Eternally grateful to Mr. Jude Law for his support of me + SKYWATCH. It truly makes no sense that this even happened.

you could also deepfake his face, wait for his lawyer then you know someone who knows him
Dude! THAT was FUNNY! I am laughing my ass off right now!
Your comment was at 69, but it was so good that I made it into 70
Did you know that everyone in the world is at most only 6 degrees of separation from everyone else
*takes off glasses* My god, that’s genius
exact same thought
Colin did you realized that you just knew Jude Law who directly knows a lot of famous actors?!!!
So true, and his film is on Jude Law's IMDB page
And now we know Colin, so now we can all get famous actors in our movies. We just need all the other steps to work, and I'm worried about the alternate universe one. It could have used more clarification.

Yesterday in Sydney (Casula store) petrol was 131 while most other nearby petrol stations were priced around 169. They always have the cheapest petrol, usually by 5-10 cents, I’ve well and truely made the membership fee back in savings from petrol alone.
I know, what A STUPID VIDEO
@@bobbobson110 Killing your alternate self can... "complicate" things. Much easier just to give them amnesia and send them back to your universe as a "fill in".
All emails to anyone named Jude should always start with "Hey Jude". Period.
Don't make it bad
Take a short film and make it better
i understood that reference.
Then we can restart to make it better? 🤔
As someone named Jude, please don't do that
For literally 10 seconds of Jude Law and less tha 10 words spoken by him, the process is just gigantic. Respect to this indie director
But it does open a lot of opportunities for future sequels.
I was literally expecting a "how to deep fake" video...
This shows how the "Corridor Digital" pathetic as they are, Keanu reeves never never contact them in anyway
I was kind of thinking this was just a deepfake with a guy that sounded a lot like Jude Law
@@CharlesLijt It's channel that bases its shorts on cgi. That's literally the point of the channel.
@@CharlesLijt And now, you're just being mean. Think, Keanu would approve of that?
@@CharlesLijt Keanu would be disappointed in you
I laughed when you started the email "Hey Jude," and then deleted it. That's the kind of thing I would have done.
Take an email, make a dude's day better. Remember, to act inside his film, then you begin, to cheer him better.
me too!
Hahaha
@@Ray-mw1fx thank you
Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song, and make it better
how depressing is the fact that the story of how he got the chance to direct Jude Law for an hour for his short film has more views than the short film itself that took him 6 years to make
Eh, that's just life as a creator. You have hundreds of projects you spent a week on, and a couple you spent years on. Of course one of the week-long projects is going to do better than anything else you make, it has the numbers advantage. You get used to it.
Because the CZcams algorithm for whatever reason picked this video to show everyone.
I've never heard of this channel or am particularly interested in short films (or movies in general) and still CZcams recommendations was like "you HAVE to watch this this is the most interesting thing ever!!" so I clicked on it, and judging by the comments, that's how almost everyone came to this video.
The actual short film this is about wasn't as lucky, and only people who are interested in short movies in the first place are gonna move onto the actual video from here, not everyone who got this in their recommended.
@@sleepysera On the flip side, maybe you are, just like I am, more interested in "behind the scenes" sort of content. I watch a lot videos about cinematography, film theory, that sort of stuff. But I don't actually watch many short films on CZcams at all.
CZcams actually showed me this video first. I didn't even know of the other video before afterwards. Strange how it works out with the youtube algorytm. TECH SUPPORT!
Rodrigo Santos It’s not depressing per se, but CZcams is one of the most difficult platforms for sharing actual films. People just don’t want to sit down and watch something for that long on CZcams.
I'm no Jude Law, but I'd love to help with your next project. Also, I have six years, so no rush.
WALTERRIFIC hi Walter
This dudes eyes are smiling the whole time.
I shat myself when I saw teeth in his eyes.
I had to hide his mouth to see this

