Short Film Narratives: Guesses and Potentials


Holding Hands
This is about a man who struggles to win the losing battle of keeping in time with the world. Just like The Butterfly Effect, this about someone who desperately tries to take hold of what has caused great misfortune - the hands of time. As time constantly jumps backwards, Jake tries to fit himself back into normality. However, no matter how hard he tries to catch up with the world, it is only a matter of time that he can break the chain of eternal drag and finish the chase of horror.


-It’s all about time jumping. The story could change. But it’s all about time jumping.


Double Vision
Set in the realms of a secondary school, this film explores the juxtapositions of reality and fantasy. With an avant garde Outer Space inspired film-layering effect, we follow the lives of half a dozen people who get a form of double vision - a split between two sights, one which is of their existing surroundings, and another which is a veil, where their imagination dictates their sight. With the two (contrasting) perspectives, the layers present viewers with both a surreal and intriguing insight to what the chosen few see - both through their eyes and through their minds.



Draw!
A witty and playful story. In a casual class of the norm, a bored but creative student sets the trend of bringing his illustrations of objects to life. Beginning with a picture of a pound coin, which is then screwed up into a ball and reopened, the doodle becomes reality, creating a whole new way of living for the fortunate. The film progresses through time with the gifted, following his day-to-day routines become an utter play, not too long before we discover the downfall to his trickery, with outsiders joining in turning life into a curse - of both normality and artistry.

Well there's 3 out of 5, just like I said not 6 days ago. However, it was not at the Wrong Un, Turnpike or Club Sushi that these ideas were brought to play. Not even Burger King brought the best out of me.
It's those pesty but gorgeous indulgancies you see, take years to conquer their obese ways...

This week? International Pokemon Day. Was nice. Myself and a fellow Gensanist shared my Gameboy, as we roamed through the battles of Misty, Gary, and the Golden Bridge. And don't forget, Charizard made a special appearance at the Turn' (Blastoise has hibernated, he seizes to exist...). All of this accompanied by an iscolated watch of the first ever episode, Volcanic Panic and Mewtwo's debut prescence - All. Damn. Good.

Yesterday - work. I officially want to be made redundant, believe me.
Well isn't it a good thing that the dearest made a beautiful demonstration of alcohol abuse then?
She fought the law.
The law won.
Memo: Animatrix was an amazing buy! £2!? Overly worth it. The visuals are nothing short of astonishing, varying in tones, colours and textures. World Record is a beautiful short, it has such an honest portrayal of the experience and feeling of sprinting.
Me wants to go running.
Me go run out window.
Me go crying for mummy.
Me wants running to hurt less.
A new commitment today... writing. Making a second attempt, the first retry in over a few years. Once there's some managed material, I'll let you nosey buggers know.
Deal? I bloody thought so.

Nice ideas!

I see that Outer Space inspired you then! hehe. I think you should search out some of Tscherkassky's other avant garde films. They are amazing. The Avant Garde rules okay! XD

International Pokemon day... ahh, i miss it already. "You got done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" haha.

Gensanity lives! Any non believers...we'll do em! No...there is only one way to settle that... Cake or death!

Keep on blogging buddy!
