Thanks for the compliment...and subsequent analysis!

Seriously though - the bad puns are courtesy of the writer, the colors courtesy of the DP, and the relationship dynamic is all the actors. It's easy to direct when your cast and crew and script rock!

This may be my favorite of your shorts. Love the contrasting colors and bad puns. But what puts it over the top is that in only a few minutes, it illustrates the dynamics of reconciliation in a relationship: each person comes to see the other's perspective.
