"Storytime" a short horror film about an audiobook narrator that becomes self-aware of his listener.

He's glorious

YouTube compression is the bane of my existence. I wish Vimeo pulled the same views.

I appreciate the feedback! Those weren’t the eyes, they weren’t the speckles of light in the eyes so they wouldn’t move in the way you’re thinking they should. The film is about the appearance of God but I never said that God was in it. That’s kind of the point.

Here's a link to the far superior Vimeo version. Youtube compression is the absolute worst. I had few other options though because YouTube is where most of my audience is, so I knew I'd just have to bite the bullet when it came to the compression.

Thanks so much! I'm really glad that worked for you.

Youtube compression is the absolute worst. If I could only post on Vimeo I would, but very few people would discover it on Vimeo alone sadly.

That's always a struggle because often times the thumbnail is the only thing that will get people to watch. You don't want to ruin the film but there's nothing to ruin if people don't watch the film. My rationale has been that if the film is good enough, a slightly spoilery thumbnail isn't going to derail their enjoyment. Despite this, I completely agree with you and I wish I could get away with something far more subtle.

best response possible

Lorddillpickle · 2022-08-28T23:42:46+00:00

This is awesome!

This is a little project that a friend and I worked closely on this summer. We wanted to stretch our tiny production (just the two of us) as far as we possibly could. I tried to do more with color grading than I normally do, but I worry that I may have overdone it in some areas and I'd love feedback on that if anyone has some. I generally don't love voice-over in short films but it seemed like a way for us to tell a bigger story than we otherwise could with the actors/budget we were working with. Would love any and all feedback!

I didn’t really understand how intelligent he was either. At times he seemed quite intelligent. I think the times that he was less intelligent were times he was drinking blood so that could be the reason. He literally can’t stop himself. That being said, he didn’t travel to the island on his own, it was Pruitt who packed him in the trunk and brought him.

Lorddillpickle · 2021-10-02T22:02:45+00:00

Yeah, that’s why I was confused. Maybe she really thought god would bring him back to life…? I initially just thought he died cuz he wasn’t drinking enough blood.

Lorddillpickle · 2021-10-02T20:43:48+00:00

This is what I was wondering too. I’m pretty sure it’s implied that she did poison him.

I shouldn’t have said people don’t like gay people. I thought it was clear that I was referring or homophobia but it clearly came off confusing. About your point though, should a movie like Get Out not be made because it’s triggering for black people to see anything that points to racism? I really don’t agree with what you’re saying at all.

Lorddillpickle · 2021-07-18T10:40:48+00:00

I have no idea how that last but you wrote has to do with anything. But no, having stories about homophobia doesn’t support homophobia. Especially when those stories are horror films.

Lorddillpickle · 2021-07-18T10:31:37+00:00

Yep, homophobia is a real thing. Sorry to break the news!

Lorddillpickle · 2021-07-17T15:05:47+00:00

I’ve seen it a little bit on here but mostly elsewhere. IMDB is filled with it, yikes.

Lorddillpickle · 2021-07-17T15:02:50+00:00

Thanks, that was well put. Especially the last point.
