    I've never seen someone with such deliberate but natural facial expressions as Tim. I feel like he's spent thousands of hours in a mirror perfecting his craft

      thats what i like best about tim key. his brain must be processing so much at once to get timing. sidekick simon on this time is insane for this. absolutely hilarious. i think time always plays himself in every role. gifted

    An intimate chat/date embedded with poems delivered in such mannerism. Each close up shot you're being served with beautiful actings of expressions that looked struggling & awkward.
    The relief moments when each character smiled bring butterflies in my stomach.

    There comes a point when I swear Tim looks as though he's shrunk. Like he's not to scale. It might be the size of the chair stools on the left and How tall Marling looks, but it's like a strange illusion. It's almost like a very fitting nuance as to what's actually happening in the scene. Either way, Tim Key is a vast range of complimentary words, none of which I have decided to mention. But they're all there.

      Can’t say for certain what’s being done here but if you’re on a “Zoom Lens” like an 18-85 for example changing the lens from tight to wide can achieve the shift in perspective size of subjects from the center of the frame and towards the edge of frame. Generally speaking a wide lens close up will distort out, and an tight or “long lens” will distort in. This by itself may probably wouldn’t give the desired effect, but I suspect that’s why they hid it in a pull back or “Dolly Back” where the camera physically moves back either on a slider or dolly, which in this instance could help keep the composition frame roughly the same thus making the change more subtle. However it was done it was a lovely little bit of intentional filmmaking and I appreciated it.

      @UClR5eMjw0I5zSAL8SSgq8kQ Thanks for asking. I love the shot when Tim is sat at his litle round table, quite isolated not only for it's visual quality but also as I suppose it was intended to represent one's feelings when we're making a choice to engage on some level, especially when we feel isolated. Hence his little table and Laura's response, self-effacing. We can all find traps in the forest of the self if we're not careful or in good company that helps us coppice it. It was a really lovely short film. Hope that was ok for you. Sorry about the odd forest metaphor.

    @SerendipityChild Před 2 lety +3

    He's searching for beautiful reflections of himself in the glass of a gilded streetfront: hungry to see himself framed by the beautiful and unattainable.
    Instead of a reflection, a flattering illusion, his vision shifts and just for a moment he has a glimpse through the window.
    And sees her looking out. Straight at him.

    • @jamesbaynton1881
      @jamesbaynton1881 Před 3 lety +5

      Hey, I don't think there is a moral. But there is something to learn, perhaps about empathy, for those who desperately need a little recognition. The story isn't about his feelings for her, it's maybe about his loneliness. He smiles at the end not because she gives him a little recognition, and that's enough for him. Loneliness is part of life, and may especially touch someone like him, who is shy, lives in a big city, works in an isolated way and is old enough to have lost friends through time. Maybe.

    • @marcusjames-
      @marcusjames- Před 6 lety

      TassyDevil04 is it comedy? Is it emotive? Both? Feels like an extract rather than a short film. Perhaps more context is needed. He flirts, yet is married and doesn’t seem the type to cheat. Almost like a serial killer?!

    • @TassyDevil04
      @TassyDevil04 Před 6 lety +11

      Difficult to say if both because comedy is subjective. What one person find humourous, another may not. For me it is both comedy and subjective but it also causes you to think. I mean, we meet people every day in the patterns of our life that we create, we visit the same shops, we take the same time transport etc and yet how much do we know about the people we see every day. I for one have often wondered about folk I see on the same train every day, I may ponder what job they do, are they married, are they happy, do they notice me like I notice them, that's what this touches base on. Nothing serial killer about it, a natural human response to the world around them. Even I have a coffee shop where the guy there serves me every day, he doesn't need to ask what I want, he just knows by heart, but I know nothing about him and he knows nothing about me we talk but we don't talk if that makes sense but I do sometimes wonder about him but not romantically, just like a curiousity of his life so to speak. So I get the writing and what it's trying to say but words are subjective to everyone, they're like moonbeams. :-)
