I tried to make a short film. It was harder than I thought.
There was a film festival at the International Jugglers' Association convention this year! The entries had to be at least 5 minutes long, and be focused around juggling (but it couldn't just be a juggling montage).
Check out my final short film and all my insights on why it was so hard! Keep watching until the end for some bloopers!

The magician line *shots fired*

@@TaylorTries Uh -- maybe a mouthsounds video? 'pew pew pewwww' is weak sauce.
Hi josh and taylor
"Oh hey, good luck with the balls"
"Good luck with Netflix"
I can't 🤣🤣
Okay, so I know a lot of people who watch this might not be jugglers, and I know there's a lot of inside jokes in the short film. So here are some helpful explanations so you can be in on the jokes too:
1. The "numbers stuff" refers to Siteswap. Siteswap is a numbered notation given to juggling patterns. It's very math-y, and every trick has a number associated with it. Basically, it's how we describe what we're doing! Common examples include 531, 7441, and 645. A juggler can read those and totally know what those patterns should look like!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siteswap
2. "It's not like I'm a magician" - Some jugglers have a funny attitude towards magicians. It's sort of a silly joke rivalry. I have a lot of magician friends and love them all, this is just a joke. I swear.
3. "Some muddy field in Europe, or Indiana" - this refers to two big juggling festivals that happen every year: The IJA (happened in Indiana this year) and the European Juggling Convention (happens in a muddy field in Europe every year)
Not understanding the numbers thing helped me relate to the boyfriend.
How is a santa museum better than a fest of juggling? 😦😂
Great film. More please 😀
"It's not like I'm a... magician" - Funniest line ever! And the sweet look on your face as you delivered the BURN!
Hahaha 😂
Maybe the acting wasn't 100% but the writing was really funny and worked really well. Totally deserved to win! But kinda wished there was juggling in the video?
YES, make more! Seems you had a lot of fun, plus without a huge deadline should be less stressful. Sounds like a win-win!
I just now saw your short film (from 3 years ago) for the juggling festival-and really enjoyed it and the out takes. Please, please do more-you are a natural and the guy was really great. I am a 75 year old, rank amature juggler, married for 54 years and the film really hit home for me and my non juggling wife.
This was hilarious! Yes, more please!
It was light-hearted and fun! I love your work and would totally enjoy watching more of your films anytime. 😊
That was sooooo good! So creative , well acted, and entertaining. You're very talented beyond juggling.
Great video!! Cant wait to see the full product one day!
Really great job Taylor! it's been a while since I've been to a festival but those jokes take me back! Keep up the good work!
Absolutely you should consider doing more. It was terrific for a first attempt and you won. But more important it was entertaining and you learned some important lessons in film making. Standing ovation!
Wow -- so professionally done!!
Honestly I really just want some more tutorials. Your weave tutorial was so good. The clear explanation combined with the slow motion video is just what I need for learning new tricks
Amazing!! more please
Those characters seemed so real.
I would have loved to see more of their daily life's
Breaking glas, Netflix and juggling and his mean friends. But that would have been to much organization for such a short project. Well and like this you don't know who is right or wrong.
Tanks Taylor for giving us this treat
Love your short film! Patiently waiting for the Director's Cut.
Wonderful! I hope you do film the entire script at some point.
This reminds me of the "Daring Date" video from a few years back. Keep up the good work!
Loved the tone. It hung between comical and bittersweet. Great first effort.
Something new needs to be practiced many times! Encouragement, you have done very difficult things and you did it well. I'm sure you can with this! I love you!
I like the Uncle bit. Good job :D
That was a great short. You should definitely do more. As someone who can only juggle 3 balls (badly), I have a lot of respect for people who juggle. Keep up the great work!
awesome video and short film. right in the 'my identity as a juggler' feels
That's awesome. I was cracking up the whole time.
Awesome and informative film! Have a great weekend.
Well received. Congrats on winning the contest you didn’t know you entered!
This was good! And yes, I believe you should do more and not let the bad experience let you down that easily.
That aperture tho XD Haha, looking forward to MORE! ;)
Your multi talented Taylor, do more. 😉
😂that was really funny! There is so much truth to those jokes😂
I got a chuckle from it... actually enjoyed it!!!
It was so fun being a part of this! Great work Taylor. Let's do more!
Hahahahaha I thought it was very funny!! 😂 also, the fact that you’re in the editorial department for Supergirl makes you 1000 times cooler!!! It’s My favourite show :D
Really liked it. I wanna see the sequel!!! :)
Congrats on the victory!
100% 5 star review so funny 🤣🤣🤣
Loved it! Make more!
The twirling your phone - THAT'S a juggler, alright.
I have been twirling and flipping phones and tv remotes for over 20 years and still do. It started because i used to skateboard and tried to replicate the tricks. Never thought of it as a juggling thing even though I juggle.
That was great I laughed so much!
In really like the original ending. I think a more humorous end fits better with the film and your style as in your other videos. Great film altogether!
Only the poor guy knew a woman like that comes once in a lifetime. ❤️
Hahaha, that was hilarious Taylor, i really liked the short. Congratulations!!!... Greetings.😂❤️💛💚🌟
Haha nice profile Picture😅
Why did you double happy face the helicopter? You should've flipped the bir... Ohhh.... Now I get it! 😂
It was a cool short film with a little humor and little ridiculousness in it. I enjoyed it and it made me happy. What I especially like is your laid off approach even when faced against adverse circumstances. Keep the short films coming. I'm sure you'll become as good as you are a juggler in no time!
