Adding Shadows

Amazing short film. Though it may seem to have no real plot, it holds so much emotion it its loose story frame.

The colors are what drew me to the film in the first place. The vivid reds that seem to practically vibrate between the film's central figure and the red tree.

Lately bright colors have been inspiring me a lot. Partially because of influences from one of my dearest friends, Hillary. Because truly truly truly, colors are practically her life. I love them, but I can't say they hold the same deep meaning to me, though they do completely tie into art (which is what has managed to completely engulf my life currently). So it sort of seems like a contradiction. Immediately the word art brings all these vivid images of markers and paints and clay and colored glass. All of these sharp colors just swirling around looking for a placement in the piece. All set juxtaposed they create something, something beautiful and vivid.

Maybe, I'm her opposite. Because I see color like everyone else I suppose but instead I see it both as a color but most importantly a shadow or a hue. Color's power isn't in its actual color it's in the shadow for me. However, the brighter the color the darker and intense and deeper the shadow which really really creates an amazing effect. Therefore, I feel as if I can still relate to what she feels. Which is all very helpful for my concentration pieces on her and her dreams and color. I don't think I'd be able to achieve such a realistic result which such insane colors if it weren't for this shadow vision ability.

I call it my shutter vision because it kinda works like a camera shutter. Black and white is what holds all the beauty to me. All the swirling and shades and contrast it can create by intermingling with... /everything/. Add shadows to a music and see what happens, I assure you it's magic.

I know the shadows prevent everything from being beautiful and colorful but, I wouldn't have it any other way. I find it dull and I find it harsh and abstract and neverending, and it's the most beautiful way I percieve things.

Amazing right? Just like the video and just like her and just like all the shadows in the world.
