elevator pitch!

1. It's called Holy Moments, and it's a short romantic piece with a boy and a girl, sitting on a rooftop at night, all sparkly stars and big bright moon, staring into each other's eyes, looking deep, and finding a moment of intense connection, of absolute vulnerability, without words or music or dialogue, just looking, intently, intensely - looking.

2. New Year's Eve an hour before midnight and the whole thing is sparks in soft focus and silhouettes, soft booms from popping bottle rockets overhead, sparklers waved through the air and a feeling of lightness, vibrancy, youth and excitement, fun for fun's sake and celebration, excitement, anticipation.

3. It's like a walk through the forest, with the sense of indeterminate time you experience staring into branches or looking over the landscape, feeling a breeze blow across your face, a sense of the infinite and present all at once, surrounded by ancient trees producing falling leaves, peaceful, calm, limitless, just shaking branches, just whispering grass.

  1. I'm confused as to how some of these relate to the idea of one hour of time. The second one seems to be the most relevant and the most intriguing. You have a lot of freedom to make it more interesting with the course of events that happens in the hour before midnight. I wonder how you would film it though, there are some technical issues that need to be addressed, such as the filming of fireworks.

  2. I agree. The second one seems like the one that has the most potential, although I do wonder how you plan to create the effects. Fireworks or photoshop? Make sure you consider the materials you use and the colors they make when they explode. Consider the meaning behind each explosion as it could really enhance the overall expierence. Either way, the shapes and colors will make for a visually rich experience.
