A Story for Tomorrow

http://vimeo.com/36519586

Oh man. I'm not sure where to start with this one. I think this film is just so intelligent. The pace kept me at ease until I felt like I wanted to run with the story and, exactly at that moment, the film picked up. The beginning brought me serenity and patience and the pace helped me to notice every little thing in every shot. I also was extremely impressed when I watched it a second time and started to think about all of the places the artist needed to leave the camera just to get a shot of him walking up a sand dune for 20 seconds or driving down a road for 10.

The amount of effort that goes into films really is what is so inspiring to me, almost more than the content sometimes. I happen to enjoy most everything I saw in this film since I am very moved by nature, but in general, I tend to have an automatic appreciation for a film once I start to realize how much effort went into it.

I think the music also just kind of exists with the film and brings the film forward/keeps it in motion rather than distracting the audience. That was impressive to me as well.

The amount of motion in the end of the film just really made me think about how I could do something like this, how I could live a more exciting life...just so many things. It made me want to travel more and do what I love. I love when that occurs by simply watching other people travel and do what they love.

A strong film.
