"Are you driving your qurstion car into answer city? And i'm the mayor? Do you expect me tk have all the answers?"
This is going into my daily vocabulary
what's weird about it? it's like a quote
"I have a silly app, but you're a silly man" had me losing my mind
how drunk were you when you made that app
I was so impressed they didn't burst out laughing
"You musta been kinda hammered making that app" Jesus Christ that's why they call him Dax FLAME.. what a burn
That was my favorite line of the movie
Daxflame has the wonderful ability to make me feel physical pain in response to his character's awkwardness. Had to watch through my fingers as usual.
Yeah i had anxiety wat hing how awkward he is.
I wanted my hands to leave its physical state and enter my mind and shut it off. You can even hear it in his voice changes!
That's just irl Dax yo
@roarface1993 Dax makes me happy for this reason, he's just him and people have dubbed him a character because of it
He wasn’t that awkward at all in this film. Props to him, acted great.
Trent's phone call is a relationship goal!
"What are you wearing? Just kidding. Oh nice I love that shirt"
That part got me real good lol
Honestly that conversation is my ideal in a romantic relationship
He is such an absolute sweety
I think everybody needs a Trent in their life. (just help him get off the air guitar or he'll get out of line once more)
One continuous take!? This is Brilliant Joel, the orchestration and pacing of this is all incredible.
Thank you! It was tons of fun!
Just noticed it was one take that’s so cool
@@Joel-Haver im glad u had fun but I shall be cursing u for the rest of my life for making that cliff hanger.
@@helloandgoodbye7286 I think the film ending like that represents how the rest of their relationship story is about to happen from that moment anyway so showing the AI generated version of it is pointless
@@Joel-Haver 12 angry men vibes......... 👀
How everyone managed listening to Ben's pitch without dying laughing is a true feat in acting
They waited about a month before they fired me. They even said that I, "Wasn't a good fit."
Is that the reason? Is it really the reason? Or is it just because nobody in the office can look at me in th eyes without DYING LAUGHING after what happened
In low key its a good idea
At least I know to never ride a motorcycle when I'm 36
@@anegginthesetryingtimes7636 lol spill the beans
Idiot
@@anegginthesetryingtimes7636 Lol spill the beans
the unprompted "tinder has like a 10% success rate" killed me
Hey at least he did his research
Hey, it's part of his pitch
It’s just a fact
Who is measuring "success" and what constitutes success?
that's honestly high
Francesca’s reaction to the text blew me away. What a twist, and a perfect way to respond-with humor, honesty, and levity. Francesca had a phenomenal performance. Love the ending.
Yah her reaction was very relieving lol, so much tension built up til that point
Also wild that it was all one take
I was SO RELIEVED! Everyone treated Ted so poorly, it felt like nothing was going right, it was such a good choice to have her set everything straight.
You called her francesca so I was waiting for someone in the movie named francesca to show up
In hindsight it was kind of ridiculous they hid it from her for so long when she’s literally a subject matter expert
@@handsomehal142I believe that is the actors name
Joel, allow me to enthusiastically exaggerate while praising you. You are one of the few creators on this platform who truly understands what this space is suppose to be. Fun. Silly, ridiculous, no strings attached fun.
With that out of the way, let me add that my love and appreciation for you and your work can never be exaggerated.
That’s a beautiful compliment, it’s an honor that you feel that way! Thank you for the kind words❤
@@Joel-Haver and thank you, sir, for the chance to detach from the stress of reality for a bit and just genuinely smile. Can't put a price on that feeling.
Where’s the exaggeration? ❤🎉
Did you just call his body of work silly?
It goes well with the silly app and silly man.
Not to denigrate your back catalogue in any way, but I hope you realize you're doing some of your best work this year.
Parasocial yes-men like you are going to ruin this guy.
@@Matt-cv6on How do you figure?
Lol @Skatche annnnnd he's gone!! All you have to do is ask them a basic question about their original comment and *poof* lol
@Matt-cv6on While your comment is a valid reminder of the dangers of parasociality, I would counter that, on balance, no-men are worse for any artistic endeavour. Yes-men may result in poor quality art made of hubris. No-men destroy art. I'd rather there be more artistic expression in the world than less.
