Extra Credit Essay - Quiz 2

 

The short films Pfffirate and After You were two of my favorite short film we have watched in class so far, and because I already blogged about Pfffirate I’m going to do my extra credit blog on the short film After You. Going off what Keith Longo said in his blog The Fool’s Errand: "don’t make your film to impress industry types, make it to entertain audiences or at the very least make it to entertain yourself", it’s great to see both Pfffirate and After You created by people that didn’t have millions of dollars like Pixar or Disney and still have their audience be entertained as they watched the film. In After You, I was amazed to see how a short film could be just as entertaining as a Pixar or Disney short film by just including two characters and a door frame. Sure, After You might not have been a quality film like Pixar or Disney, but it was still a well done animated film. After You helps remind me that I might not be able to make the next greatest movie of all time, because I don’t have the amount of people or equipment that other movies from Hollywood have but I can still make a well done movie that is simple but entertaining for my audience and for me.
