    Beautiful … love how the bright colors fade when he leaves but then slowly come back as more time passes. Some things don´t work out in the end, just try to keep your memories fond, not bitter

    I don't think I have ever seen a film before that stayed on one view - no panning or zooming or cutaways - for the entire film. At first it seems like an unnecessary restraint, but in this film it works to show that we are seeing only one view of the lives of the characters, leaving it up to our imagination to fill in what happens from a wider perspective. I like the effect.

    I really liked how the small changes to the environment displayed the characters internal conflicts and actions. This a sweet little short, and I can't wait to see more. What inspired you to create this?

      @chalkywong2149  5 ปีที่แล้ว +140

      Thank you! I'm so happy you caught that! It's hard to say what inspired the story.. probably a mixture of a lot of different people I've met in life and wondering how much impact we've had on one another's lives ultimately.