One like is not enough for this comment
Tom Holland is my Aunty-in-law’s nephew
Time to get emailing
It’s funny if you want to invite him to the job, which is not connected to acting at all.
Victor Molina as a personal favour from me, tell him I very much enjoyed his Christmas classic ‘the impossible’
My boss is Tom Hollands second auntie.
Victor Molina I assumed as much, hence why I made the joke
AtomiK that means I’m related to your boss I guess...
Funny enough, this has more views than his short.
Because this video, unlike the short, HAS Jude Law in the preview.
The next video will be "How to get CZcams algorithm to notice your short film"
Celestial, wait for 10+ years.
To be fair, it's not a very good short. And this at least has some entertainment value :)
@@ChumpionTV ok that was rude. . . I'll watch it after watching this...and then come in the future to respond to your opinion of the Shortmovie.
Hey Colin, I heard you have a good friend who is married to the cousin of Jude Law's Wife? Any chance I can get him for my Short Film?
So what have you done to be a good friend to Colin?
hmmmmm?
lmao this whole video was great.
lmao, best comment
Very clever
Yo, I heard you once commented on a video of a dude who has a good friend who is married to the cousin of Jude Law's Wife? Any chance i can get him on my short film?

This is a real world application of the 'Six degrees of Kevin Bacon' game.
If it worked, he'd be busy every weekend being in everyone's shorts.
By shorts i mean films.
Notice he was the last name to fall away at 2:13? lol
@@alex0589 Well that was just the first part, after that you need to convince them
Alex D My first thought when I saw his approach.
Someone should make a movie with Kevin Bacon using this 6 degree method
how to get a world famous actor? the answer: get lucky while social media stalking
Kinda Sad, because the Answer is just ''Connections''
That's how it's done. It's how I've got a few things done in my career.
why is it sad I think it's amazing what you can get done if you make connections and utilize them properly. also if connections is sad what wouldn't be? What would you like the answer to be Money? Luck? Mind Control? Threat?
I think he also failed to mention that theory that anyone has at most a six-degree connection to Kevin Bacon, which would be something interesting to add, I guess.
Many answers in life are obvious and painful.
@@petitio_principii there was a small reference to it in the spreadsheet
"Deeply in debt to Jude Law" Your talent is oustanding and if this short film is anything to go by then you will one day soon be in a position to pay him back.
I'm thinking of the joy that Tim Burton had working with Christopher Lee as a young director / fan and how that actually revived Lee's career bringing him close to a whole new generation that learned to love him as well. Good will goes both ways, what you give you receive.
“Pick our a world famous actor, *there are a lot to choose from.”*

He is acting like he's in love with Jude and has a very important date.
I feel the same.
Are you suggesting that there are those who are not in love with Jude?
Fellow Citizen The only thing I'm suggesting is that Jude Law is my husband.
Jaspreet Digpal He's shy, that's probably why
@@the.hot.button Must be a different Jude Law; the actor is married to Phillipa Coan.
It's actually really weird, but everybody knows someone who knows someone who knows someone. The world is quite small.
Research has been done, there is only ever a maximum of 6 degrees of separation betweet 2 people. Meaning that scientifically, I know a guy, that knows a guy, that knows a guy, that knows a guy, that knows a guy, that knows you.

