I like to film people.

I make shorts with the footage.

Or I used to.

But I'd still like to film people.

Let me know if you don't want me to film you.

Thank you.

Comments

[om_anole]

Uh do you put them online? Coz if you do I don't think it would be very safe to film me after what happened to the girl in Mississippi.

[om_chroma]

I wouldn't put anything online that would compromise our safety.

And I wouldn't put anything online that wouldn't if the people in the footage don't want me to.

[om_anole]

Just checking, I can't be too careful you see

[om_touchstone]

Uh. Do us both a favor and leave me off of the camera, thank you. I have too many problems with that kind of thing as it is, these days.

[om_incubus]

Because you're SO careful yourself, Tongue Boy.

[om_anole]

Go crawl back in your hole and die. No one asked for your opinion.

[om_chroma]

Of course.

Thank you for making me clarify.

[om_chroma]

I won't film you, Simon.

[om_incubus]

You'd better make money off of anything you tape with me in it, and I'd better be getting 90% of the profits. Otherwise, I will shove your head so far up your own ass that the only videos you'll be taking are of your spleen.

I might even do it anyway. Who knows!

Life is so unpredictable like that.

[om_backlash]

Minor correction: Trolls live under bridges.

[om_incubus]

Technically someone DID; our friend, Creeptastic, here.

[om_incubus]

THANK YOU. See. Even JJ here has an understanding of how the Internet works.

[om_chroma]

...so I won't film you either.

[om_incubus]

Much obliged, Creepy.

[om_anthem]

If I gave you permission and later asked you delete something, would you?

[om_quicksilver]

You mean, like, surprise filming people? As in "can I film you when you don't know I'm filming you"?

[om_quicksilver]

ALL THE AWARDS.

[om_anthem]

If you want to be jerk or whatever, fine, but there's no reason to go around using names like that.

[om_dazzler]

What kind of films?

[om_chroma]

Of course.

[om_incubus]

Of course there is. Multiple reasons, even.

Reason #1: It entertains me.
Reason #2: It ticks you off.
Reason #3: It probably ticks him off.
Reason #4: I enjoy doing it.
Reason #5: It's creative.
Reason #6: It's informative.
Reason #7: It's expressive.
Reason #8: It's... Well, really, I could keep going, but that would defeat the purpose of Reason #1, and probably also reasons 4, 5, and 7, even with the varying degrees of success on 2 and 3.

[om_chroma]

Just like photographers taking candid pictures of people around them.

Only with film.

But if you don't want me to, I will always ask.

[om_chroma]

Like candid photography.

But in film.

Capturing slices of life.

[om_quicksilver]

Well, I mean, a lot of people take pictures of parties and things. And Josh has video from truth or dare. I hate you Josh but I love Shakira. But everyone knows it's happening, so that's, um, socially appropriate, I guess? You're making it sound like this is socially inappropriate picture-taking.

So yeah, I would say your best bet is to ask. I love a camera as much as the next attention whore, but... yeah.

[om_quicksilver]

This is the first time I've actually read something someone else wrote and genuinely thought, "Wow, that guy is even more bored than me."
