The Tool Shirt
« on: January 13, 2011, 12:35:13 PM »
I have watched "The Tool Shirt" so many times now...
I think "The Tool Shirt" is becoming my metaphorical tool shirt.
Thank you Drennen!

I really truly can't believe I watched an entire short film on the internet.

But I really did and I really enjoyed it. Great job!

"Rammstein Sucks" really made me laugh.  The whole thing was great.

Just thought it'd be good to have the URL in the thread for folks who haven't had the chance to see it:
http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:hcx:content:atom.com:e2bd4d3f-f50d-4037-a513-3c6dca24a72c

EDIT: Huh, that's weird, it posted the video. Even better, I guess.

thanks for the support, gents (and ladies?)!  We really appreciate it, I really appreciate it!  FOTs are the best people around!

While this competition is running until sunday, we've been selected to participate in a slightly different contest that would put The Tool T-Shirt video on the www.atom.com homepage.  If you want to vote for it, you can do so here: http://apps.facebook.com/opinionpolls/index.php?pid=1294960809.

thanks again for watching!

I love you, too...L

I watched a game and had bar food with three random Hollywood writers last night.  Hats off to you, creative people!


Now I have to go and write business crap for my company's website.

This is in a competition? How do I help it compete?

I have impossibly high standards for comedy, and if it's an internet video then I basically start out bracing myself for it to be terrible, but The Tool Shirt is something special. So many highlights. So many obvious turns deftly avoided. Such a rare breed of sympathy for the lead character. Even the direction and the music are spot-on.

How long did it take to put together? Have you worked on anything else?

EDIT: Just listened to the part of the show about the video, now it all makes sense.

I think im going to try and work in the phrase "bust ass" to explain things more in my daily life now, also the tool shirt goes great with a man bag.