Bohdan Lvov He’s a wizard too, so he’s no mortal
lol I used to have a serious (first)celebrity crush on his character in that film when I was 11/12, and my mum had to make fun of me for "falling for a gigolo"
Hey Jude,
I've written a sad song, and thought you could make it better.
Hey Jude,
glad you wrote back. Take my short film and make it better.
To be honest, that short role Jude played was so perfect, and all that little details he successfully portrayed (emotion, speech, poise). No doubt he is an A-list actor!
I couldn't even get FRIENDS to act in my movies. It was crushing. Then I tried with 'real actors' of the short film circuit. Managed to get actors, locations, props--- all set to go, then an actor dropped out one week before filming was to begin. It's very rough when your passion relies on other people to function. I seem to get very close and everything just falls apart. EDIT: Thanks for all the support, it means a lot. :)
I can relate 😭😭😭
Do you live in the east coast? If so I might be able to work with you
Film school students a lot of the time will work for free.
@@queenmegawatis5486 but you had the high ground!
@Daleylife: yeah i can totally see why some people start with CGI movies instead or traditional animation. Because these actors will never disappoint you and drop out.
You quit Pixar to focus on a personal project? Holy shit that's some love
That's the same thing I said!
animation studios treat workers like shit
It's all in the comic timing, @@jeffk1482 ;)
@@allgodsnomasters2822 not Pixar though. Nearly everyone like Colin who leaves does so because they have personal aspirations and they loved being at Pixar so much they thought they might never leave if they didn’t soon
I subbed just to say ten yrs from now, "I subbed to a world famous directors channel when it was very small" God bless and good luck. You have the gift and the work ethic. Proceed
I like the fact that the "famous actor" bit wasn''t leverage to make your film, rather the icing on the cake - the film is strong enough to have had any decent actor deliver the line. I'm sure having a 90% finished produce goes a long way to enticing someone. BTW, your amazon/STNG replicator product was SO GOOD I thought I was watching an ad before for the film started. Plus your green-screen work was superb. The best special fx are the ones you don't realise are special fx.
The best news is, it would still have been good without the cameo.
Yup, but now it’s more legitimate.
Entertainment networking in a nutshell, know people, be ready.
"People who know me know I have no money..." - Flies to London, makes a passion project his full time project for six years. Still an awesome thing though. But if he has no money, I have many thousands of negative money.
Most of those six years, his full-time job was as a Layout Artist at Pixar. He only left the company in the final phase of completing the project.
I dont know how I get here, but after watching this video and your short film I just gotta say that you are that kind of person that I admire and respect. I salute you, my man!
When he said “I think I’m overthinking things”... I FELT THAT
Overthinking is like breathing. Comes naturally to me D:
This is low key a really well-shot and edited video
Your friend’s friends must have pretty good friends.
"Hey Jude"
I see what you did there
Better still "Hey Dude" Jude loves that
Personally, I think having the rest of the movie made and ready for him to see was a really big sell. Your movie rocks and I can see JL thinking "I want to be part of that".
bobmcdilen It was just a thought, why you getting worked up??
@@bobmcdilen Are you alright?
Getting a world famous actor to star in a community film made with Blender. This... this means something!
Yes!! so exciting!
It means that professional actors will get involved in amateur projects that aren't Star Trek, now that CBS axed the fan films.
@@JohnDlugosz What do you mean by that? Has CBS done something to limit production of Star Trek fan films? You can still find plenty of fan films online.
I spend 30 minutes trying to write an email to my teachers when I just have one question I don’t know how you managed this
Instant subscribe!! What a great video. So happy that you made it happen. Such an inspiration, and also 6 years to make the film? glad you finished it! now time to watch.
Colin Levy.
No doubt in my mind we'll be seeing that name on the credits of Hollywood productions in the future.
There's no need to be insulting.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace how the fuck was being insulting I told him he was good enough for Hollywood.
Go read a book and work on your comprehension.
NoJusticeNoPeace You really need to start reading texts properly and comprehending before making comments.
Whooosh.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace you being a dumbass isnt a woosh. nice try saving face.
The way you came up with a vision, made a plan and executed it is something every storyteller needs to see. Not just filmmakers, but entrepreneurs around the world. What you have done is nothing but sheer perseverance to get the goal done. Super job well done, you've got a subscriber for life.
man I've never seen a video from you but I am so happy for you, I could see how much work this film took to make, best wishes!
It was sweet and humble of Mr Law to accept the role. He did a good job in it. And this 'How To' vid is *great!* Thank you for sharing with us!
Jude didn't do you a favour. He was hedging his bets. Anyone can tell you're going to be major Hollywood director.
He’s playing the long game
@Mr. Holliday His film is really good, though
but he did do him a favour if we take your scenario so he can use it in the future? He can just come up and say hey boy you own me one.
@Mr. Holliday Jesus, way to take someone else's nice compliment and absolutely shit on it.
They both gained something, it's some degree of good publicity for him, after everyones massive burst of appreciation towards Keanu Reeves other celebs (the smart ones) might be trying to step up their game lol they don't become world famous loved celebs just by breathing air after all
it was a jaw dropping moment to see Jude on your short. it took the whole thing on another level.
The best news is, it would have been good without the cameo.
reminds me of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Low budget movie but still manage to get Jude Law. And Gwyneth Paltrow. And Angelina Jolie. Awesome sci fi too.
I like the touch that Kevin Bacon is the last name to fall off the spreadsheet
Oh god, that's why I love the world of independent films.
Making 10-minute movie for 6 years...
hooray...
Alternate approach: LIE. LIE TO EVERYONE ABOUT EVERYTHING!