@@Matt-cv6onBruh what lol? Maybe they just genuinely feel that Joel is doing some of his best work this year. I know I do.
That tune on the piano is so good. Perfect for the nasty regretful hangover and hearing it louder when the bedroom door opens and realising it was someone actually playing and not just edited in was awesome. I myself had a friend's 30th birthday at our house and it was a good few hours of cleaning while feeling like garbage. Good times.
Yeah I want that song for real
My one and only complaint is that Chekhov's Sword never went off.
I can’t believe the sword never came into play lol
I thought he was going to start swinging any second 😂
next short: The sword. the AI predicts the gangs worst sides and deepest secrets, but in eachother. Jacob starts swinging, the neighbor joins in, Will reveals his last name: POWER. Cops show up, it's Cherdley and his homies, they are stripper cops. But they don't strip, they are showing their comic strips. The comic strip is a prediction of the future. as WILL POWER have defeated all of the people in the AirBNB, he realizes he'll be late to clean for his loving partner and screams NOOOO as the camera pans out to the universe edge, then back into the mouth of Will - pitch black. A match is lit, the pipe is lit, gandalf closes the book about WILL POWER, turns to his sword Glamdring and says - you've been through heck of a lot! Glamdring has its own couch and it's a close up of Glamdring for 30 seconds before Gandalf is laughing in joy, lifting it up - close to his face and then BAM from nowhere, it's the kiss cam from the hockey stadium. They kiss and live forever after. The whole arena applauds and sings happy birthday. The camera lens settings appears, the point of view travels from the lense to the cameraman. It's Joel Haver with his closing words: dream, and you can do anything. Credits roll. Curtains closes.
@@Drnonstop damn dude I can’t tell if you’re a genius or schizophrenic
ahahahahaah it's perfect
Dax continuously trying to take his phone back fucking broke me lol
Relatable af
joel, dude. this captures such a specific feeling in an incredible and uncomfortable way. loving what you're doing.
Thank you so much, Raz. Means a lot that you’d give the movie your time. Wish you well! Congrats on the baby my friend❤️
Top tier. the one continuous shot made the discomfort last for nearly the entire 48 minutes but really added to the feel of the "guys waking up after a party" vibe...
Milo³ !
I love Milo, I have it every day
this is one of my most favorites since "pretend that you love me"
❤️❤️❤️
Man I know he's not innocent and all, but I was getting so much second hand frustration when the friend decided to try and sabotage the date instead of just saying that he was bothered that his app was called silly.
Really well done
Man when she reads the text, it made the movie infinitely more watchable. Less uncomfortable. 😂
Love seeing you use wide screen!
Edit: just finished it, jeez man this is an amazing film. Instantly hooked from the very start, and the choreography is just stellar! Well done to you all!
Thank you so much! It was fun to create with a new way of shooting!
hey what are you doing here bro hahah
27:20 "We're at an Air B&B, I'm hanging out with the boys-" "NOOOOOO" really got me. Incredible job. Loved the whole thing.
Amazing film, amazing cast, amazing sword. Who could ask for anything more? I can’t imagine the stress of filming a 1 shot movie within a 3 hour time frame
Glamdring is just the icing on the cake
Very impressive how you were able to do this in one shot.
Ben as a soft boiled villain was perfect. Francesca was so natural, it didn't seem like acting. Calvin and Trent gave the scene a satisfying fullness, and of course Dax did Dax stuff like only Dax can do.
One 48 minute shot shouldn't be able to be this good. Bravo, Mr. Haver and friends.
Perfectly summed up my thoughts on this. Joel is a wizard and he has such a massive arsenal of acting talent to use in his videos.
I love the focus on the characters, their personalities lead the whole narrative.
"you gotta take that motorcycle crash part out" lmao
This is legitimately one of the best short films I've ever seen. I died laughing at the AI app pitch. Incredible work by everyone in it.
can’t wait to see what you’ve been working on with smiling friends
wait really???? Joel's on smiling friends?
@@sickdewd5694please use your brain kid.
