Rivers running red


There's this short film that I saw on CBC ZeD sometime in between 2001-2004 before they cancelled that fabulous show. I think about this film semi-often. It really affected my brain at the time and it stuck there. I just remember sneaking out of bed to watch this show in the middle of the night in the dark, and this short came on. It was super simple. All it was was a red color being dropped into water really slow motion like. It looked like blood, the sound track was really soft and kind of eiree. As the color dropped, pin-points would appear on it with words you couldn't quite read, like each cell in the blood had it's on story to tell. A good reminder that things don't have to be over the top to be affective. Keeping it simple, with sincerity and putting it together well.



And since we're on the theme of dispersing color, I thought I'd add this one too.
