He is not waiting for the microwave. He is waiting for the pandemic to get over so he may resume pursing his passion for drums. Brilliant :)
The message is that rather than waiting you can choose to do anything you like, because when you do something you like time will pass, so much faster
Atleast he didn't check his phone. He was creative in his mind
The clock was broken to point of ticking back and forth, not progressing further, taking literally forever to show the proper passage a second. Talk about exceptional symbolism.
When you have nothing to write in exams, your mind goes like this
This could have been the best Drums commercial ever made
As both a drummer and filmmaker, this was an absolute blast to watch! Awesome job!
This is perhaps the most brilliant compression of a story. Ironically, it takes place in the course of one minute and yet somehow doesn't feel rushed in the slightest. Additionally, juxtaposing the wait for the gig with the wait for the food in the microwave is a magnificent demonstration of temporal relativity. Time passes differently in our perspectives depending on what we are doing. The nuanced contrast between the digital timer on the microwave and the analog clock on the wall reflects the subtle difference between time and timing, or the passage of time. Mark Slouka, one of my favorite authors, said it best: "A story is something large seen through a small window. A shard that suggests not only the shape of the pot from which it came, but the mind of the potter on the day that he made it." This film is such a shard in that respect. It's safe to say that more thought went into this 1 minute short than most major motion pictures that are made today. Bravo!
Love the simplicity of the story. Lighting and cinematography are excellent. Top contender for sure :)
how did he actually managed to make a minute feel like an eternity?... IN THE BEST OF THE SENSES!!! you Nailed it, bro
The concept, of 'second-arm being stuck', when he was JUST WAITING N WASTING TIME, being passive to Time n Life, was so triggering a TAKE OFF moment! And Later how he 'lived' that minute, was his flight of Creativity! Wow! Great conception .
This makes me think of the waiting that we all engage in - waiting for better, for tomorrow, to feel free, to have more money, for someone to love us, to be ready, to heal etc. All various excuses to push life away and avoid the vulnerability of being fully human being, living and fully open to the possibility of pain which is a part of being human. Where does that come from? Why do we do it? What part of us does it? What pattern or loop may we be perpetuating?
Letting the mind play and flow. Great cinema 🤙
An actual quality short film that understands colour grading and how to balance close up and wider shots!!!! Dubzzz + editing was on point
Lighting and color grading was amazing
Perfect for a music store ad
As a drummer, I 100% agree with this one. Loved it.
I actually would like that minute back
