Ever wondered what it would be like to live in a movie? I don’t mean being part of a movie production and acting in one, but actually living in the scene and moment. The folks at Red Giant cleverly showed us this with a mysterious “Plot Device”.
For those of you who are new to SFF, Short Film Friday is weekly blog where one of us from Hi And Bye Productions blogs about a short film that we thought is interesting, meaningful, or just plain awesome.
This is a great video by Phaseone directed by Vadim Gershman & Ryan Powell.
The video has two characters the entire time, but you never see them, only through what we can assume is their text messages. Not only is the music in the background awesome but it matches up the mood of the situation. What you can see are the visions of a a driver, or passenger in a car driving through the city lights. As the music paces gets faster so does the heat of the argument from the couple, and when it gets slower, you feel a sense of loss hope. Does the couple end up resolving this?
Today, Anderson West created a witty short called First Day. Oscar, a kid with no intention ended up in detention and during his time there we all get to see how he ended up there.
This week’s Short Film Friday is an oldie but a goodie from Wong Fu Productions called “At Musing’s End”; one of my favorites that they’ve done. This short film tells a story about a girl and her relationship with a boy she met on the train which later transcends into something bigger. Although, in the end of their relationship, just like all other relationships, things just seem to end at a climactic surprise.
A very touching film. A husband who just lost his wife through an accident, re minces on memories that he and his wife endured through pictures in a camera. But as he scrolls through his father grabs the camera to take a picture of him, and he magically disappears and appears within the pictures of the camera.
