Once Upon Productions (Aragona57)
Добавлен 28 дек 2006
I went through a number of years of being bullied as a child. Years later I started doing voluntary work in schools and creatively sourced those dark memories to raise awareness of the negative aspects of bullying. In the process I uncovered some amazing young talent which has inspired more & more projects. Culminating in the movie onceuponalifemovie.com and many original songs.
We plan to shortly tour the movie around schools, integrating the pupils in the film for each school we go to. Please get in touch if you feel your school or establishment would be interested. onceuponabully@luca-design.co.uk

3d Video live performance of new song
Просмотров 434 года назад
The other week I posted up my first 3d video. I've refined it a little since then and tried out recording a live music performance and a few shenanigans at the end that demonstrate further the 3d effect. I repeat that there's No need for 3d glasses it works in a similar way to the Magic eye craze from the 80s (I think) but you see true life video not a computer generated image. When you see it ...

This is an experiment in no glasses required 3d video and will probably be taken down soon. to get the effect you need to overlap frames. You will know you're doing it right when you form a full arrow above with the grey on the left and the colour on the right and then you will get a life like video below

This is an experiment and will probably be taken down shortly. It's an experiment in 3d video and to achieve the effect you need to kind of look beyond the screen, and use your eyes to bring together the images. You will know you have it right when you have a fully formed arrow on the right made up with red/right grey/left and in the middle and fully formed arrow that's green/right grey/left

This short movie was created by a film club within Phoenix Arts Milton Keynes. We set the class a task to come up with a synopsis and we chose one about bereavement submitted by AJ & Elisa, both 12 years of age. From that point we wrote and developed it further. Planned the scenes, cast the roles & set about the filming, the recording of the songs and the editing. Very proud of the young people...

you're not alone - song about bullying
Rewatching this after almost six years. Must say it's one of the loveliest films I've ever watched. It's a really sweet reminder of my childhood and school years. I remember singing these songs all the time when i first watched the film. However after all this time i still regret about Tony and Jessica never meeting each other again and how we'd never know what 57 heart actually signified. But anyways, really amazing film and very talented cast members (prolly most of them are rising actors by now, lol). Thanks a lot Aragona productions for making this beautiful piece, it'll forever be close to my heart, and I'll probably rewatch it again after a few years. :)
Thank you so much for this. It means so much to me. There is a long back story to the 57 in a heart that reflects my own life. Perhaps I should do a reveal one day soon. Many of the young performers in the film have gone on to do some wonderful things and not necessarily in the field of acting/singing. One is a lead designer for Nike designing kits for top sports teams. Another has built a coffee roasting company. In terms of performing arts, we have one who works on films and has worked with the likes of Tom Cruise, we have two who are currently lead singers on cruises and one who's been in shows on the west end and toured around the world. It makes me very proud, as do your kind words.
This film will always remain close to my heart. I re-watch it every once a year.
Thank you Active Crown. This means a lot ❤
I am so impressed. You are all soooo professional. Good luck everyone. Xx
Great story telling 🙏
Beautiful & meaningful 🙏
Even after 10 years this song is too powerful. 😭
Thank you Active Crown. It's great to hear that it resonates with others. Though I've grown in confidence since the lonely child days, to this day there are moments that trigger a return. In fact there was one just yesterday .
@@aragona57 I first listened to it and watched the film, 'Once upon a life' some 4 years back. Since then I keep returning to it and other songs once in a while. The movie is truly one of the best ones I've watched till now. I remember watching it one fine afternoon in my school's auditorium while it rained outside. Really lots of my precious memories are connected with these songs.
wow@@activecrown5253 You've made my day. The work me & colleagues do is voluntary & on the basis that we enjoy what we do and that it is cathartic to put our experiences into words and tunes. The biggest hope, however, is that they manage to connect to an audience and in some way help in a number of ways. At the very least to allow anyone who's going through such difficulties that they're not alone. Thank you so much for your wonderful words ❤
This was cool 😂
❤️❤️
Thank you Pick Wick
This song really makes me nostalgic 😭😭😭❤️❤️
Thanks Ron, me too. I've just seen your comment and just posted an update orchestral version of this song on this channel. Hope you like it.
@@aragona57 yeah I loved that. Your films and songs are amazing. I loved that movie 'once upon a life' ( already watched it twice ) and last year we again watched it in our school. Your message needs to be heard in the world, I'll always support u ❤️
@@activecrown5253 Thank you so much for your kind words. It means so much and it's also so rewarding to hear from you and others that it's shown in schools. I simply hope that it has a positive impact on those that may be going through those issues via the shared experience communicated through the music/story