Pd. I really like your smile. 😊
Loved it! More, please! (At least you're not a magician. HA!)
Haha, fun. Sure, it's a little bit cheesy in parts, but it was quite enjoyable... I'd love to see more filmic content from you, if you have more and/or make more in the future. :)
Hahaha. I thought it was really funny Taylor. You did amazing. And. You tried something new. Which is my favorite thing to do. Bc....it’s hard. But you know. You get there. Anyway. Good luck with your balls and stuff :)
That was awesome
"I love you!... Not you."
That was a truly great film! I am impressed!
And about the jugglers versus magician thing: Here in Germany people are really kinda serious about it! At one conventetion we had a magician for the gala show who was the guy who won the european magician championship. That guy was really good! But still many people booed at him. Those guys werent joking. I asked some of them later. They really dont like magicians at all.
Funny! And you won yeah! Make more!
My first short screenplay won and I freaked out. What if my next one isn’t as good etc? It was better actually, it just never got made. (Rats!)
Keep it up!
Definitely make another if you got ideas! Ever thought about a video collaboration?
Of course the acting is not perfect, but your writing and dialogue is really funny. You did well :)
What you could do is some documentaries in the world of juggling and festivals ^^ and what juggling mean to people, like why they do it. And what does it mean to you :)
Awesome
I have re-edited so many comments on your juggling videos, just to avoid an unintentional ball handling joke.
Fun film! Maybe after you walk away angrily at the end some breaking glass sound?
No Makeuo?!?!? Loved it!
I think it's great.
I've actually been to Santa Claus Land. That made me laugh.
Yes make more short films
I love this
They're clubs!!!!!!!!! 😂
I can see you want it ;D you should! Definitely :)
they're called clubs ! very funny
Ok let's just stop speaking and start clapping 👏 already guys. Look it's her first short film and she made it perfect. Like i would give 9/10 just like that right away. Man.. Never knew you could act too( i was just being nice, you're good. You could be better), but the film is good. It's small, compact like a perfect breakfast to start this(your career in short films and our journey seeing the actress and artist in you). This was great. And for starters it is perfect 👌
Fun!
Was the lens broken in juggling accident too? Very funny film, congratulations!
I would love to see more of these!
Ha! Even I'm not dumb enough to juggle a $2,000 lens! No sadly it was just me being clumsy and tired, I knocked it off a table! Luckily I was able to get it fixed at no cost. :)
you should def do more shortfilms. I just would have liked a better ending.
HAHAHA! I have had this same conversation with an ex. Props win over relationships every time! Keep killin it, really love seeing your videos. Inspires me to do better with mine.
Keep it up 😀😀😀😀
It wasn't the cleanest dialogue but I think it's amazing for your first try. The channel is called Taylor Tries, you can try at whatever you want and it'll be satisfying watching you improve. Would love to see more!
I love it!!!...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beyond juggler u r actress too.but atleast u should hug.good and calm acting.
You should make more films
That was very good! Great transitions, great camera angles, and lighting. Since you're now single, let me get you on the rebound... *ahem* Supp :)
dibbs, you didn't call dibbs so you lose, sorry
Roses are red
This juggler is funny
She works on movies
So I'll marry her for the money
Your an ACTOR? Thats sick
It's was fun. You can do a serie, Taylor Tries: a juggler's life
Narrative work is insanely hard. Even more-so when you have to act in it and can't really focus on the production side 100%. I definitely want to make more narrative stuff but I definitely need to plan and have a full crew cause I'd have more mental breakdowns than you if I tried to do it with such a small crew AND act in it. XD That being said, it was a great first try! With more time I think you'd kill it.
I have no doubt you'd make something epic! Looking forward to seeing your narrative stuff someday!
Dear Taylor,
I liked it! For your first attempt, this movie was pretty good. The bloopers were cool, too. Keep trying!P.S. Was that dude really your boyfriend? Anyway, keep up the good work.👍
I laughed out loud several times.
For a first time and you not being an actress , it was nice ... and honestly I can picture you as a movie star....
D'aww shucks. :)
I wish I could go to a Santa museum
Yea make more vids!
Did they only do the film festival the one time? I don't see anything about it on the 2023 festival site. I want to enter a juggling film festival!
Fyi... Juggling is so chill that you can do it with your eyes closed 😁
Well done taylor first time and good luck for next time can you juggle my tennis racquets ?
Taylor, you deserve better than that guy 😂
Nice viddy
Very cute 😍👍
hahahahaha! hilarious.
Subtítulos en español plz
4/5 stars!
Was the first line going to be "Yeah, your friends are jerks" or something else entirely from the lost screenplay? 🤔
Whaaaaat tries isn't your last name?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Jk 😛 love this you are super adorable and I'll be waiting for the next one 😁
My honest comment : if this was a real event, i would kick the man ass for breaking up with you. Man, humorous girl nowdays are hard to find, kekekekeke
My nice comment : this is hilarious, a good one for real. Well because usually i saw your jugling videos but without you ever talk. So this is a nice one.
There you go hehe
Funny!
Juggling at his uncle's funeral! haha that's a side-splitter (Not a juggling term).
Hilarious
Are you an actor??
Club passing tutorial? there's legit only 1 tutorial on youtube but it doesnt go that into detail
Saying that she's worked in movies the last couple of years . Is that true?
Yeah I’ve worked as an Assistant Editor on movies and TV shows over the past 6 years in LA. I worked on New Girl, Bright, Supergirl, Limitless, and more :P
