A PASSION FOR FILMMAKING

http://scottspears.net/video/passion.mpg

This is the best 60 seconds I've seen in a long while. Shot 16mm by Scott Spears, and written/directed by John Whitney. The film answers the question "what does a director do in their spare time?"

Lol =D>

Not this director but yeah I can see it. :) Good job scott and crew.

Funny stuff.

I liked the "Coreys" reference.

HAHA!!! I liked this. The last shot was hilarious..."you're solid!"...Ooooh...good stuff...

John WHitney is DA BOMB. He is very witty, and Scott's camera work is ALWAYS the whip.

I'd really like to take a look at the porkys script! Great short film, funny to the point and not too long.

Derek Rimelspach

Funny!

you know... I've always wanted to do that to a 50 year old hunk of statue ;)

radical film!

I think the conviction of the actor is what makes this poignant.

True.

That's the key for any kind of work like this (mockumentary, parody, satire).

Exactly. A lesson in actor conviction. For the first 10 seconds, I'm wondering what exactly this is about, and then witnessing his conviction throughout the rest, especially the scene where he is behind the guy walking across the street, I realize this is real and this guy really is having fun in his spare time like this (fun or demented, you choose). Also, I really like ending the piece with him solo with the statue, kind of a closing shot that says this guy is really serious about this and doing it.

Just got around to seeing this. Very funny and yes that is kinda what us directors do sometimes. Opps... :oops: did I just say that outloud?
Very nice job guys! Very witty script. =D>

I know my girlfriend is sick of me bringing the bullhorn out on dates so I can tell her how to react.

Is it me or does the actor look like Stephan Soderberg(SP?)? It really worked for me,too funny, and familiar.

I thought it was for a while since I've never seen him without his glasses.

This also reminded me of the Tom Green Show.

I didn't think about it when I watched it, but now that you mention it... YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT!! hahahaha...

Great concept...a funny bone tickler...

Does John Whitney have a website?
