Due to an unfortunate scheduling conflict (somebody fire my secretary...) I was unable to attend my first week of tutes for any subject. Working the Avalon Air Show, what up. But now I'm here and not going anywhere. Coming into week 2 of this Film/TV tute I was already a little behind, not having uploaded my short film idea onto the Film/TV blog. But not to worry, I wrote it all down in a little book and was all ready to sell my heart wrenching, tear jerking idea...until it was explicitly suggested that we do not write our stories around 85 year old men and women. Ummm... yeah. Time for a new idea. I don't even know why I centered it around old people...I don't even really like old people (best you know now that I'm not a particularly saintly person and my morals are shaky at best).

So out with the old (so to speak), in with the new. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but when I think of a film as short as 5 minutes, all of my ideas are primarily based around a visual experience and implied story, rather than one with heavy dialogue and narrative. I prefer creative short films where there is a storyline, but it is told in an unconventional way and is very stimulating visually and aurally. Here are some example of some of my favourite little films that follow this:

VANESSA BRUNO

Vanessa Bruno from POP Magazine on Vimeo.

DANIEL ASKILL- WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO DIE

We Have Decided Not To Die from Sion Roberts on Vimeo.

PAS DE DEUX CODA

Pas de Deux Coda from Opening Ceremony on Vimeo.

These have quite ambiguous and fantastical narratives, but so pretty. My story idea has a little more guts to it, but you see what I mean I think.