@@sickdewd5694Yeah, the new trailer
Yep. Hes one of his iconic animated characters in the new season 2 trailer that just came out
@@catm590 hyped
The framing of the plot and the resolution coming full circle at the end was incredible
the buildup and reveal of the text is perfect
I know! I was kind of expecting it to be either a reveal at the end, or never revealed. But that would be kinda cliche and cheap. Bam, reveal just after building up enough tension. Then the tension is immediately reapplied when Kaylee shows up.
My heart hasn't beat this fast during a film since Uncut Gems. I felt my brain enter fight-or-flight mode when Dax was trying to stop the whiteboard from being brought out
Also my god the camerawork was amazing, would love to see some behind the scenes footage!
haha, I hated that movie so much!! 2nd worst theater experience of my life. But, I agree about this one when she was waiting to see the Ai results at the end my heart was racing with anticipation for sure!
really great sound mixing going inbetween rooms and environments and still being able to hear everyone clearly
Agreed, it was seamless!
The blocking and timing that went into this is A++, when that whiteboard started coming out I had “Scott’s Tots” flashbacks
the way dynamics shift is absolutely intoxicating
Joel,
so often I feel like you've made my favourite thing on youtube and then you do it again and it's completely different, I love this.
That’s a beautiful compliment, here’s to many more totally different favorite things!!
ONE TAKE!??!
Dax is actually the most believable and natural actor on the planet, I think he is acting as himself instead when the camera isn't rolling? Truly, he's an enigma and a world class talent!! great cinematography and camera work! excellent choreography and acting!
I really hope Dax gets his big break. He truly is a unique character and person..
Congratulations for collabing with Smiling Friends!
LETS GOOOO!!!! I always love when Daxflame is in these
Same
he is kinds a one note actor. he alwats plays the nervous , awkward dork. im over it
@@swettyspaghttioh come on, he might not be the greatest actor in the room but he's improved a ton in the last few years. I think he projects what he's like in real life and for some people it's harder to shake off on a role; especially on a single-take movie where you cannot redo anything.
@@swettyspaghtti nah he feels genuine. I know people who act the same way
Joel I normally don't comment on videos but I just needed to say that this is really fucking good. Like genuinely every aspect of this is amazing, I really hope you're proud of this one.
Thank you, that means a lot! I’m super proud of what we pulled off :)
One shotting this is crazy. Well done!
I love how "raw" this is. The drunk texting, discussing how to damage control with your friends, being stuck in an impossibly awkward social situation, that one friend who suddenly turns psycho after he feels you've slighted him... Watching these moments was definitely uncomfortable, yes. But I found great value in that, too - the fact that these tough moments are inextricable from life. When you're in these inescapable moments, you just want to sink into yourself, avert your gaze, cease existing. But you end up looking back at them wistfully, knowing the strong emotions tied to those events mean you've lived. Thus, you learn to embrace them.
To summarize my feelings in just three words, the sentiment -
"Such is life."
Saw you in the smiling friends season 2 trailer, you're officially a TV star! for what that counts.
OMG THIS IS SO GOOD. Everyone crushed it!
Congratulations on the guest animation for smiling friends! Look forward to seeing you in the show!
SMILING FRIENDSSSSS
Wow. One take, too?!
Dax is a powerhouse. It's so authentically cringe that I'm worried it's gonna ruin my day right now.
I'm going through texts I've sent in my head and stressing out about having written ones with this sort of weight. Breakups can definitely cause people to say regretful or cringe shit.
This film makes me wanna stop drinking more than Leaving Las Vegas did. This film carries a weird power. It's like a wake-up call.
"What up biiiiiiitttch?"
He said "one shot" which means it could have been multiple takes.
It was 3 1/2 takes, but one shot for the entire length of the film! The distinction is important, as "one take" means we shot this in 48 minutes with no other attempts. We had rehearsals, and we recorded this entire film 3 separate times and used the best one (there was another, but we stopped halfway through because of a few big mistakes).
@@CalvinLaVallee You all were so great in this! I loved your quiet intensity
This was actually all one shot?! Wtf. I assumed there was some 1917-esque movie magic with unnoticeable cuts going on. What on Earth? That’s an incredible feat. You all did a brilliant job.
