A favor from the board...OT

[Max Power]

Hey everyone, I know we've had guys show work they've done on here for the opinion of the board, feedback and everything. I was wondering if I could get the same. If you guys would kindly take 20 minutes and view a short documentary I filmed, it's for a good cause and spreading the word on an important subject. It's split into two 10 minute videos. The links are below....

That was really good Max. I've ticked the box on my license to be an organ donor, but never really thought about it that much until now. I just thought it was the right thing to do given the fact that I won't need them if I pass. I didn't realize that there was as much celebration surrounding it though, organ games and conventions even, very informative. I also liked your use of the cut aways as people were talking, and the change up with the music throughout, nicely done.

Thanks Spinedoc, I appreciate you taking the time to watch it. Guess you were the only one. It's not worth watching unless it's a rap video if you're on this board it seems.

I'm going to give it a watch, just had a busy weekend (long weekend). Lookin forward to watching it.

Your title was asking for a "favor" and now you are pissed that the same people who you asked that favor for had not been helping you as much as you hoped? I don't care whether you are talented or not, you won't go far with this attitude. You are close t nothing and you are trying to become close to something, that is why you are essentially advertising your production on a basketball board. You don't get to be disrespectful.

I did not think there was enough explanation of the video for me to watch, until I reached to the title "transplanted life". Then I could only guess "the good cause". For all I know, supporting door to door Jesus merchants could a good cause for you. Even after reading the title, it still could be arguing against stem cell research. Who knows at this point...

There you go, now you know my reason for not seeing it.

Why don't you lighten up there Francis? Your the one with the attitude. Not only are you not going to contribute anything constructive, but come back and dump on the guy for his disappointment for the lack of contribution by the board. Classy.

That's a bit unnecessary and immature don't ya think?




I liked it Max, good work.

[Reverse_Angle]

so you guys think it is OK to insult the whole board as "rap video watching uneducated people" for not commenting on his video?

You got a point there, didn't really see that.

[Max Power]

You know what, I'll admit the rap video comment was unnecessary. I do apologize, Reverse Angle your right about that, please understand that my response was emotional based on my passion for the cause. I'm anxious to give back to the cause. DRiguez I appreciate the defense but he's right. I would still appreciate feedback if your so inclined, both from a filmmaker standpoint and subject matter.

I took some time away from B.E.T. and watched the videos. I felt a certain connection since I actually had to go through the preliminary steps a few years ago to get on the heart transplant list.

It's good to see that the guy was actually able to get somewhere with Florida Hospital. I know when I was going through my troubles, every hospital in Florida were clueless on how to cure me. In my research, it seemed like hospitals in FL were near the bottom in the country (just like our public schools)

Leave it to the innovations in the bustling metropolis of Cleveland and the Cleveland Clinic to fix me up right.

Good job, good effort on the video

I look forward to seeing your video sometime tonight. But, you shouldn't expect sympathy or an all positive reaction to any post on a internet forum regardless of good intentions. What happens is that you encounter people that got negative or no feedback on videos they had put up in the past.

Great video. I would recommend that you place a youtube annotation towards the end of part one, which directs them to part 2 of the video. Something like "continue to part 2".
