I'm about to play breakout vector. This video has been floating around the film design and cinemtography community for a few days. You have to see it. From a design standpoint, it's f'ing stunning.
It was alright. I was hoping for more play on the element where the kid hits the desks and the room around him shakes with the force of it, or the point where the two kids leap at one another and seem to rebound off of nothing.
The rest of the video reminded me heavily of the broken cinimatography found in modern Japanese horror and once I realized that I felt myself growing tense because of it. An interesting thing to watch to be sure. -D
I think it did such a good job of capturing the frenetic frustration of being twelve, wanting to emulate their heroes and doing so only crudely, having absolutely no idea what the future will hold, the worries, the angst for no good reason, the despair that comes from exagerrated hopes.
I *was*, however, seeing the "frenetic frustration". Specifically, an undirected rage and a violent need for motion -- both of which are things I remember about being that age. Oddly enough, I also remember tensing my limbs in odd positions to try and _control_ that rage and need - something which shows up repeatly in the video.
I'm having trouble finding information about Carpark North that isn't in Danish. Googling for the lyrics didn't help. I only found one site that had lyrics after several searches, and the lyrics were the only thing in English.
The children are on one hand beautiful, and on the other hand break my heart.
