Missing You...

This is my last project from the 4 week filmmaking workshop I took back in the summer of the year 2005. Here we had to either make a montage or a music video. I opted for a combination of both. I heard the song used in the video before going to Orlando, Florida and I really liked it. I remember I would listen to the song many times on my 4 GB first generation ipod and I would write ideas for it ( I had to eliminate a lot of them because I didn’t have a budget to accomplish them)
The Idea I had for the video included many more cuts and it was a kind of a different story, but guess what? The Day I had to shoot my project was the same day a hurricane passed over Orlando, so We had a really big storm that afternoon ( In the shot of the couple taking a picture in front of a fountain, You can see the trees moving with such a strength in the background) So I had to change all the outdoor shots for indoor shots and I had to think for a different ending. I don’t know how I t would have come out with the original story, but I kind of like the result with this ending ( Which was basically what changed)

There’s a lot of things I would change now, but well…It was one of the first things I did on video with a very low budget. Basically my budget was only the money I spent on the 16mm film and the processing of it.
Here it is…I hope you like it….I LOVE TELLING STORIES WITH FILMS!!!
