Good scene for a no dialogue piece. The emotion is simple and effective, and you know is he reads the diary, it's worse than it was before.

Isn't that diary a little too small to be a child's? Even the little writing that shows through as the camera zooms is far too small and mature. I think these details are really important!

This was definitely moving. I love the indecisive, almost gulty look the father gets when he finds the journal... should he.. or shouldnt he...

i really like the scene - the music moves it - and having the Dad alone as he discovers what's in the diary or journal adds to the strength of the message - will he disclose or close up?

Donald Y.
Posted 6 months ago

Nicely presented - The light and music created an emotional scene that made the point of his grief very well.

Jeannette L.

The music was supper dramatic. Interesting lighting choice with the bedside lamp. The rabbit stuffed animal in the bed left me curious!

Anthony S.

Charlie Brown and Snoopy are on the black diary! Is there a meaning to it, or was it just coincidental?

Matt M.

Good eye! We thought it was fitting.

Anthony S.

Very dramatic music. Ninja turtle! I like the actors you chose for these clips by the way. I wonder what the diary says.

Ange M.

This scene worked well in that it definitely didn't need any words. Very moving and music fitted in perfectly

Tom J.
Posted 6 months ago

The scene definitely works without any dialogue, but the direction was a bit confusing without more context or more content afterward. The dad reacts to the journal as though he has read something he shouldn't have (or that his son might catch him snooping), instead of having a genuine desire to connect to a loved one who is no longer around. Again, maybe there is some scene coming later that will explain all that, but in this stand alone scene it felt a bit peculiar.

I thought the scene was very heartfelt and the music selection was a good match as well for setting the mood.

Jeremy L.

Beautiful scene. I could just feel the loss. The score matched perfectly and the actors little touches made it an incredibly moving scene. I like the refolding of the shirt. The care taken with it.

His foot touches something under the bed. It's a box of photographs, mostly of a young woman with sparkling blue eyes. But who is she?

This was really sad and touching. I've suffered a loss in my family and this felt very real and vulnerable. (Also loved the little bit of suspense and mystery at the end.) Great job with the music as well.

Monika T.

So sad :( I really felt bad for the dude. The music was very fitting. Good job all around! Can't wait for your next video!

Carleigh B.

I think the suspense that was created b the score was very successful it makes me want to know who or what was making the floor creek. I also like the close up on the rabbit makes me wonder if it's something more than just a stuffed toy.

A hard scene to make for sure - good luck guys. I enjoy the follow-up photos from splicing to making a night scene work during a day shooting - thank you

It seems like the tshirt was hidden better than the journal. I did feel for the dad in the scene. Ninja turtles were a bonus.

Interesting how you built emotion here without dialogue nor much actual action. Seems like a pretty sad situation

Tammy B.

I watched this knowing nothing about what the film was about. I thought it was about a 40 year old computer nerd who still plays with toys and is sniffing the shirt of the only girl he ever got close to. I was totally captivated tho

very dramatic guys. good lighting, music. tough to tell a story without words and you did it well. my heart went out to him

Michael W.

Really good lighting and I liked the tension. The ninja turtle was a funny twist! There were a few rough cuts too. I'm not sure what we're supposed to interpret from this scene though. Does he miss the person? Is he aroused?

Tim R.
Posted 7 months ago

I liked the idea behind this and the emotion you wanted to bring out. You guys did well to include the content you wanted to bring out the emotion but I would've used some different angles to be honest - but maybe that's just me being picky. Nice job and good luck!!

Luke S.

Good use of music and emotion; you get a sense of the sadness but also the unease. Nitpicking, but I would've liked a reverse when he's reading the diary for a few mysterious words..? Good stuff. Team #Starkers

Kim C.

As a parent the quiet but intense emotion of the dad just rips me up. And the room you created captures the innocence of the son. All in all an excellent scene (but I would have preferred one shot without the shifts for such a brief scene).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!!! lol This says a lot about the character. Great use of music and bravo on capturing the emotional moment with the t-shirt. I watched it twice just to make sure - there's a continuity issue with the position of the lamp. It in the earlier shots it's face down and then later you see turned towards the camera.

charles w.

Interesting. I like the music here a lot. Very green scene. I agree that this was already a silent scene.

Scene was good, looked nice, I enjoyed the one-light approach. But again I don't think a scene that wouldn't have dialog anyway should have been chosen for this mission.

Chris L.

I think what lost me on this one is the choice to light the whole scene with a halogen lamp and then pointed at the camera

Cheated and read Jenna's comment before I watched. I have to admit that the notebook seemed a bit 'old' for a child, might be because I used to get those black leather notebook/datebooks from Nikon so that was the memory it triggered. Yet the rest of the props say child. Went back and re watched the trailer which didn't help. But if the intent is to tease the audience then yes it worked because now I really want to see how this film is resolved!

Mikaela C.

Dang! We chose that journal 'cause it had Charlie Brown and Snoopy on the front, hoping that would convey Jeremy's youthfulness. Good info to have! What age are you getting based on the room's contents? -- Team Rabbit

Kevin O.
Posted 7 months ago

It felt sort of like a childs room but most kids these days have rooms full of their toys. Granted if he lost this child then of course there would be less children's stuff lying about. In terms of the journal maybe something more along the lines of the one tagged Classified on this page? http://www.peterpauper.com/sub_cat.php?cPath=25_143

Found that journal online but I guess I didn't see the characters first and it looked more like an older persons leather notepad. But this is really nitpicking I suspect as the average viewer might not notice something like that.

Hmm think the word I was looking for earlier is spartan, the room looked a bit too spartan to belong to a child.

Jenna R.
Posted 7 months ago

I understand from this that this man's son is lost and he is grieving. What i don't get is the set dec and props that this actor was given. How old is this child? it's unclear. Also is he just finding the, what I'm assuming is a diary now?

Jane M.
Posted 7 months ago

Have to agree the score added a lot to this scene. Expected more emotion or reaction from the eyes

Jay R.
Posted 7 months ago

The score was pivotal in this Mission, and I think you guys (or more appropriately Paul Davidson Jaconello) nailed it on the head. It really builds the emotion of the scene well. Good work!

Bill C.

The score did a good job of narration.

Gregory F.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice work Rabbits. The panning of the room almost has a 'land that time forgot' quality to it. I agree with some of the others that the number of cuts comes off as really jarring, especially when for a scene like this, the grief is so alive that a simple shot might have been just as powerful.

Dale B.
Posted 7 months ago

The music to this scene was very well done, set the tone well. I liked how you panned around the room, we never really realize what was important to us or what we left behind till seen through another's eyes, again well done. I would have liked to have read over his shoulder when he was looking at the diary, but maybe another time !! Good luck and looking forward to more.

The filming could have used some work because his head was cut off in some places. The acting was well done

Trev F.
Posted 7 months ago

Seriously great job. I was drawn into his grief right away. His head was always cut off, but I didn't notice that as I was watching. No idea what happens next, but that little floor creak was a super clever trick to get the viewer curious.
