The problem of it all is, and I'm sure it's somewhat the truth, the vastness of YouTube made young teenagers (and countless others, I'm sure) think that it was okay to talk shitt to others making videos and commenting on them; because there are simply so many users and so many thousands (if not millions) of videos that people aren't
bound to write them back, let alone care.
The problem is, when you transplant that attitude (albeit a horrible and selfish attitude to begin with) to a place like FXHome, where we've got maybe a couple
hundred of regulars who really do care and share their time and critique and help, etc.- the negativity of this kind stuff is multiplied like nobody's business.
Good call Atom.
I've been into playing musical instruments and art, drawing and painting since I was four thanks to my dad so I know how to handle any kind of critisism, so uh yeah, I was really baffled by his attitude and comments... calling folks names? Wow dude really?!
I didn't think there were still people like that around.
And the thing is, all of you guys were trying to do nothing but help him get better.
In the end he realized his "error" and said he was sorry.
Hey, it takes a lot of character for a 13 year old to apologize.
nerfgunnerz3,
just realize that everyone is here to help each other out the best that they can. I've learned a crap load ranging from the youngest members to the older and more seasoned members on this site and I'm that much more the better for it, as in learning to be a filmmaker as well as just being a better person in general.
The last time I felt this kind of kinship with anyone was when I was a kid and I used to skate and surf. I used to miss it but not so much anymore, not since I joined the FX home community.
If you put all the folks on this site together you'll get years and years worth of knowledge and experiance as well as a helping hand so sit back and relax, then prepare to learn a great deal because these guys really, really, I'm talking about really know what they're doing.
Here's some advice that a buddy of mine gave me years ago.
You can't get sugar from sh%t.
As in sugar is "help". No one will be willing to help you if you treat them like crap.
Okay now I'm ready to watch your video.

nerfgunnerz3,
you just have to work harder next time. it should take you more then 3 or 4 minutes to make a short film.
Also, have some real dialogue with maybe more then one shot just to make it look more real and appeal to the other members on this site.
If you are 13, then keep working hard, because you have the basics down on the whole greenscreen thing, you just need to polish it up
