This short film portrays a deer and a wolf trapped together in a white box of a room. Following with their natural instincts and positioning in the food chain, I expected the wolf to pounce on the deer at any moment – quite an uneasy feeling for someone who doesn't like gore. For some reason, this never happens (oops, spoiler alert). The animals seem oddly out of their element set against a white background and don't know what to do with themselves. Lost and confused, they wander around as Cantor shoots them at various angles. There were extreme close ups as well as farther off shots, some of just the deer, some of just the wolf, and some together. I thought the quality of the color and detail in the fur was absolutely beautiful. Trying out video art after photography, I have been finding it difficult to take videos of things that are more still because they don't seem as interesting to me. Watching this film, though, completely proved me wrong. I made up the story in my head about the two characters, even though they weren't doing much of anything. Hopefully thinking about this film will give me more confidence when I'm shooting as well.