Wow, what a great project. Every character comes through so clearly and naturally. The thoughtfulness of the interactions between characters are all the more impressive given it being one take within the time window of the Oscars. They put on a performance that was positively immersive. It also highlights the depth of forethought that went into writing and shooting it. Bravo! What a work of art
Holy hell, Trent looks so great!
He always does!! But now it’s unbelievable!!
This is a beautiful flowing narrative. This style hits me in a different place. Thank you Joel, and all the incredible people involved. What a great experience.
Unfortunately there’s only one good shot in this.
YOOO CONGRATS ON BECOMING A GUEST ON SMILING FRIENDS
It’s awesome how recognizable your style is. I recognized you 0.0001 seconds after you came into frame in Smiling Friends’ season 2 trailer. Way to go!
JOEL HAVER IN SMILING FRIENDS WOO HOO!!!!!
its so cool to see you on smiling friends
Joel Brother i fully did not intend to watch this entire movie when i clicked on it, but it felt so viscerally real all the way through that I couldn't not observe the events unfolding. This shit is absolutely nuts, and i don't think much media touches the pulse quite like yours does
I saw the smiling friends trailer and instantly recognized that face. Can't wait to see it 😊
SMILING FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!
YOOOOOO DUUUDE! I JUST SAW SMILING FRIENDS SEASON 2 TRAILER WTFFFFFF?? LESS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Him following her around the pool is too funny lol
Bro you're in smiling friends?!?!??!
GOAT collab
Dude I just saw the commercial that's awesome!!
I had no intention of watching all of this when I started, just clicked it to check it out. Now it's 48 minutes later and I'm waiting for the sequel.
Honestly, a monkey's paw relationship prediction app that balances out true happiness with motorcycle crashes would be the greatest thing.
Congrats on being in Smiling Friends season 2!
Dude your gonna be in Smiling Friends???????? That's so freakin radddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!
The quality of the acting in this is absolutely insane for one take. The jokes, the cringe, instantly captivating to watch from the start. Phenomenal work Joel!
JOEL ARE YOU IN SMILING FRIENDS OR AM I INSANE
The atmosphere of this is spot on! I loved the complete shift towards the end, and I'm dying to see the final presentation for Ted and Kylie now
That was amazing. All one shot. I don't know how you do it, or how Dax plays "painfully awkward" so well. Well done, all of you!
Congrats on getting in Smiling Friends!
Can't believe you're regularly working with the camera kid from "Project X"
Big leagues! Insaneo style!!!🎉
Move over, 1917. We've got a new one-shot classic.
Thank God Joel found a way to get his films out of that square box! But wait… what are these black bars? Oh no!
4:3 is awesome!
And all this in one continuous take.
Masterpiece,
driving a question car into answer city expecting i'm the mayor
just saw you in smiling friends
joel i'm so excited to see you in smiling friends! it's gonna be huge!!
This is so good that I forgot I came here from the Smiling Friends trailer until returning to the comments after accidentally having watched the whole thing. I'm feeling quite the emotional whiplash I'll tell ya that much. Hoo
I'm very excited to see you on Smiling Friends
all these new comments lol
you know exactly why you’re here
I feel like I have tasted perfectly grilled grilled cheese as the flaws each character has are so pronounced that I expected all of them to have some kind of flaw but instead they are all so human and so defined and unique I thought anything could happen and flaws don't define the characters and oh my goodness I loved Jacob's character, everything he did felt so viscerally impactful and purposeful and just wow I think my whole viewpoint was suspended further every time Jacob talked or was just in frame, I can relate heavily to carrying around the sword he received on his birthday, and with him reciting it's origin just goodness, I might have cried if Jacob dropped the sword.
I had an ache in my chest worrying for Ted's relationship and it persisted even after the end when I wanted so badly to continue watching what their next reaction would be to what happens next like I was frozen, and even now the ache is still thawing waiting for what Ted will do next.
Will fit right in as the guy that acts as a kind of mediator and holds the group together well, cleaning up messes and being cheerful, I relied on Will to hopefully carry the story to a happy end.
I liked Dominick's role and his motivation behind the app being told, since I also want to strive to make more money, and perhaps just like me Dominick wants the assurance that having more money will give so that he can keep hanging out with his buddies.
