parallelism (conceptual short film) from nacho mayals mira, videographer on Vimeo.

I’m not sure I really “get” this film. It won recognition at two different festivals, and with the caption info and the last 30 seconds, I think I get the gist, but it also just kind of looks like a snail to me. HOWEVER, I do find the way that it was made very interesting. I think its a really great use of focus manipulation and depth of field shifts. Also, I think it is a great example of a project that works much better in black and white. I do not think “the videographer” would have achieved the same emotional effect if he had produced it in color. But like I said, this video is pretty weird.
