"Retrospect" - Short Film 

I am at the wahmen in each frame

Also awesome that you linked the last shot with the credit-song :D

i think this is the first time ive seen the term "slice of life" not in context with anime

Did someone mention Nichijou?

Jude Fredman "visually gorgeous"? Come on...There are a lot of problems with the visuals here.

Sam Valentine acting felt more than a bit robotic and unnatural, and camera placement felt very functional. Not sure what to think, because Simon thinks about this stuff.

Alec T I agree about the acting. "Functional" is probably the best thing anyone could say about camera. The way he placed the camera in the room was weird to me from a cinematographer's perspective, but I don't think it's jarring enough for the average person to notice. Though there is definitely a missing shot from her POV looking at the empty kitchen area before the flashback. The way it is now we just have to assume it's the same space. Really there just wasn't enough coverage and I don't think the camera was used to help tell the story, instead it was just there to capture the image. Nothing wrong with that really, I just would have expected more given that this seems to be an exercise in visual storytelling.

Brian Nguyen can you tell me what's the story about, I'm really curious about what happened to that red sweater lady

Brian Nguyen I didn't get the story tho.

My interpretation is that the red sweater is a remnant of a past relation ship as well as the piano. I think the story is about her getting over the lose of a loved one

exactly!

Brian Nguyen if the lady died, how come the sweater is hanging in the couch like it was used a few hours ago

nah you can still see the vignetting and border on the top right and bottom right

@@elijahpollard6828 Sure, but it looks digitally added or something. Doesn't match the other footage per say

Andrey Kim good point. I think the placement has a lot to with that as well. I'm wondering why we didn't start from the sweater's POV when she entered the room. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the camera to be where it is in the first 10 secs or so.

Oh, I did not hit that goddamn bell!

Beautiful Simon, easy to follow with no dialogue and relatable. The footage and location are amazing too

ZXQaos she actually does have a bag that she sets down when she enters at the start. Although I agree something about it looked unnatural. I think it was more about how it was shot.

MrFed1994 i believe this is his portfolio

yes it is, i wasn't suggesting he'd remove it from here, just upload it on both channels... it could reach a different audience

well, to be fair, i think people are watching it here because they found it over there. SO in other words, what difference does it make lol To your point, maybe people might not feel like clicking through, but either way, he made the existence known over at the other channel, so it's getting eyeballs on it nonetheless

Then someone would start a rant over him being "money hungry."

(It is NOT DSLR either...) This is a FILM piece. I'm going to check in the Vimeo arena for it... :O

meowma I noticed that too. Maybe it adds to the retro style of the cinematography, things a little quirky and out of place makes the short look more of a older classic film. Also the Foley being slightly out of place in areas could reflect on the story on how the girl's emotion is a bit out of place. Sort of thing. Martin Scorsese did this for 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. When you watch it you might think that it was poorly edited every now and then but Scorsese did this on purpose, to try imitate the feelings of drug use.

Bad quality experience?

Harry Robins Yes it looks bad, but it adds a layer of nostalgia to the video. Makes it look "old".

It just makes the picture look awful. Film is gorgeous.

Gabriel Silveira Quality doesn't matter if the content is amazing. In this case, it's true. In my opinion, 360p gives it a retro look that simply adds a feeling of nostalgia to the film. I just like it more that way. If you think 1080p looks better, go for it. Whatever floats your boat man. ^_^

you are right

needless. the idea is to transmit only with images
