Here's a short film I shot while on vacation. I'm new to Indietalk so hopefully everything will work out fine.

Ha Ha, that was funny, but why did you stay on that first shot so long. :lol:

I wanted to exaggerate the hike, build up anticipation for the punchline...get you thinking, "what is going on? why am I watching this guy hike this rim? Is something going to happen?" Get the viewer inside his/her head, so the joke has a better effect. It is possible I stayed too long on that shot, and maybe I could cut it down, I don't know...
But thanks for the reply, glad you enjoyed it.

Funny setup, funny gag... I think both halves could have been shorter, though. :)
I never saw that gag coming, btw. Nice execution. Just needed to be a bit more concise.

I thought the opening static shot was great. I was getting ready for a serious drama, but then the punchline really paid off! I do however think the joke was bit too long (what did that dude drink???), but it didn't take away from the initial feeling of funniness.

Gave me a chuckle.
Im sure there was some sort of creative purpose to this whole film.
Made me laugh anyways.

I think that was part of the humor... him pissing for 90 seconds off of a mile high cliff.
Ooopss.. did I give it away?
My bad. :P

I think watching this for a third time just made it funnier.
My friend had to wipe a tear from his eye.. big buildup then
anyways, funnys hit. I wish it could go farther.. Maybe someone at the bottom of the canyon. ;)

King Goldfish....
Glad to hear someone likes the film as much as me. I've watched it a hundred times and I still think the thing is pretty funny...my brother drank tons of water, and it came out in three installments...which I think made it more funny. It's 100% real...
Thanks for the feedback

So that's real? I thought that one of the problems was it looked to fake. Tell your bro he pees like a fake!
