thread closed.
There is a dedicated game thread as well. :good:
