Featured review
A video recorded on a cell phone that portrays street signs and words that create a touching message.
This video is very moving and touching. It explores the realm of man kind and the way poor people live. The signs and words portrayed in the video present a message that enables the viewer to feel a connection with what the director was saying and feeling. This video expresses difficult but true circumstances of life and gives great insight into creating a better world all around. I liked the creativity of this short film. The technique was not only unique but also eye- catching. It created a touching story as well as a good, true view of life's troubles. A truly amazing short film. I also enjoyed the film because of the use of technology. This video exemplified the fact that no matter what the idea, one is capable of capturing any image, even with the simplest forms of technology. Technology should not hold one back from creating a masterpiece. You never know what you're capable of until you try. This film showed this perfectly. The use of a cell phone is what struck me the most. That means ANYONE can make a short film. The creativity is the key to making an impacting film. This is my favorite short film because of its expressions, music, use of resources, the signs, and the portrayal of real life circumstances. It all ties together perfectly.
