"The Value Of The Word As A Picture"

Since I've lingered around this idea of the value of the word as a picture, I saw it fit to share a couple of shorts I came across on Vimeo, which I thought were kind of relevant to this playful idea. Canon is been holding a contest called "The Story Beyond The Still" where photographers are asked to interpret a story behind an image given to them and compose a short fiction movie in HD following a constant storyline. The contest is composed of mini contests, and one episode is added every month or so. At the en of every episode, a still is left as inspiration for the following episode and so on. So far, 6 amazing shorts have been created and I've been hooked since. I'll post the first 6 in order and will keep updating you on any added episodes.

Enjoy,

Here they are:


Chapter 1: The Cabbie


Chapter 2: Job Security


Chapter 3: The Beach


Chapter 4: Allison


Chapter 5: Miracle


Chapter Six: Fool Circle

So far, I can't wait for the next one!!
