"You were right, Henry: The whole world is caught in one big dream. None of it is real!"
"You are.... you're real." - Dr. Sam Foster & Henry Letham ("Stay")
This montage series was a tough one to produce, but it was definitely rewarding nonetheless. From the start, I found that montaging a film is VERY different than montaging a television series, comic character, or anything else that I've done since creating the very artform of blog-montaging a few years back.
This particular series started out as a small experiment over the past summer, mostly to prove to myself that I could actually DO something different in contrast to all of my previous other work at that point, and - as with anything else - the hard work that I put into these entries revealed itself, in a most prominent way, to be a big payoff quality-wise. Overall though, there happened to be a recurring theme in all of the montages for this series: Love.
Each entry featured a different incarnation of the sweet (and sometimes sour) emotion; "London" demonstrated the inevitable downfall of a love between two people who's lives are diverging in two different directions, "Stay" demonstrated the love that binds all human beings together through mutual concern, "Two Lovers" demonstrated the bittersweetness of a one-sided love when it's felt for the wrong person, "The Fountain" demonstrated the dark importance that death and tragedy inevitably plays in the love felt by any given two people, and lastly (for now): "The Road" presented the undying strength of a father's infinite love for his son.
Volume two will appear in time, but for now: This was a very nice change of pace....
