The Story of Baby Squirrel and the Wall

This is just adorable!

That was the sweetest thing I have seen in a while.

I love this!

Hi, any idea whats the background music played here

The song is called Bruises. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairlift_(band) for info on the band.

So cute!

Thank you for providing this in my morning!

Bawwwwwwwww

Couldn't watch the whole thing. The subtitles were unnecessary. The repetition was jarring and detracted from the action. Big squirrel jumps down, then jumps down again. Seemed to be edited to fit the music rather than to actually tell a story.

Very cute - thanks!

i'm with ted on this one.

That made my day! Sucks to be you, Ted.

So sweet.. Actually made me cry a little bit.

what does it say about me that i was expecting a denoument where a truck takes out the baby squirrel, or a single shot from the grassy knoll or a wolf... i'm ashamed now

Yayz! behbeh squirrel.

"Couldn’t watch the whole thing" - Ted
Well then, you missed the end credits. It was filmed by none other than Martin Scorcese.

It's a youtube video. I do not know why you would expect a video posted on youtube to be the standards you would expect from a high budget motion picture.

There must be a lot of nuts in Los Angeles.

I'm also with Ted. The captions were lame and wasted my time. The video did not need any external narration. It was clear what was going. I didn't need someone pointing out the obvious. Less is more.

Great piece of work! I did like the way it was edited to the music and parts of the narration was a nice touch, though it could have been edited down by a minute or two.

Still...made me smile so job done.

I'm so glad to know that there are people out there kind enough to help a dumb little squirrel; it strengthens my faith in mankind. The text was annoying, but I still enjoyed it.

It would have been more impressive, if the baby squirrel just leaped up and used mom's tail to scale the wall.

Sweet! I like how everyone pitched in to help the little one.

Awwww. This makes up for that Ninja Squirrel Assault video. :P

Yup, with Ted. I think I have a headache now.
cute squirrel - but seriously 5 minutes is way too long.
I have ADD ! :)

Agreed with Ted. Why interrupt the video to explain what could easily be understood by just showing the video? Stop going to black and just let me watch the damned action unfold!

Plus, I suspect the footage itself was shot by a squirrel, as jittery as it was.

Aww this was cute. People whine too much.

I was actually there when this was happening, towards the end when people were trying to help the squirrel up, so I was happy watching the initial failures, then became super confused because that was NOT what happened. They used a plank and apple pieces to lure one of TWO baby squirrels up the wall, and that squirrel was preoccupied with eating. The mom had originally left the squirrels and later came back and got the other squirrel, who learned to jump the wall on his own!

Im confused.

that was so stinkin' adorable.

The baby squirrel was waiting around to see if the film maker guy would finally learn how to edit. Alas, he didn't.

Holy shit. People are the worst. Just show the adorable video and leave your unnecessary self out of it. "Let's state the obvious at an unbearably slow rate for people only as perceptive as me!" Wow. So annoying.

Tried to watch it but it kept cutting to title cards so I had to bail. Hope it worked out for the little guy.

Nice little video were it not for the incessant narration. Instead of enjoying the tale and rooting for the little squirrel, I found myself distracted and annoyed. I have eyes, for cryin' out loud. I can SEE what is happening.

Hey Jenn, you ever think that maybe UCLA has more than 2 squirrels living on campus? As for Ted, I'm with you broseph. All those self obsessed narrative breaks were completely uneccessary. You should do the world a favor and recreate this video withcout your nonsense. You think you add a dramatic element to the project, but you actually just stop people from caring enough to finish watching it. Overall though, it was a decent video. Congratulations baby squirrel, soon you shall be the one to jump the wall and teach the next generation.

Nice One.......

Wonderfully crafted video. I love the theme it was original and inspirational. Your choice of music was right on, an excellent fit. As for the harsh critics, I dare say they should attempt to do better but I doubt they could. And perhaps the theme caring for one less capable that is to say having empathy for Baby Squirl may be beyond them. Lots of callous people out there. Hang in there your video making is right where it should be....well done!
