After all the amateurish crap put up on Video Dog since its inception, this excellent little indie-film was a needed tonic. Aside from being well acted, written and directed, I especially like the shot transitions as the beau-to-be runs up the stairs. Very nice indeed.
I can hear the soundtrack ("Ooo - Ooo - Ooo" at the beginning with a strumming guitar) but there is no visual.
sweet!
Am I the only person who heard the "In the Jungle, the mighty Jungle" owingaway riff stolen for the soundtrack?
Back to my obsessive taxonomy of rock-songs on my iPod. ;-)
I get a popup message saying that the software required to view the film isn't available on the Quicktime server. What does one need to do?
For two of these three college shorts, I get sound but no video; for the other one I get the same Quicktime popup message mentioned by a previous writer, indicating that the video cannot be played. Assuming other people are experiencing similar difficulties, this may explain the relative scarcity of comments in response. Other videos on the page, such as the (deeply disturbing but hilarious) automatic dog-petter display without a problem.
And I feel badly that my first feedback message is to point out a problem about a Salon feature which has otherwise brought much hilarity over the past few months.
Can't download the final 1/4 of the film. Quicktime is perhaps not the best player.
none of these student videos show on my computer, but all your others do. a note comes up that some element is mission and quicktime cannot supply it. the only one to play is the banana. there is sound no video. I cannot be the only one.

Has anyone else noticed that since last Monday the clips have taken FOREVER to load? What gives??
A simple idea executed with flair. For those who can not view the video, you will probably need to upgrad the player, not just the codecs.
I really love this video. I've watched it 4 times now. Thank you!!
hey... im Anthony, i wrote the score to Elevator Girl.... and just to let you know i did not steal any material... you're probably reffering to the classic sterotypical sound of a ukulele that can pretty much be found in most calypso style music.. in addition to the fact that you cannot copyright chord progressions and strum patters.. i'd say you don't know what you're talking about. but thanks for your expert opinion.
Anthony, your score is brilliant. It makes the film. I'm sending this to everyone I know.

How do you spell SACCHARINE.
thank you lori, it's great that people really dig the movie. danny and i and the whole crew had a lot of fun making it, but hearing peoples' reactions make everything worth while. thanks again :-)
