Cheese Short Film

VFS student, Peter Harakaly has just posted his completed short "Cheese" to the interwebs.



It's a great little short, and has a nice Looney Tunes feel to it. I do feel the pacing is a touch slow, but overall it's a fantastic effort.

The one bit of advice I would like to give to anyone thinking of creating a short, is that you give it an original title. While "Cheese" is simple and to the point, in this day and age of computers, it makes it hard for people to find your work. If I'm sitting at home and think, "Man... I remember that short about the rat and the cheese. I'd like to see that again!" but all I can remember is the title "Cheese," doing a search is going to be a pointless effort. Same thing goes for if you ever decide to post it on YouTube and have a title like "Cheese." Go do a search on YouTube for "cheese" and see if you want to wade through 10,000 videos of cheese to find the short film you're looking for.

The point is that if the film had been named, "A Cheesy Affair" or something like that, it would make finding it again much easier. Just because your short is original, it doesn't mean your title doesn't have to be.
