This was conceived more as a visual poem than a linear story. It's basically about a young girl dealing with the death of her father.

Enjoyable short piece. I must admit the car shot looked it was raining with a watering can. But nice Video Steven.

That's great. The lighting definitely worked well. How were the flashes of lightening done? I wouldn't have picked the water as being fake though, well not until reading credits at the end and Andy's comment :)

Oh great, nice one Andy! :)

Glenn, I keyframed the levels control in Premiere to create the flashes. Just blew out the frame to almost white and then keyframed back to the normal levels. The timing was critical to sell the effect.

I'm impressed. Good lighting and rain effects. There are only a handful of visual artist who can captivate their audience with their simple but powerful images and you are one of them. I am inspired by your imigeries. Keep up the good works.
