It's probably just me drawing undue comparisons, but Morte's mask looks rather like the "Melkotian" prop used in Star Trek's "Spectre of the Gun", only without the vividly colored gels illuminating it.
What a fun episode, William! Something for everyone: Easter-eggs, breaking the fourth wall, terror, the van over the seat stunt (that probably made for a headache and backache), Adele in the MIT yearbook, humor, and Penny's cheesy (but classic) comics! I appreciated the nod to the door in the Wishing machine crash scene that has something behind the door, then it doesn't. And that wonderful radio looks like it was built to survive a nuclear war (probably because it was). I wish I could go to Walmart and still buy someting that nice.
Thanks, I throw in a lot of my favorite ideas and things that inspire me. I always loved the Wishing machine derelict in Lost in Space and and wanted to build a section of it. I thought the yearbook with Adele was a good way to connect the two other episodes with Adele in it, the older Adele in What the Cat Dragged In, and the 1967 Adele in The Cat Came Back.
Thanks, of course it's a parody of the Twilight Zone episode, The Hitchhiker, but I had to have an additional twist or that would have been the end of the series.
It won't be too much longer. It's showing at one film festival tomorrow and then at two others over the next two weeks, so at the end of the month it will be public.
1:50 There it is. Matt Parker actually walked through that door! Damn, seeing the tv tube replacement box. Always having to open the back and find the likely culprit and run down and test it. Then hope the store had that one in stock. Helluva memory there.
The spaceship is the one permanent standing set for the series, the other sets are always changed out, even the TV shop was dressed just for that episode, since that building was used as other sets. It was earlier used as a Post Office. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rIbx92cyYSc.html
So there's Lost in Space and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea with the ship design being a mash between the Jupiter 2 and the Seaview, not to mention the landscape being very Lost in Space. Flash Gordon serials with the credits and even the music during that portion. A bit of Batman with the dutch angle of the "villain." Some Good, Bad, and Ugly with the standoff. And Forbidden Planet with the energy monster.
i wish i could get a set like the first couple scenes, but i am only 7 and have no money to build a set and i am shy, but i will try to make a movie with actors when im not shy.
I started making movies with my cat since I didn't think I could get actors. Only after I did that, did I get other actors wanting to help out with my movies. Also it doesn't take big sets either, just film what's around you and what you know about. A little creativity goes a long way to making a good filmmaker.
It was great seeing you there too. I'm fine, still making movies. This is a video that I took at the Trona Pinnacles. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jWjIV2wNdQg.html
Man! That transition from the star to the movie theater was magical!! I love how you can tell a great story, with ending, fun, engaging, so much better than most shorts on Omeleto or Dust which most of the time are just time wasters. I've been watching lots of shorts lately and, yeah, some are great, but most... Meh. On the other hand, yours? I watched your latest two and I'm not short of amazed! I loved this! I came from the StandUp Maths video and I feel like I have found a gem! Ps: I love the stunt-stuffed cat ROFLMAO! PLAYING CARDS!! AWESOME!!! I can see so much love going into these shorts! 🧡🧡🧡 Thanks for making this world a better one, one short at a time! 💜 I subscribed from the instant I saw your cat-on-a-rocket logo 😸 Ps2: you should add subtitles so I can share it with my friends (they all speak argentinian spanish), auto translation does a good job and I can compensate when it fails. You'd just need to correct the autogenerated ones a bit and then anyone around the globe can use auto translation from those 🤗 or the entire galaxy, for that matter 😄
Thanks so much, it's comments like yours that make me enjoy making new episodes even more than I already do, which is just for the fun of it. I really make the episodes for myself since I'd like to see something like this, and if others enjoy it too, that's a bonus. I was able to do the star transition without any special effects, which sometimes is just as effective. There's a limit to what I can get my real cats to do, so I built the animatronic one, even if it isn't very realistic. I just have a micro budget so I try to make the most of what I have. In fact I didn't think I'd be able to get other actors to be in it, so the series started out to be centered just around Will and his cat.
@@williamhedges1519 It serves 2 purposes: having the cat "performing" every scene needed and avoiding haters shouting "animal abuse" at the motorcycle chase on "The cat that came back" 😋 I certainly loved that transition, like, everything fell into place! It was THAT good! And a great story too! 😀 Thanks again for sharing these gems!
@@Ktulu789 The cats are my family too, so I'd never put them in danger. I tried training them to do some tricks, but the most I can get them to do is raise their paw and wave. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ldomOtrpGNg.html
i didnt know i was on the spectrum until i was 50. if i could go back i dont really know what id do different. probably just dive deeper into everything nerdtacular.
Such a beautiful video! I don't have much of a point of reference for the art that inspired you as it was well before my time, but nonetheless I can feel the love radiating off your work. <3
