After-Moby

 

A beautiful video about the loss - of love, innocence and youth; a worthy winner of the 21st Saatchi & Saatchi New Director's Showcase. The cinematography's lovely, as is the use of vivid imagery. Almost haunting, in fact. Somehow, the protagonist reminds me a wee bit of Richard III. That being said, perhaps I'm being anal retentive here I'm somewhat bothered by the opening shot - my mind convinces me that the video would look more visually coherent had it been taken from a front view. Also, the vehicle that passed by in that same shot. yes I'm most definitely being anal here.


Regardless, beautiful video.
