Cool 2G TL video thread

My friend is a Director in the BFA program here at The University of Central Florida. I personally think he is one of the best "student directors" I've seen. Anyways, a couple months ago we filmed this short titled "What Comes Around". A scene in this film involves a quick shot of my car, it sounds really great when picked up with a $2,000 microphone. I was the boom operator, so it was fun listening to my own car.

Please watch the film if you have 12 minutes, it's not amateur by any means.

any comments are appreciated, thanks AcuraZine community for your support.

also, here is the link to the newest video called "The Drifter" featuring some awesome car chase scenes.

Wow, that was a fantastic short. I'm sure your buddy already knows, but his directing skills are excellent for someone his age.
I like the plot idea as well, nicely thought out.
And of course your TL does sound pretty great and looks slick as well

WOW! thanks for all the great comments guys, I wish the film was longer, but unfortunately longer does not always equal better. I know everyone here has seen a movie and thought it could have been 30 minutes shorter. lol

you should do a continuation of the dad like trying to run away in the tl, and have police chasing him and then he gets caught

it would be cool to see a chase with your tl in it

If you only knew...it takes ALOT of hard work to get noticed. It's like trying to get into the NFL without going to College.

There's nothing to be finished. I'm not gonna write the spoiler here for people who have yet to watch it, but if it was finished it wouldn't be as impressive.

well after he outruns the cops he should stop at a gas station and then get caught, because he is a murderer
