This is a French silent film about love and loss. I was really inspired by the music that accompanies this piece, and I loved the grainy, cut-up look of the footage in ESCARGOTS, and the idea for it just sort of popped in my head, so here it is.

And here is where I must admit: French is my third language (the first being Swedish, the second English), and sometimes it really shows. I don't speak it on a daily basis and I found myself struggling with the correct words and sentence structure. Hopefully a native speaker can let me know what rubbish I've done with their poor language and is willing to help me out.


The English translation of the mini-story I wrote:

The days have become lonely, and gray.

I have become nothing. I do not exist anymore, only between the shadows.

Remember our first meeting?

There was this color. I loved every part of you.

Your eyes, your laughter. The beauty of your bones.

But now you are gone.

I live in a fog.

I cannot live without you.

So I will not.

A little song I made, inpsired by this pic.

I'm making friends with the commode.

Real Drums, Real Banjo, Real Room, Tons of Compression, Tons of Fun, Ohhhmmmmmm

I was just goofing around at home and wanted to use my camera- it would be awesome if anyone could use it or add to it- music or sound effects- even new images or lighting etc. Depending on feedback I might try to re-shoot it and spend more time with it.

Oh man this took me two days to get into the right dimensions!! I spent about a week editing this, and I'm still not happy with it, but by jove I've had it! I hope it atleast can provide a framework for other people to edit to, if nothing else.

Ooh I meant to say- there's a few bits of public domain film in this too, from archive.org. Mostly the black and white animation bits, the exploding buildings at the end and the woman on fire.
