A brilliant short film.

I just noticed audio is still out of sync in some shots. Let me fix that. It'll take three or four hours.

on 0.23 seconds you do a nice camera move. May I ask how did you do that. Did you do it with a glidecam or something like that?
polplanells 1 year ago

That's just a pan, but the camera's so close that the focal point certainly moves upwards, creating a certain feeling of a moving camera.

Another amazing short from you polplanells, and another stunning performance by Irene. I don't mind saying I'm getting a little jealous of your work. =)

Congrats to you, cast, and crew.

I loved it.
Would love to share it with a "young audience" I work with in August, from diverse backgrounds?

The lion sleeps tonight made me really laugh (AbimBowe). A lovely & brilliant way to finish! The whole project was superb. Never lost interest for one second. Great piece of work & thanks for sharing.

Por fin alguien toca este tema de una manera distinta y original!!! Gran trabajo!!! Me ha gustado mucho!!! Es enternecedor y ademas se empatiza perfectamente con los personajes. Me encantaaa... Me encantaaaa...!!!!!

Me gusta el tema que utilizas—el racismo, casi no se oye tanto de los inmigrantes que entran a las Islas Canarias de África. Ni sabía que había racismo contra ellos, hasta que miré este video. Pensé que era nada más un problema de la península (España).
Me gusta que estas utilizando “alta definición” (High Definition?)—así se deben de ver las prelícualas/videos.

I loved it. Very good, simple and moving. It reminded me of the films of the Dardenne Brothers. Very talented.

I love how she tricked the little old lady into feeling guilty about her remarks...and when she sang "In The Jungle" by the American band "The Tokens" I thought that was very cute...great stuff!

Also, LOOOOOOOOVE the young lead actress, WOW! Gorgeous and extremely talented! Wow! Blown away! What a find! The camera LOVES this woman!!! It's rare that I find an actress that has that immediate attraction, but this is the one, wow!

Extremely graceful and delicate film. Straight to the point without being melodramatic. Congratulations. You'll go far, if you manage to keep humble after all these positive comments! ;)