I have never been bullied before so I watched how bullying is and now I saw how hard it is for those people who have been bullied.thank god am a st.Lucian cause we might not always have bullying.but thanks for sharing the video
Thank you so much for watching and giving your positive opinion.
My ex said she'd never been bullied and a room full of us who had been looked at her in disbelief. There was a popular girl in my hs, she wasn't bullied and she was always kind to other's. Her name was Pam. You must be kind like her 💕
Fake movie
I normally don't respond to negative comments as I allow them to speak for themselves but I'm intrigued by this one as I'm so unclear as to what you mean my 'Fake movie' in this context. Could you elaborate further please?
Hi Ron, as I said previously I normally don't reply to negative comment's. I'm just intrigued by this comment as I simply don't understand what is meant. By their very nature films can never be fully genuine. They are based on reality, they are not reality, even films based on actual events cannot be genuine. So in the absence of the existence of a 'genuine movie', what is a 'fake movie'?
@Ron Watson Thank you so much Ron, it means a lot to me. At the time I made it I had no filmmaking experience, simply a story and songs based on what had happened to me years before. Creatively I can only hope that, as I'm not the only one who has experienced bullying, writing about my experiences would connect with others.
He recorded a phone camera and edit from computer
@Ron Watson Yep, the foundation of Tony Avati was based me and my experiences, adding a what if aspect to the story :-)

Thanks you Geena
Good
I love this so much that i cried. I've been bullied since I was very little in kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade. I wish schools can do something about bullying. I'm in the 9th grade and I'm still being bullied to this day. I try every day to move on and try to forget it but every day they keep coming back and back.. I never had a chance to speak out. My parents found out I was being bullied when I got kicked in the back on the bus when I was 11 years old. Teachers ignored me, the principal ignored me, and almost everyone ignored me... It got worse when my grandmother that helped my parents try to help stop bullying died. It got extremely worse when the bullies found out that she died, she was about to make it so the school was going to stop them but the school stopped after she died, the bullies laughed at me and made fun of me n saying "Your the one that worried her to much that she died bc of u. I have scars inside n outside bc of the bullying. The school never have a anti bullying day or anything like that. The school told my parents that they couldn't do anything until there is a death or serious injury... I hope one day bullying does stop for good.
I am so sorry that this happened to you. I wish more could have been done for you. I am also sorry about your grandmother. Your parents should try to prosecute those students that are bullying you to the fullest of the law. Prosecute the school and the students. I would call the authorities.
Your life is a lifetime movie wAiting for some professional assistance
*sends eternal hugs and support* Me too. It needs to be stopped. Sending you support and courage to stand against awful, awful stuff.
Fight back be strong Ur not alone..sorry so sad it happen to you.
Screw that principal Couldn't do anything until there is a death or serious injury Stupid principal he or she does not deserve to be in that post
this needs more views!!!!! Awesome job!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. I posted it up just over a year ago after I had done nothing with it since the November 2012 premiere so I am amazed that, without any marketing, it's gone beyond 18,000 views. Hearing that it's being shown in schools makes me think that it may be getting viewed by many more people than the RUclips views suggest. I'm chuffed as it's my first film, I hadn't even made a short prior to this. Now, with much more experience behind me, would love to remake with higher production values. Just need a backer :-)
Once Upon Productions (Aragona57) :)
I watched this in school on Anti bullying day and I cried a few times but it teaches bullies a lesson but this is so good great work😁❤️✅
Thank you so much, and it's great to hear that it's being shown in schools. It was written based on my own experiences so it means so much knowing that it's connecting with others.

fantastic film...should be shared world-wide BRAVO
Thank you so much Teresa. your comment drew me back to this video and only then did I realise how much this film has been viewed. I truly wasn't expecting many viewings especially as it hasn't been marketed online by us at all.
I agree Theresa
