  A window frame

  I very much like the composition of this piece, a small square window in a dark frame with a single fragment of light. Unfortunately I do not feel that the film offers enough, minimalist setting, no cuts, minimalist music and actions from the single character do not provoke deep thought as a short film. Perhaps as an installation this piece would work better - the images and... I very much like the composition of this piece, a small square window in a dark frame with a single fragment of light.
  
  Unfortunately I do not feel that the film offers enough, minimalist setting, no cuts, minimalist music and actions from the single character do not provoke deep thought as a short film. Perhaps as an installation this piece would work better - the images and sound acting as a springboard for the viewers own imagination.
  
  As a film however the lack of anything happening makes viewing more a chore than a pleasure. Perhaps a simple, slow dolly forward or out (revealing more as it pulls back) or a more forthright symbolism might have made this film more accessible, but to me it feels that it relies too much on the generosity of its viewers.
  
  Technically the shot is hampered by excessive video noise, almost inevitable with most low-mid end cameras in low light. read

  Nothing

  Unfortunately for me this video didn't work. The most tense filled moments were the music, but the visual was a great nothing. There is a man in the house and then there was a man out of the house. I don't know if it was the same man, and if it wasn't, it didn't matter because he did nothing. Like the rest of the video. The house shot was nice, but after a few seconds, the... Unfortunately for me this video didn't work. The most tense filled moments were the music, but the visual was a great nothing. There is a man in the house and then there was a man out of the house. I don't know if it was the same man, and if it wasn't, it didn't matter because he did nothing. Like the rest of the video. The house shot was nice, but after a few seconds, the visual became boring. Next time please make something happen. A one shot of a house is not enough to carry a film. read

  Mirror, Mirror on the Wall. What Is the Meaning of It All?

  #1_Confusion indeed! I don't if I'd need to see the others in this series as well to be able to glean the overall meaning of this piece (as I saw a #3_Light among your other work). I kind of obtained the meaning from the title "Confusion" the description and the listless maneuvering of the figure. The blackness and the mirror represented a reflection of a self possibly hindered... #1_Confusion indeed!

  Personally, I prefer some narrative in my films. Even if those narratives are plotless and used only for conveying art, mood, expression. Think "Eraserhead". This is a single shot that could have been a still photograph. I enjoyed the soundtrack, but I felt the piece needed more. Perhaps inter-cutting other images to create juxtaposition? Maybe some camera movement? The man... Personally, I prefer some narrative in my films. Even if those narratives are plotless and used only for conveying art, mood, expression. Think "Eraserhead". This is a single shot that could have been a still photograph. I enjoyed the soundtrack, but I felt the piece needed more. Perhaps inter-cutting other images to create juxtaposition? Maybe some camera movement? The man walking in front isn't quite enough to express any type of emotion to your viewer. There should be more going on. read

  I am trying to figure out where this was going. And i just don't understand it. Can barely see it and yeah the synopsis is the only interesting part. Don't stop what your doing maybe one day you can get your vision on the screen. right now i am just not seeing it.

  I'd like to give the filmmaker the benefit of the doubt that a lot is lost watching it on a small screen, however, this film fails to ask itself the most important question: "Should I be a film?" When the synopsis (which was just a poem) is considered the answer is no. It is a poem, it could be a short story, even a painting, but it doesn't justify itself as a film. The use... I'd like to give the filmmaker the benefit of the doubt that a lot is lost watching it on a small screen, however, this film fails to ask itself the most important question: "Should I be a film?" When the synopsis (which was just a poem) is considered the answer is no. It is a poem, it could be a short story, even a painting, but it doesn't justify itself as a film. The use of the english language is strong in the synopsis, but the use of "film language" is missing entirely. read
