Opposites Attract. The Sea Separates Us. And Bottles Bring Us Together.

So sad. I still imagine that they are together, somehow. As far as physics go, they really aren't dead. The sand is still sand, and snow girl just turned into water. They still made it to each other, and you can't make me believe otherwise.

What I want to know is exactly how long it took to shoot this five minute film.

The still photograph to the right is from a scene that took all day to shoot. The way the sun light moves through the trees tells how long it took. I aplaude the perseverance of the filmmaker, because I would have walked away from the film a long time ago.

The blinking screen shot below was probably my favorite shot in the entire film- creative and thoughtful.

The film has a sense of humor to it that is refreshing. The last two animated films the class has watched left the viewers with a sense of intensity or confusion. This one, while we are left to decide what happens to the main characters, actually leaves us on a complete and good note without being cheesy about it.