Nooooooo!🤨
Literally 50% of how to get anything done in Hollywood, I suspect.
@@Sgt_Glory the other half of the battle is knowing.......GI Joe.
Worked pretty good for Quentin Tarantino
This whole skywatch journey always inspire me a lot ,when I loss hope , I watch your journey .You are my motivation.
Fantastic man... this might be the most unique video on youtube ... bravo ... and amazing not only to complete the film (which is fantastic by the way) but to share your experience like this.
Alternative method: Don't get to know anyone, or write any e-mails. Just write the role so you can use footage of them as you hide in their bushes. "Woah, this guy got shots of Will Smith, Sean Connery, and Ben Affleck! It's strange that they're all drone footage from really high up and their only lines are 'yeah, i'll have a mcBLT' " Then again, I've won multiple awards for my tasteful rear nude shots of Jamie Fox in a shower, which I digitally added scars and blood to be from the epic battle he was in (while wearing a full suit and helmet!).

"Ask."

Took you SIX YEARS just to make a short!?
NO WONDER I haven't made any shorts yet.
Well from what i can tell is he used a lot of special effects and had a small team working on it. Remember some small game devs take that long sometimes to make a game. Visual effects with a small team take fucking forever to do
Just buy shorts from the store
@@usernamesmatter LOL! That would be A LOT faster!
Clearly this guy's more than 6 degrees removed from Kevin Bacon.
But what's his Erdős number? We all know the Erdős-Bacon number is the only one that counts.
Amazing work, man! I'm actually about to watch your shortfilm now, as this video appeared recommended by YT.
Glad you got to make your film.
This is an amazing example on how following your passion gets you there... An inspiration for everyone, not only aspiring movie makers. You will be directing your first big budget feature film soon man, no doubts about that!
What if I have no friends and suck at social interactions? :(
Get a hot friend to do it for you.
deepfake
Then dont become a director u idiot.
@@shidoshihanzo9819 Wow, you must be a nice person to hang out with.
@@jan861 He should have said it more elegently than that but he is right, to make a film you need to have many connections and know a lot of people. So not to put you down, i would suggest that you pursue another medium of expression in which only talent is required like painting or writing for instance.
When I watched it, I didn't realize how good the CGI set pieces were. All of those environments totally fooled me. Amazing work on such a short film.
You worked on this for 6 years. You have bragging rights for life for all your hard work and patience, indeed.
It's great Jude agreed to do it because he was perfect for the part.
6 years, don't give up and then you give us a small ,fine peace of entertainment.
Great job Colin ! Remember your first work (with blender) years ago were looking very promising - and my thought's were right.
I think you had a really good crew around to do so - even talented actors !
Again, congrats to you and your team
Just watched your short film - loved it and hope for a sequel..... and kudos for enticing an ‘A’ list actor into a cameo at the end.
So the only step is: make friends with someone who knows someone who knows someone. Gotcha. Lol
Well done Colin. Absolutely amazing getting such a famous and great actor to appear in your movie. I was really impressed by your movie. Looking forward to the next one!
Or go onto the actor’s IMDb page, sign up for VIP membership and contact the agent.
Good for you for having the guts to make the most of this connection and not backing down from your goal. It is inspiring to see people chase their dreams and not give up.
Jude is an awesome actor and you are a great director. I am impressed by the amount of thoughts and hard work that you put in that short scene at the end. It is inspiring and your success proves you right. Keep up the good work and all the best!
Hugely entertaining and interesting! Here's the thing, though: What has Jude Law himself said about your film? Or no feedback yet?
Don't skip Step #5!!!
The fact he saw it and went for it meant he liked it. He’s not a starving actor needing to expand his reel, and actors of his caliber won’t risk being in a shit project with little to no pay. It’s not like he had a lot to do, but still.
Damn. Looks like Kevin Bacon was close. Lol
This is my first time watching any of your videos but I’m smiling so hard. Really happy for you and you’re clearly very talented! All the best to you!! 🙏🏾 new sub!
