But how can we buy his shirts when his website is just "Coming soon"?  :-\

I knew it was Sunshine right away when I heard her voice.  ;D

Margot looks good with long red hair.  ;)

I never realized Brad looked so much like Kurt Cobain. Well, except for the dead and moldy part.

Dude... that was good.
I take it Brad is an AnCap, now?  ;D

Russell Kanning

I liked it.
Man we only buried the constitution .... Brad killed it.

Hey everyone. I've been toying with the idea of creating animated short films for years and I've finally found both the tools and the time to actually create one.

It's called Reborn and is about one man's struggle with his realization of how power c­orru­p­ts an­d ­hi­s choi­c­e on­ ­h­ow to deal with it.

I think many of you on this board will appreciate it.


You can watch a streaming version at: http://www.ActiveMindStudios.com/Movies/Reborn/index.html


This is where I'm going to focus my activist energies long-term - fictionalized animated movies that focus on liberty and the individual.

I'd love to hear any constructive criticism you might have.

I hope you enjoy it. There are more to come.

If that's a first effort, I can't wait to see where you go with this.

It's very good, and each one you make will be better.

Good job!

Merged the two topics on this.  Tags got screwed up, though.

Thanks for the cool video, Brad!
You know you has us scared when the protagonist first fiddled with the gun... you story-spinners sure have a way to tug at the emotions.

My one request would be to include something, somehow, somewhere, about the FSP and/or New Hampshire as the place to go for hope and positive action ...

 8) Content is king... Nicely done. It appeals to emotion, powerful stuff.

I liked the "camera" moves. The foley/sound effects work is good.  :)

For future projects you should try a different microphone set up. Proximity effects, breaths etc could be eliminated with a mike on a stand. Cardioid mike a little further from the mouth will sound better. The "actors" should stand and kind of act out their parts to give a more dynamic reading.

Karma to you on your dramatic production... not to mention the hardwork and emotion that goes into a piece like this.

Bradley Keyes

Glad you guys liked it.

www.ActiveMindStudios.com is up and running. Margot's email got out before I had it ready. You can now buy all the shirts your heart desires!

I consider myself 'sliding towards anarchy', as is my main character. Where we each end up will be found out in the future.

That's coming soon. I needed to get the web site up and running first. In the next few days I'll be adding additional pages and banners addressing solutions and things people can do (FSP, Ron Paul, more general philosophy, etc)

Yep, that's the thing I'm most unhappy about with this movie. It was recorded on a pretty cheap Logitech headset. The next one will definitely be better.

I appreciate any suggestions or ideas on how I could improve, both technically or philosophically.

Thanks,

Brad

I loved it!

"All human interactions should be voluntary." is ingenious!!!

BTW, if you meant that phrase as a law... then it might e more powrrful if you put "must" instead of "should."
