Our Story In 2 Minutes

[CaliforniaPeggy]

Made by a high school student. Extremely worthwhile! It goes by fast, so keep your eyes open.

1. I have no sound on my computer thanks to my speakers...

but I watched it . Pretty cool

Is there sound? Because if there is, I'll check back tomorrow when I can hear it lol!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. There is sound, my dear cwydro!

I don't recognize the music, but it's quite dramatic, and really adds to the video.

Do watch it with sound! It's amazing.

5. Zach Hemsey

Composed the music. He is know for creating "trailer" music. You know that exciting music you hear at the theatre building to a climatic ending, usually based on the music of the film.
It seem as if I have hear it before but can't recall the movie it goes to.

6. Ny computer is ancient...

I have to do something about this lol...but no way to get a new one anytime soon...I'm always watching videos without sound. Romney is hilarious that way...and actually Obama is too. Mayhaps I should keep the sound off!

15. It was used in the Inception trailers, for one.

However, Hans Zimmer did the score for that movie, so I don't think this piece is actually from the soundtrack.

Oh, wait -- here's something from the related Wikipedia article: "The trailers for the film feature specially composed music by Zack Hemsey, which does not appear on the official soundtrack."

Another note, from the Wikipedia article on the film itself:

"The official trailer released on May 10, 2010 through Mind Game was extremely well received.[81] It featured an original piece of music, "Mind Heist", by marketing composer Zack Hemsey, rather than music from the score."

20. Thanks for the links and all that info!

The music is amazing...

21. The sound goes something like "dum DUM DUM Dum dum DUM DUM Dum dum DUM DUM Dum dum DUM DUM Dum dum"

Repeated continuously.

25. more like de-de-dehde, de-de-dehde, de-de-dehde .... (BOOM) de-de-dehde, de-de-dehde

although I found the story to be kinda dumb. Vietnam, for example, and heck, even WWII and the civil war get less time than 911. It is only "OUR story" if that story is written by a member of the M$M or a high school student with a "last decade" sense of history. But I also like to be able to read a story rather than just write an animation on the upper right corner and then quickly flip through the pages.

26. It completely skipped pre-Cambrian life, and the Ordovician "Snowball Earth"

[Beartracks]

27. Just rewatched. WWII got quite a bit of time.

More than 9/11, I thought... unless you include the whole "War on Terror" sequence as belonging to "9/11."

=============

[hfojvt]

28. it did, but I thought not by much

but I only saw it once. THe thing is that WWII lasted, what 6 years from 1939 to 1945 and killed something like 50 million people. 911 lasted one day and killed about 3,000 people. Yet WWII only got about 8 seconds to 5 seconds for 911. Now the Bush administration and the M$M hyped 911 like it was bigger than WWII, but from where I sit 50,000,000 >>>>>> 3,000.

Maybe that is my old-fashioned math.

3. Cool...but I must have missed the world ending part.

Is this purgatory? Dear God, if DU is the afterlife, I must be in hell.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. You are too funny, my dear Drunken Irishman!

DU isn't hell for me, lol!

[SoutherDem]

7. Impressive for a high school student

They got the evolutionary chain slightly wrong but it was a great video.

I wished it was a little longer.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I agree: quite impressive.

I too wish it were longer........and a tiny bit slower!

9. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Zorra]

9. I like it.

I think it is very well done, very creative.

[lob1]

9. It's very good, but it just screams for a few shots of Lindsey Lohan.

17. Excellent. Thanks for posting.

[Phhhtttt]

18. Wonderful!

[proud2BlibKansan]

19. I think I just broke several laws watching that here in Kansas

Seriously, that was excellent!

[HopeHoops]

22. Wow. The ending was a bit harsh, but probably accurate. Nice musical selection.

[malaise]

23. Wonderful

24. All of a sudden I feel like Leeloo,

from The Fifth Element.

[ManyShadesOf]

29. so Obama is the AntiChrist?

what was that blur at the end there? This was great but jumped from Obama to oil to the big galaxies at the beginning so ................................. Best short attention span theater ever. Was there a point?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. I don't know how you got Obama as the AntiChrist!

He certainly is NOT.

It does go by very quickly. I have no idea what the blur at the end might be...

The point was to show our history......

[ManyShadesOf]

32. the end of history

as we know it. Back to a Big Bang ... maybe the student didn't expect us to look for a connection, just an end. Really well done. Thank you.

[MrMickeysMom]

30. Wow, Peggy...

There's not as much recognition, it seems when short films like these are made for EDITING, which this film achieves with excellence!

It sure moves like a symphony!

[Egalitarian Thug]

33. K&R. Very cool. n/t

[polly7]

34. Wow, and kick. nt.
