Short Film - Meet Me Before The End < 2015 >
There are two girls lived in two different city.
One in east, one in west, one tall and cold,one short and lovely.
Both of them lived in the lonely city and chasing their dreams, both of them were hurt by relationship of love. Because of one called, we decide to made this film.
“ I’m really depressed, I’ve already run away from 6230miles! Why am I still stuck in this situation? Why am I always have to remember those shit? I just want to focus my own work! ”she said,
“If we could removed the feelings of romantic love, it could be helpful, right? ” I said,
“ I have to shoot a video of this ” she said
After six months later, I have been dumped by my ex boy and it totally broke my heart, he even ruined my life, it is not so easy to admitted own fragile. So I decide to go to San Francisco for heal my own.
She came to pick me up and asked me am i still remember about that chat? She was going to soot it down as her film.
Both of we are so excited for that.
Then I wrote a leading short novel for this film and find a poem of my favorite writer: Echo - If there’s an after life. It end up has been adapted for
opening remark of this short film.
short novel of leading film.
When i went to San Francisco, my english was not good enough. It made me feel frustrating when we start to work on shooting video. Include that “ tree” paintings, I also drew for three different versions.
When I start to painting NO.1, I used many orange and black color to paint and did not sketch it before I drew. They end up became too dirty and darkly. I was not satisfied about my painting.
I think it is not suitable for painting in bad mood. Maybe still upset for he’s left. Or even I have been healed and that is why i could not feel any emotion to paint? After asked myself for many times, I realized I was not really angry for abandoned by him. It is totally different from the actress of our story “ Stella”, she is anger by our setting.
Painting NO.2 is a sadness blue and white one. I’m not as fretful as early.
Instead,I putted most of my emotion into writing the previously novel. As NO.1 painting, I used heavy pigments but add with stronger feeling to dealing with NO.2. Finally, it calm, just like a storm has been through away and left some drizzle and mist to cover all of pain.
NO.3 is an purple one. Due to drew a some picture over and over, It seems to be more clearly about my feeling. Instead of saying that l could clean my mind, I would say that I am really happy to move on. So, in this situation, i drew a long line down to this tree for keeping me stay in reason. There has twilight far from the horizon means we still have to believe. Doing this picture, i hope i could never rely on or looking for, truly be proud of myself.
In the animation part, i made it twice too.
We want to set it like an artist’s brain in a begin.
So i put many famous artists work in this brain, but after that we want to add some woman’s material inside. Because i think we woman are like a flower and only blossom out for love in most of time. So we decide to change our design.
I drew a second one and add a ferris wheel, roller coaster, fire works and unicorn of rainbow color instead, but still keep Vincent Willem van Gogh’s ( The Starry Night ) painting, the celebrated one in there. Compare to previously, it is more close to female’s heart.
On the other hand, the reason of keeping
( The Starry Night ) is because of he was suffering about romantic love until he’s dead. He cut out the left of ear as a gift to he’s lover. I want to tell our viewers, the actress will been painful and suffer from relationship.
I also draw the storyboard .
