Birthday Presents

Consecution short.
Highly inventive subversion of the dark classic, "Peeping Tom.".
I shall not go into the sleight of hand TM2YC employs, but he manages to change this unpleasant British Noir thriller into a ripe romantic interlude.
The future for this couple is hopeful, even if it is the intoxication of attraction and infatuation.
The editor has overlaid a new music soundtrack, a bit heavy handed, that muffles some of the dialogue.
Not a major complaint, though it is noticeable.
Thank you also for opening and closing titles. Many editors do not bother.
Credits help mark the difference between a fragment and a short.

I have still not seen Peeping Tom - I know, I know... Anyway, this short film makes me want to order the movie now!

Gazing through the window. Skulking about silently, avoiding conversation. Secret projector room featuring reels of explicit nudity. Stalker? Pervert? Serial killer? No, no, no. A far lower, more contemptible example of humanity: a fan editor.

But seriously, this is fantastic. Socially awkward, Mark longs for the emotions he can only experience vicariously through the magic of cinema. A beautiful little story, enhanced through the magnificent music of Ennio Morricone. Touching stuff, especially considering the source material!

This is a very enjoyable fanedit. I have no idea where the cuts are at all, so great job. I was fortunate to preview this a while back and I thought it played as off-kilter charming and I really enjoyed the dynamic. The tension was building and building up to him putting on the reel. I sought out the source 'Peeping Tom' and was absolutely shocked to find what the film is about. I thought it was excellent, and to carve out a romantic, pleasant short with that subject matter is wonderful. It's a good example of what fanediting can be. I really enjoyed rewatching it; great job. As a bonus, it's fun to see where the TM2YC intro comes from, as well.

Very sweet and charming fanedit.
I would have maybe added one or two shots a bit more "hot" in the old movies reels to had even more sexual tension between the characters who are watching. But maybe it would no have been as sweet and charming ;)
Thank you for your work.
