Had to show it to my wife and kids, they all cried when the trolley went into the water. Very nice how the guy cleans up the cart afterwards.
Kudos!
Just some tiny comments:
-Love it how in the opening shots we only get to see the cart and the kid. Pity that we briefly see the mom's face when she pays at the counter.
-Very lovely tracking shot over the bridge. Am amazed that you pulled that off with such a simple dolly. May I ask what you used for the larger jib shots?
-Congratulations also to the composer - brilliant score
-Slight continuity lapse at the stop sign - I am sure you are painfully aware of that :)
-I didn't quite like the various shot when the cart is "reading" the map - this makes it look like the cart doesn't know where it is going - and thus, why should it read the map in the first place. Plus, the slight breathing on the different focal points make the cuts jumpy.
-I didn't quite get how the car would not see the kid, but break for a shopping cart?
-Would have like to see the kid "thank" the cart is some way. As it stands now it looks like it has given its life to save the kid and gets discarded for that. Maybe add a final shot where the kid returns the cart to the shop, and all the other carts surround it as their hero?
Keep in mind, I truly enjoyed the film, and those comments are a way of saying thanks for your sharing of this lovely film.
I just love films that tell a story without any dialogue. If you ever need any help on a project in Norway, let me know :)
I see what you are saying about Cart (this is his "name") returning triumphantly to the store. That would have been a fun scene, but I don't think a triumphant return would have added anything to this story. In the end, Cart is a hero. And most acts of heroism go unnoticed and unthanked. True sacrifice is giving without expecting anything in return. I think the fact that Cart's actions go unnoticed add to the bitter-sweet nature of the ending.
Best,
Jesse
"Is this really life?" ...
And you've officially became "an inspiration".

perfect :)
i absolutely loved your film. you got everything spot on.
all the little touches gave the film so much sentiment but retained it's light hearted nature.
so good jesse. well done.

BEST
either way the look is AMAZING. Kudos!
:)
But one silly thing did stood out though, the blanket was on the wrong side of the cart in the shot coming out of the store.
Just one critic in editing sometimes you jump back like when the boy is getting into the car he is allready has like one foot in the car but the next shot he's doing the thing again. I personally don't like.
thanks for you.
i just like this film very much.buy the way ,great music~ love it
Vimeo needs to create a new awards symbol for this class.
The RED One, maybe after I wear out the 1DsMII.
I too thought it was going to take a twist when found in the ditch, or time warp further in time when the kid is older.
It reminded me of a British silent movie I saw as a kid maybe 40 years ago of a balloon and a kid.
Google search for hours now to maybe find it.
Cheers, and Thank You.
Found a clip sample, youtube.com/watch?v=HazMkcr-J7A
I guess it left a mark that you touched.
Very Cool.
But nevertheless, I absolutely love it. This will definitely be one of my top pegs for any future object-based humanization films that I may produce.
People only look for continuity breaks in really great films - I expected to see the SUV still next to the cart when we zoomed out.
I wasn't sure if the cart was returning the blanket to the kid or the blanket was returning itself and controlling the cart... seemed to be a little of both.
Great Work!
Any "Cart" action figures to be released soon?
