Float On remix

And we'll all float on...
The following video is a short I made for one of classes at UNT (Film Styles). I had a blast making it! On two separate occasions we filled my apartment with balloon's, and when I say filled, I mean it. For at least a week after each incident we had to learn to live with the balloons. There were times in which I would have to push them out from under my sheets, or out of the shower. Every time that I left the house a few seemed to want to follow along. In the movie Rhett is attacked and killed by balloons, while in reality I almost suffered the same fate. I'm alive now and have been ballon free for a few years now. Haha. I originally got the idea for this movie from the Don Hertzfeldt cartoon, "Billy's Balloon." I put my own spin on the idea when I shot "Float On." I am a big fan of Modest Mouse and their songs as well as the thought of killer balloons. I originally wanted to shoot it as a clown being chased by balloon animals, but I believe this version is alot sweeter...

In this version of the video I edited out everyone's hand that threw balloons in through the window as well as from behind the stove. There are a few other things that I added to this version. Namely a shorter beginning as well as the balloon picking up the knife and stabbing Rhett. I mastered the audio as well. All and all I'm very proud of this version. This video has been shown at the Angelika theater in downtown Dallas, in a short film festival. When I first made it I didn't have the skills to remove the hands. But now that I do, it only took me a few hours...