This is incredibly wholesome and amazing. Congratulations on your project and kudos to Jude for helping you complete it!
When Jude popped up, I wasn't too surprised... considering the polish of the work that preceded his appearance. :) Nice work and thanks for the little bonus(s).
This guy really reminds me of Olaf, or some other A-list actor...
Well, Colin, I'm so happy that your dream came true. And that you really accomplished a seemingly impossible task, by getting an actor like (Jude Law) in this amazing short movie. I appreciate the entire work you did for this movie, And even if it's a short movie, for now, I really, really hope that will become a big full movie. I really enjoyed it and like it a lot. The whole story is just amazing. for me at least. Thank you for creating this short movie for us, those who are in love with sci-fi-es.
Wow, love the production and concept of this video. Proud of you, man. Subscription earned!
Great job Colin! I hope you have a bright career in this, it fits you well! I loved the short film too. I really want to see a full featured continuation. It certainly deserves it!
Wow this was actually really cool. Love the editing and format and everything
Man, you definitely deserve that cause bro, what a filme (and doesn’t matter that it is short or anything)!!! I’m standing with basically everyone who have watched the short film: just keep waiting for the chance to see it full, in a theater or in a tv show, anyway that it come, in just wanna watch it full. Congrats.
I am supremely upset that I am JUST NOW seeing this mind blowing short FOUR MONTHS later! But, having watched the short and been absolutely blown away by it, and YES I mean that, I love this little video of this extremely talented artist completely fangirling over the fact that he no joke, honest-to-goodness got Jude-freaking-Law to appear in his short film. And it's so real because I'd be acting the same way, if not worse if anyone even remotely famous so much as breathed in my direction, let alone spoke to me. My only question now is... How soon do tickets for the full length feature go on sale? I want to make sure I reserve mine in advance.
Damn! Jude Law at the end gave me almost the Keanu in Cyberpunk level of surprise.
You seem like a genuine person, I can really appreciate your style and honesty. I also loved your movie, no need for the imposter syndrome, you are very very talented. Maybe you could send one of those personal videos to Netflix. I mean, you already have Jude Law on board right :p Lets make this a series! 10/10 would watch
Happy for you Colin!
May God bless you and your film career ❤
Tell you a secret: people enjoy it when you really like and respect them, especially to join a worthy project.
I'm sure Jude had a ball and would be proud to mention this short film as an accomplishment!
Oh that was one of the most inspiring, wonderful, special things I've seen on CZcams in a very long time. Well done man. Everything is impossible until someone does it.
Congratulations! This is very inspiring for me since I'm working on a short animation. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the continuation of SKYWATCH!!!
This was very charming. Thanks for sharing and congrats on the success of the short. I'd be happy to be in your next one.
Haha super awesome man. I'm happy for you. Looking forward to watch your next projects!!
Love this video. Thank you for using your great sense of humor and fun storytelling way to answer the question that we all had.
You’re awesome, so you get to work with awesome people.
He IS awesome :)
It seriously helps when the short in question is of this quality! Huge congratulations on a really well executed project - with or without Jude Law ;-)
If he can do it with no budget, anyone can if they put themselves into it. He’s clearly passionate, or else he wouldn’t last this long behind it. All the skills he used are available on CZcams, the only thing needed is enough drive.
So good. I had a moment sort of like this a few years back. I was able to get Judge Reinhold to do the VoiceOver of my short film. It was surreal directing him over the phone while he recorded in a studio in Arkansas.
Loved this! And congrats on a dream, followed through, till it’s fruition. I hope, myself one day...to do as you have here with this short. I’m not talking about doubling down on my dreams of making a movie, I mean in general. You’ve done what many never do...in a lifetime. I’m backing up this footage, one more time. A true inspiration. Thank you! And Mr. Jude Law! It’s 1000 x 1000 cool that you would do this humble act of kindness. Good stuff!
