This is probably one of my favorite shorts that i have watched lately, really moving. showing how the girl can start of with the embarrassment to be with her grandfather, then remorse for her actions and then back to empathy for her grandfather and the situation that he is in.
The film has a feel of slowness and peacefulness that runs through it by the slow cuts and just the hand held camera shots that give the viewer an gaze into this girls sorrows of having to spend a day with her grandfather. it works well the way on the sequence when the girl and her grandfather are having a cup of tea and the camera is filming from the other arm chair almost gives the feeling that the you the viewer are in the room with them.
hope you enjoy.

"The Story Beyond The Still: The Cabbie from Vincent Laforet on Vimeo.

When I was asked to interpret this still, a thousand different ideas flooded my mind. I wanted to create a dynamic film that took the audience on a journey and showed off the many strengths of this new breed of HD DSLR cameras, such as the Canon 7D, which we shot this film with. The camera's low light capabilities and light weight allow you to do things you'd never think to try with traditional cameras. This has been an amazing experience and it’s just the beginning.
I hope you enjoy this short - we had a blast making it!"

I really like this short form vincent lafroat, i love the way the story has been based on the orginal photograph this has made me think of how i could do similar ideas based on photographs i have. i like this way of thinking, how when we see any photograph people try to put some sort of meaning or try to understand the "story" behind the image. this is ones man video on his imagination of what could happen to the teddy bear. i cant wait to see how the story continues.

This has given me an idea of taking photos i see and writing a story behind or about it. try and get out of hole of sitting at my desk trying to think of a bases for short films. when i can just use a photo and my imagination and see where it takes me.

please comment on your own ideas of how the story could continue, or how using this method has helped you if it has.

look forward to hearing your ideas and stories...many thanks Tom Jeffery
