  Your website is great. I use the short videos in the classroom as writing prompts. They bring good human nature and having the courage to do the right thing. I espcially like how the home run was portrayed. I personally know the umpires and I have umpired both of these teams. Great job, keep it coming. Jim Sanderson Teacher (suspension room), Asst.

    I will never wear a seat belt when they try to force me to . Repeal those laws and I might do it. This is just one more infringement of our individual rights.

      BOB- Not wearing your seatbelt is plain STUPID! Just because their is a law stating "people need to wear their seatbelts" In high school I lost a very good friend because he wasn't wearing his seatbelt. Sadly his truck rolled and ejected him and then landed upside down on top of his body. Smearing him along the road, there was just a red streak and some flesh for the next 60 feet! It is just common sense to wear your seatbelt, I don't think you need a law to tell you that you should wear a seatbelt. I hope your family won't have to go through the pain of having a funeral for you. At least make sure you have A LOT of life insurance so they will be rewarded for your stupidity. :-)

  I watched with rapt attention the whole time. I usually click vids off after 40 seconds or so. This says so much without saying a word.

    I just love the harry potter books and feel they make that special bond between reading and family time. Me being a 12 year old girl it makes me wonder why the harry potter series are my favorite books/movies. BTW great idea on making the last one into 2 movies, smart move! :)

      what did that have to do with these beautiful films? i thought that the good vibrations one was especially touching, and it reminded me of the canadian short film "the technician" and the canadian short film "skhizein." strong work, all!

  There is one word in my mind and that is 'Beautiful'. Your films can help people learn to be responsible. Thank you for making these films.

  This truly remarkable film illustrates the true nature of the human spirit. Dad's understanding of children, his relentless efforts on behalf of his son, and his recognition of the efforts of others is boldly shown, in the final scene, ending with a smile which explains all. Bravo! I was truly moved.

  This was an interesting examination of the conditon of the human family today. The work force in the window could be taking their coffiee break to rectify the problem instead of wasting their employers time gawking and laughing at someones difficulty, gone to notify the worker of the impending danger to others that he might be causing. Those who fell because of the vibration, could have stopped and taken the time to tell the worker of the danger that he was causing to passerbys. The worker was doing his job, but should have contempated the results of his work related responsibilities. The old man has such a life that a little vibration gave him a challange, some excitement, and an opportunity to make one more thing in life better and safer before his life was over. He took responsibility, considered the consequences in his mind as to what would happen if he didn't. The young boy was my hero. He honked his horn. He got things on the right track. Our young people are our future, whether we like it or not. I think this was a nice video. We need more things in advertisement especially that make us think of the opportunity, the consequences of what we see and do, and the responsibility to act in a way that complements our human family. I may be way off base on my thinkng, but I am 61 years old, unemployed, having been layed off twice during the time that I have been diagnosed and rediagnosed with sinus cancer. My days numbered. This is my first opportunity to comment on the computer as you can well imagine by my age and comments. I do, however, thank whoever was responsible for this media for letting me make a comment. With Sincerity, Pat

  I am not sure where any gets the idea that more gun control is the answer to irresponsible use of guns. First individuals need to accepting responsibility to lawfully use guns. Then there needs to be enforcement of existing laws. The fact that TV and movies constantly show the inappropriate and irresponsible use of guns is not good for the younger generation or for anyone for that manner. When I was in Boy Scouts in the 60"s, the police department taught us how to shoot guns. Anyone who went through the course developed a great respect for responsible use of a gun. A while back, there was a story where a police officer's son got into the fathers locked guns and ammunition just because he was curious and had never fired a gun. The result was the irresponsible use of a gun resulting in an accident. Simply if that boy had been through a course on marksmanship which always includes safety, the accident would have never happened.

  This is a great Good Vibrations video on responsibility. I would like to share it with my middle school students.

  It is smart to get involved to prevent a hazard or an accident. Many times people won't get involved for fear on the outcome. Group think and fear and group nuances hypnotize keep us from responding objectively. For example the speed limit is 65 the road and the weather is clear so everyone goes 75+ there are so many cars just over the limit so no car is given a ticket. Someone makes a driver error and you have a pile up. Group think distorts one's perception of reality or ethics. People may not get involved because of the "fear of the powerful or the outcome" For example military vehicles may set in the motor pool for several months. Am officer complains about the government gas being no good. A Spec 4 that knows chemistry says that it isn't the fuel but because it is 95 octane the officer is intimidated by the Spec 4 knowledge. Tells the Spec 4 to drive his car around and fill it up with government gas. The Spec 4 tells the officer that that it unethical to fill his car with government gas. The officer orders the Spec 4 out of the motor pool.The officer and his crew towed the Spec 4 car around to the gas pump and filled it up with gas and parked it back where it was. When the Spec 4 returned back to his car the officer and his crew stood around and thought that the car would start and of course it did. Next the officer and his crew attempted to charge the Spec 4 with stealing government gas. The Spec 4 hired a good lawyer. Why was that necessary to hire a good lawyer? it was because when people in positions of authority abuse their power. It may have the same consequence as the "group think" on the highway death and destruction. A culture that abuses their frequently may cause illusions of the "abuse of power". One needs to read Philip Zimbardo's and Stanleys Milgram's research- the outcomes are predictable.
