Hey there,
Here is a link to my Bournemouth uni masters project:

http://www.streetlightmedia.co.uk/Semblance

a short about a man who lives in isolation and makes clay figures to keep him company.

And if anyone has a spare moment:

Any crits would be very welcome, would love to know whats working and whats lame..
Want it to be a Generalist reel, no sound at mo..will be a reworking of music in 'semblance'

Thanks for your time

Ben

A great movie...wow. :-) Is there also a Version on Vimeo? Or is it possible to place it there? I would like to tell the people about this movie and embed it there...

I like it in spite of it feeling so lonely, but that lends to the fatidic nature of the piece, so if that was your intent you succeeded in spades. Nicely done.

My only question is why does the man stand to place the figures on the table? It feels as though he's going to get up and leave but instead just sits again after setting the sculptures down. Was this intentional?

Bravo!

Cheers for comments,

meetinx: I have just uploaded a version onto vimeo now, glad you liked it.

CyberGolem: i was indeed aiming for a very lonely/isolated feel, i wanted to get across the idea that the clay figures he makes are intended to both keep him company, and consolidate his existence.
interesting what you say about him standing up, i have had someone else comment on that too, the reason behind it was because i wanted you to get the feeling every single clay figure was meticously/obsessively placed, and the same action was seeming too throwaway when he stayed sitting...anyway im rambling now, cheers for your comments



Cheers
