This clip was called, "Thrush." It was a love narrative. The story was told from a male lovers point of view. The guy told a story through all the different pictures he had either taken or had been in himself. The first one being the last picture him and his lover were ever in together. The pictures then begin with the first picture that was ever taken of them together, only they weren't together, they were with two different people. However they notice each other and fall in love and begin taking lots of pictures throughout their relationship. And as all good relationships they begin to have their problems, and eventually break up because they just do not click. Well, sadly the male lover becomes madly obsessed about not having her, that he follows her everywhere and snaps pictures of her as she continues on with her life. Among following her every move her old lover appears in the images, and he becomes extremely jealous and wishes evil upon them. Fortunately, one day it hits him that their love would never click like his and her love, therefore the boy must let her go and wish her happiness.
The director of photography really had an amazing imagination. He used all photographs to create this movie, there was no action filming just pictures that told the story; as if your were looking a flip book extremely fast the images came to life the faster the pages turned. This definitely gave me an idea for future references. However, the ending sadden me, I really hated that they never reconciled with one another.