The last character was so out of the blue but so vivid and colorful I felt they could navigate anything with confidence and it was truly a blessing to see how they handled the situation where I who was just like the first four characters was stumped in muted horror by the situation the last character truly showed a prominent role and gave me an ending I couldn't stop waiting for.
Truly a masterpiece of a film and I don't need any credentials to say it, I loved this video to the core.
That's a hell of a way to cut down on editing. What a fucking insane move to pull in only a 3 hour window. Fabulous work from everybody. Holy shit.
3/3
bangers joel. I love you. you give me so much light. you inspire me so much. thank you
It’s like Joel is pulling off something genius and once in a lifetime every month
I think it might be due to Joel really seeing and feeling the humanity. By knowing himself, he knows others. The amount of humility can show these flawed character's and to bring them life.
MY BOY CAMEOS IN SMILING FRIENDS S2
Good use of Chekhov's Sword; "If a giant sword is shown in a story, the giant sword should be shown multiple times later in the story."
Unironically it was just great characterization for Jacob, and I think that’s all it was meant to do
Such a flex. You’re a wizard Joel. Too good for RUclips standards! I’m so jealous of the massive arsenal of great talent you have to help out with all your productions.
Came here to day congrats on being in smiling friends! I recognized your work right away from the trailer!
I got excited when I saw you in the Smiling Friends season 2 trailer.
Dax has such casual hilarious delivery.. Trent does too.. everyone here is so talented, fantastic job
Imma just freestyle extrapolate for a minute. They are all dealing with shame. So they approach every interaction with detachment and irony, instead of just being real with eachother. Jacob is aware of this but doesn’t know exactly where the problem is, but he wants a more honest and open connection with his friends. The text itself was drennnnched in shame and self pity to the point of the intentions of the text being clear while the words state otherwise. It ended up pushing that person even farther away. Probably more than if he just said “I miss you. Take me back pls” The boys were on the brink of breaking up because of what they disliked in themselves. When kylie came in she forced them to unpack the truths and made them realize its better just drop the act sometimes instead of building this house of cards irony and guilt. You cant maintain relationships living like that. Trent is a sweet boy he is vibin regardless, and that’s cus he likes himself and thinks about other people instead of his own problems. Idk im not good at articulating things like this, but i guess hey Joel, Dax and friends this resonated with me in my own way and I really like this movie. Thanks for this!!
Beautiful interpretation! Thanks for sharing these thoughts and thanks for watching❤️
"What are you wearing? Just kidding. Oh, I love that shirt!" had me dying! Trent is the best!
It was amazing, and no cuts in the whole movie. Joel did you put in any trick cut like in Birdman or its just one long take like Russian Ark? And I believe putting drunk text on a white board is an effective way to discuss it and men should do it more often. Im really want to know how it continue.
In case you didn't see it, he uploaded a video on his second channel where he said it was all one continuous shot.
@@yodosgaming2203 I'll check out :D Thanks
I just watched it and it answered it perfectly
Thank you mate
SMILING FRIENDS????
I can't even imagine how much rehearsal and blocking this would have taken to do right. Seriously good job dude!
This is absolutely insane for a one-shot. Expert acting, this genuinely feels candid.
He has has always reminded me of Ed Norton. Great job, Joel!
Dax is my favourite of Joel's entourage. Great to see him front and centre.
Joel, I am baffled!! What!!! ! Wonderfully anxiety-inducing, and the pacing of the performances & story overall was incredible (which I imagine is especially difficult for something long-take & improvised). So inspiring & fresh, thank you & everyone involved for creating this :)
1 take of awkwardness that was funny as fuck. So good!
To second everyone else, the fact that we can just focus on the solidly joel haver beautiful awkward humor and nothing else in a single take film proves how well you nailed the acting, timing, blocking, use of lighting, and mic hiding!
Man the way you set everything up is just golden. It’s continuously intriguing, having me wondering about the answers to the questions the film poses. Also I couldn’t help but imagining some of the footwork you had to pull off while working that camera. Keep on keepin’ on, man!
Whoa, Benny can indeed play piano!
Looking forward to sitting down to watch this one, much love
Joel, these are some of your best films ever. you’ve been holding back on us!
