First Stars I See Tonight

http://youtu.be/nX5iuHnLlX8

As someone who is very interested in film, this new short caught my eye. It is the final product of a huge collaborative effort. If you haven't heard of HitRecord.org, I suggest looking into it, especially as a writer. It was founded by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and is a collaborative production company. I have jotted a few things down on the website and also done some voice over work.

HitRecord TV just recently launched, and this short film was featured in the first episode. The theme of the episode was 1, whether it be all is one, your first time, or being number one. This story left the biggest impression on me.

The story was not very complex, but the way it was written and the imagery it evoked through the words was what made it so intriguing.  The imagery of the stars made a crisp image in my mind, and I loved how the film was tinted green as to reflect the night vision goggles. The production design of the film added a whimsical element to the story as well.

Seeing a story like this come to life through the collaborative effort of normal people all around the world reinforces why I want to go into the creative field of film and television. The collaborative creative process is just as rewarding as the individual process.
