You really must see it. Half of the seniors saw it in our Sound and Motion class, but le big screen will be muchas besser! See how I seamlessly integrated four languages in one sentence? Impressive, huh?

It was an excellent short film. An interesting series of photographs that are timed in a way to create a narrative. It's a very inspiring film toward sound and motion.
The overall aesthetic was completely opposite of the "futuristic" story line which I thought was interesting. The sound of the loud whispering that wasn't translated into english made a powerful soundtrack and pulled you into the tension and underlying secrecy in the plot.
Also the surprise of actual motion graphics or film appearing for a second was a nice touch
to create variety.
Great film and i think could make a good project for the future sound and motion classes.
