  6. Technically – a good photoshoot video… but not much story as a “short film” would indicate… I would consider this more of a VERY good video photoshoot than a “short film”.

  8. In my opinion, it’s pretty good. a little long for my taste, but good. the only real negative for me is the use of such an iconic song. speaking of, i feel Wong Kar Wai…

  9. I’ve been doing a general survey of fashion films. My 1st impression: don’t try to tell stories. I have seen 1 or 2 that look like they were shot by photographers – gorgeous but oddly static – but for the most part, the big lesson seems to be: avoid storytelling – especially with voice overs.

    However, the most engaging seem to have a ‘story’ in a very minimalist, abstract sense, for example cross cutting between a woman and man travelling to meet each other. They meet. Life is beautiful. Nice clothes. The end.

    Stunning work! I wouldn’t call this a fashion film necessarily in any case – it’s a portrait. It says so in the title.

  11. For me it is a beautiful piece of ART. Pure en simple in a positiv way. Great lightning. No ‘screaming’ tricks. A beautiful girl, water some light and a camera. And of course a couple of people who did something beautiful with it. Great idea.

  14. GREAT ARGUMENT FOR THE STORY TELLING REQUISITE! the experience of any motion picture does not require a story! great work my friend.

  16. Pretty film, love the lighting, model and framing. I’m trying not to get into the storytelling discussion but…
    I think it would have made a more strong film if it had been edited shorter, keeping in the essential shots to make the ‘story’ stronger. That’s why it seems long to some, of course not to the person who shot the images, because they wanted to get all of the shots in there.

  18. surprised that nobody noted how difficult a task you gave the model……and how nicely she did………

    interesting peace of music…..still i guess some of the criticism might have been due to its obviously carrying an epic tone, of things happening etc….

    i found very enjoyable to watch your video to the following tunes, you might want to follow me so i gave the links:

    Miranda Barber – My Roof Has Got a Holy In It

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdrpZLgS_AA

    Hana Fahy – Slide

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZp6JjM2Q9E

    They really go well together. I may be biased though, those tune are something i like so much anyway, and those singing birds are my favorite artists/performers.

    I have taken an other approach to going with music and your video. And i think – perhaps not only eclectic but also excentric – that good trance is the kind of music that will make you forget about the need for “stories” here, and lead you to the kind of perception of time relevant and suitable here.

    Attention!, the following tunes will provoke your ears a little, but if you understand trance, you will be in the bathtub with her i promise…. 🙂

    High energy goa trance by Khetzal:

    Listening Winds – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qhxgZGW49E

    Anamatha – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgRWcRhqifs

    (i am always looping both tunes and vids 😉 )

    I must specify i went to bed with this video and i woke up with it, it got me up and i couldnt get it out of my mind. And i believe the touchstone of erotic art is if a work is capable to develope your orgasmic culture……

    May i call this work somehow interdisciplinary? Digging your stills at your website, quality stuff……

    May a call it a kind of moving stills where the motion means that it leads up to the climaxes which are the best still that could be taken from it?

    Anyway the criticism is irrelevant if you go new ways, it can – however be – a way to tell you: go all the way through.

    Well, some wont forgive me the essay style i am going into so….., but i have something more for you, i mean i would like to tell you something, what occurred to me….and if you are interested, read the mail i am going to send you soon.

    p.s. what a missed so painfully was a glimpse of her feet… 😉

  19. This is very beautiful, and the girl is very beautiful but I was attracted the ‘provocative’ part of the caption for the ‘film’. I was waiting throughout for some kind of image that provoked, that created some kind of idea, insight, thought. But all I got was a series of stunningly shot stuff of a beautiful, mainly nude woman – nothing ‘provocative’, surely.

    Lots of discussions on here about it needing a story to be a film – which is true to an extent. You need some kind of message or idea in a piece for it to be a film as opposed to – which this is – an erotic/fashion/art video where there is nothing but pretty visuals without any attempt to send a message or provoke thought. This is aesthetics, not storytelling. You don’t need a plot and dialogue and all that – but you do need an idea, a message, a story through images. This does not have that. If someone asked, ‘what’s the film about?’, the answer, ‘a nude girl in a bathtub and in a room,’ does not make a film but a video.

    Which is fine – it is beautiful – as is she, but it’s not about anything. It’s mislabelled, that’s all. As a ‘provocative’ film it won’t win any awards – as a short erotic piece or nude art or fashion it’s gorgeous.

  20. This is inspiring.

    I also agree that the point of visual art is the experience and the feeling that one can derive from the visual subject. For me, this worked.

  22. Good job, I do not find this to be boring, just a bit slow in the way images are presented, but in general good job. A bit of work on the storyboard will help next time but great job.

  24. Great shots, great atmospheres, I love how all this has been done really photographically! The model did an excellent job!

  25. I see there’s a ongoing debate about story vs. no story here… I’ll put it short, I enjoyed watching and I really like the video; what really wins me though is the music! Great, the music is the real star here. This is one of the short films that the video accompanies the audio, really rare and not to be underestimated, it’s not easy to create a video that leaves space to let the music star the film without getting boring.

  26. Ultimately, pieces like this are meant to imply story rather than spoon feed it as in straight narrative.
    Because of corporate control of media and sheer volume of it nowadays, we tend to judge content by conventional story, action, visual bling or comedic zinger to cap off a clip. Frantic pacing and the overall rush to tell a story with the obligatory twists and turns is a formula that can and must be broken by smaller, independent pieces like this one. So yes, I agree it is limited in its scope and does repeat the hook shots a few too many times, but the slowing down of pacing and use of implied story to make the viewer fill in the blanks is commendable. I always enjoy this genre.
