Short Film: Balance
Over the course of the last few weeks I’ve been working on a short film for my film creation class (a pretty cool free elective). First I had to come up with a story and pitch it to the professor and the rest of the class, and they’d give suggestions. The film was not free topic. We were assigned the topic (a single word) pretty much randomly by other students. My word was “balance”. We were given a few restrictions by the professor, namely a one-minute running time and no dialogue allowed (including on-screen text). My story is about a man who works as a tightrope walker, who has perfect balance at work, but his personal life is in shambles. So with a couple of weeks to make this short film, and a pretty difficult-to-film concept, I decided to film using my old Legos. I present to you my finished work, Balance. If you find yourself not understanding it, give it a few watches and pay attention to detail. I tried to cram so much into that one minute that you might not be able soak it all in the first time.
Comments are appreciated

Babe it’s awesome! Yesterday’s hard work paid off.
This was great. Not very hard to understand once you get the gist of it, and it’s pretty good. I found a lot of it funny, Idunno if that was intended, but I definitely liked it. Nicely done, dude.
Love it! Like I mentioned to you before, I’ve loved your imagination since we were five years old!
@Mely it did take forever to edit…
@Rey The comedy was completely intentional. I see the film as a black comedy.
@Zuna Thanks
Manses, I adored it! We shall screen it and be all sad when the pudding is gone… All in all, it was great! I hope you got a good grade.
