Thanks for watching Evanoah!

Thanks! There's a whole concept behind the color correction. Basically I tried to pass the emotion of each physical environment: the streets are colder and more monochromatic (that's why the beginning is more desaturated), and then on each level (streets, homeless shelter, and finally the home) the colors get more saturated reassembling the real environment that gets more colorful as you climb out of the street.

Hello Hache!

You didn't offend me in anyway, in fact, the opinion of my friends are quite the same. I'm also tired of documentarists that only talk about poverty, it appears that here in Brazil only poverty sells to the outside, while the rest is confined within the country.

My biggest question though is how? You say in a more original way, but how? I mean, should we turn poverty in poetry? In the Brazil of 60-80's that was a solution, the films that talked about violence saw the bandit as the hero. Recently it has gone the other way.

This doc began with my curiosity on seeing everyday this situation and not knowing how they lived. So, me and two friends spent a week (I wished we had more time) sleeping, eating and living with them. From what we captured I have the plain conscience that the ending product doesn't give a good panoramic about the situation, doesn't explain everything and is fail in many aspects. There isn't even a solution, because the whole situation is so complex.

Anyway, the proposal of the movie is to generate questions– about the media, about the individuals that were filmed, about what is the purpose of talking about this.

The ending affirmation, when it is said that you don't help anyone (he was talking to me at that time) I believe is the main point of this short. It is actually a question to be answered by those who watch the movie. Seeing that you already answered it I think that the movie filled in it purpose.

Regards!

Well that's always the question... how to be original. For starters you first have to acknowledge that there is no 100% original idea, every idea just comes from where another stopped, and second, well I think that it's important to be honest to one self.

But I believe you already ansewered yourself when you say: "The ending affirmation, when it is said that you don't help anyone, I believe is the main point of this short." I think thats the concept you should develope on your work, instead of just showing the situation in a third èrson kind of way.

Take a side, make a social statement, a criticisim, show us that envbolvemente the three of you had during that week... and this concpet you talk about I think would be a very good one to work on... HOW?... no idea, but I guess thats for you to figur out hehe...

My best regards to you man, from a fellow southamerican like yourself.

That's a good idea you brought up!

Let's see if there is anyway to make a feature doc out of it (There's 15hours of interviews and images to work with).

Cheers!

Thanks Greg!

Merci Beyheef!

Obrigado Giul e Fabia!

Thank you for appreciating Zofia!

That one was a story! When we first talked with him to interview he was ok. He took his bike and left, 30 min later he came back for the interview like that.

Thanks for the compliment!

Obrigado Guilherme.

Acredito que há como ajudar essas pessoas sim, ainda estou incerto de como, mas tem. A intenção do final é justamente quebrar esse pensamento superficial de que "nós que estamos acima deles", os ajudamos conversando ou dando esmola, o primeiro passo para uma ajuda real é reconhecer a igualdade e partir dessa base para um ajuda real.

Enfim, fazer o documentário criou em mim mais questões do que respostas, espero poder falar mais delas no longa que vêm aí pela frente.

Abraço!
