A different take on human / animal virus transmission. During isolation, sleeping patterns are a little disrupted leading to a vivid imagination...or is it real?
Shadows is a diary of the actions and emotions manifested through shadows, to represent a day in isolation.
It is entirely filmed on a balcony, using sunlight to create the silhouettes.
Shadows also is a part of a larger independent project, making a 1 minute video and song everyday during isolation. This project is called “Reggie”. The videos and music are then shared daily on social media.
The mythical creatures, cowboys and witches depicted in the shadows are inspired by the large amounts of films and series consumed during isolation. As well as the conversation and discussion surrounding them.
The film was conceived, filmed, scored and edited all on the same day the AFCOOP Balcony Diaries Challenge #1 parameters were presented.
Filmmakers were challenged to make a short film in their home / apartment / backyard over the course of one weekend according to the following parameters:
The film has to be about COVID-19 but can never use that term, or “coronavirus”.

Or…
The film has to literally involve a diary (written or filmed) and a balcony (if you don’t have a balcony you can mention balconies in dialogue).
Here are the results - vote for your favourite by 'liking' the video!
