This is a very smart and clever short film that is included in a DVD set entitled "Toofy Shorts: Volume 1"--a very nice collection of short films shown at Colorado's Toofy Film Festival. It's going to be a bit hard to describe the film, but I was really impressed by the film because of its style and because it was so darn original.A hip-hop guy with a portable turntable and mixer is shown setting up his equipment on the sidewalk. In front of him is a tragedy--some poor guy got hit by a car and is either dead or severely injured. Oddly, however, when the hip-hop guy turns on his equipment, it's a time machine of sorts. As he moves the turntable backwards, time reverses and when it goes forward, time goes forth. Using this equipment, he is actually able to reverse the accident AND even change the outcome. However, in a clever twist, repeatedly the outcome was also a tragedy and it took him quite a while to set things right.How all this is told without words and so effectively is beyond me. Very good job.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from the opening shot of the protagonist falling into frame, all the way to the end credits. This story is shot incredibly and told perfectly without one line being uttered from any of the actors. The direction proves to be very well done as the lead character is cast perfectly as a philanthropic DJ who is stuck with the ability to fix every mishap in the world with a spin of a record. He does so, but not without consequences that he also has to fix. The supporting players do a fine job as well. I think Winans shows his true genius in being able to write, direct and edit this entire project beautifully, not to mention the fact that he scored the film with his own music which is also fantastic! Great Job!
A mysterious man walks up to a public square and sees that a tragic accident has occurred. He gets out some turn tables, and with expert hands reverses the motion until he can see what happened, then proceeds to direct the action a different way with use of his sound-mixing skills. But in butterfly-effect ways, the results aren't always what he intended, and he has to mix and remix until he is satisfied with how everything works out.This movie is pretty good, mostly due to its choreography. Several people are made to move in very specific and repetitive ways, with variations to create different outcomes. As a work of directing, this work really shines, and the story is really humorous.I kind of like it because the spinner is a unique type of guardian angel... one who cares, but isn't omnipotent, and who eventually starts to get frustrated as he figures out how difficult it is to really work out all of these various causes-and-effects.--PolarisDiB
Recap: An unknown DJ sees the consequences after a recent accident. But just as with his records, this DJ has the power to rewind, and change what has happened. He sees that a dropped ball is the cause of the accident, and alters its path. So, the accident never happens. Mission accomplished. He packs his gear, turns to leave, but what happened to the ball...?Comments: A great short with nice humor about cause and effect in life. A really good story, a nice concept and in my opinion really well done. An inspiration.9/10
