My Short WALLS

[pheadx]

hey guys, i've uploaded the my latest short to spike tv. Unfortunately it's only flash player quality and the colors are very washed out. Does anyone know a better video platform?

Here a short synopsis:
Lisa and Lars celebrate their break-up when they paint the walls of their former apartment.

We shot the short last summer in a rather improvisational approach without any budget. We borrowed the camera from our video lab and used a friend's apartment. It's meant as a mixtape that you would give your friends. Waende means "Walls" but it also sounds like a German word for "turning-point".

Don't expect too much, it's just some friends doing their thing with crappy audio. I've put English subtitles in it.

Fucking awesome, straight up. Budget restraints notwithstanding, you guys told a really beautiful tale here. It reminds me of Tykwers Winter Sleepers. Honestly, really touching. I'd recommend sending this out to film festivals.

really liked it... simple but beautiful story... liked the inter-mixing of flashbacks and animation as well

oh wow, i was expecting the film to get bashed :-) glad that you both liked it. i've also put it online at vimeo , the contrast is slightly better.

We've sent it to some festivals, but noone wanted it :-), hah. I guess I just continue to do other shorts.

i have a short question that concerns me.

Is it working or not working that the main characters get married, even if it is not meant seriously? It's interesting, some people say it sort of destroys the whole film. I just need another opinion.
