I saw this a LONG time ago on your site and I have been looking for this. This is my favorite short ever. Maybe my favorite video ever. Also I am totally in love with that girl, she is so cute.
Someone posted this at a small group site I go to, and we had a grand time analyzing and picking it apart intellectually. It's just completely steeped in symbolism and hidden imagery from start to finish, I really love it. Very well done, this deserves to win awards.
Why Thanks very much, It's nice to know people are still watching this I thought peoples interests in it had all dried up but it's great to know it's still being enjoyed. Highly appreciate the post
I think your ending is what killed it for me. You had some nice looking girl going along doing whatever and I'm thinking to myself "OK why am I watching this....oh here is the colors...OK...field of grass and more animation stuff...whatever that means". So we watch that for a bit...and just as that starts to get old and boring you cut to some slasher scene for...shock effect?
Yeah...coulda been cool I guess but your ending just made it stupid.
After looking at your profile and noticing there are a load of comments indicating you're a massive cunt, I think it's fair to say this comment is worthless.
Seems like you could do most of these color tricks faster in Photoshop, but I'm not a special FX guru. Anyway, go for a more concise narrative short film with dialogue and you could probably do something pretty cool. As is, the first minute of this seems totally pointless, and with no sound or dialogue it's basically a music video and not a movie. Of course, if you have no interest in being a professional film director ignore everything I said and do whatever you like.
Looking back on all the youtube videos I've seen in 2009, and I've seen many. This one is the one I always remember the most. I vote it, best youtube short film of 2009.
I want to know more about the story. Who is the guy? How did the girl get there? How long has she been there? Where was she before he captured her? What exactly is he doing with all those blood bags? Is he about to do what most viewers think when he reaches under the blanket? I'd have liked to have seen more of the story. I want to know more about the ideas behind the movie. I want to know what went on inside the writer's head when coming up with this story. Will there be a sequel?
@jely137 , I think the story is self explanitory. This "wonderful world" she is in is a hallucination brought on by some form of drug her capture has been administering to her.
I count myself lucky that my laptop won't run this in HD, otherwise my appreciation of the editing, colouring and music would have been completely overshadowed by the sight of some vellus hair on a girl's upper lip. The reality of women's bodies is nauseating and sinful and I will destroy them all yet oh yes oh yes. (I particularly like that some people seem to regard this as a technical shortcoming on your part, Ben!)
Hy Ben! That was a great movie, and very nice editing. I hope you make more of this:) but i think you are so tired. i rate it 5. After effects, ok, but How? Could you make a tutorial for this? Sorry for my english, I dont speak very well, Cause I am from Hungary... Greeting from Hungary.
Glad you enjoyed it :) , thanks very much for the feedback. I use an FX1 and edit with Premiere and special effects + grading is done in After Effects
Simply brilliant. I love how simple clues like calendar and cookbook say "hey, something is wrong here" but soundtrack makes it look cute. Without this song in background the plot would be straightforward.
Way to go! I was thinking,'Cool music video, pretty girl, nice song...' then about the time it started to get blahzay,KABAM! You hit us like a ton of bricks tossed off a speeding truck. I love movies that do that. Came up with one today myself coincidentally. Nice work, and... sorry about the corneas.
Your effort is reflected in this piece dude, you work hard and you have created a great ambient in all the video, and the break whas absolutely stunning.
I really... hm... HATE Mallu Magalhães, but your vid's so cool. I like the way you edit, and hm, I hope that someday I could do something like that. Srry for my bad english, I'm brazillian :) Well, I love the end, make's the video looks special, different, unpredictable. The way you filmed the guy that kidnapped her... I really enjoyed. Love it :)
Simples, ela estava num mundo colorido, bonito, com elefantes rosas, enfim, um delírio. No fim explica como ela podia viver naquele mundo tão 'fofo' e 'lindinho'
Wow...very good. Great casting too...she's just wonderful. Pretty and charming.
I'd like to see this in reverse order too - the ending as the beginning. I think it would make it both creepier and happier (maybe just less sad) at the same time, as her torment becomes an escapist fantasy, whilst you are still aware she is in the hands of a maniac.
Anyway, congratulations and, truly, thank you for this video.
primeiramente eu vi o video. ai eu falei comigo mesmo pra mim. "dorgas mano iar iar" .. ai achei o final do video. ai falei bem baixinho, "dorgas mano iar iarzinho" ai vi os creditos. e vi que foi usada uma camera fx1 da sony, sorri uns 26 segundos ai voltei ao normal ai falei, " MAE ME FAX UNS BIXCOITOS AI.
Tens que mudar de videoclip para este!!! É só tirar a parte final... Porque isto está absolutamente excepcional! Transmite uma enorme sensação de alegria.... estou absolutamente sem palavras...
Youtube didn't let me comment, I will try one more time.
I loved the "happy" part of the movie, it was everything perfect. But I got shocked like everybody was on the second part, but after thinking you can at least have some ideia why.
Excellent video, excellent song (In my opinion Mallu Magalhães is a fantastic singer, and I had an opportunity to see her show).
I just wanna thank tou for this job and hope you can provide us some more new videos.

what an amazing waste of time for most. Yes, great editing, but you could have edited out the nasty tooth she has and the hairy upper lip! I can't see any reason to do something like this unless you are a film student experimenting.
