art in general is beautiful and amazing, music, book, poems, paitings, dances, sculptures. they're all unique and so special. so keep up your work im sure it is amazing for it have your feelings invested in it

[@carloslascanodirector]

Hi Conrad, You are right, we had to mirror some shots in editing. Funny you noticed it.

[@jimreadey4837]

​@@carloslascanodirector, I believe Conrad was commenting on the _actual shot of a mirror_ (at 0:40). Thank you for acknowledging the mirroring you did in editing (say, at 6:03), though -- I love the technical aspects of film. And such a *wonderful film* this is -- just watched it with my artist life partner (of 41 yrs.), and experienced tears of joy for the perspective and gifts she brings to the world. ♥

The first time I saw this I was captivated by the story... But this time, the cinematography! I never noticed all the little details the first time, because I was concentrating on the character. Such beauty!! Thank you Omeleto!!

[@LuLuBell]

[@carloslascanodirector]

Thanks LuLu I am happy you liked it

[@LuLuBell]

Carlos Lascano Gee, I really appreciate that you take the time to personally read comments on KZbin for your videos. This was marvelously put together!! I look forward to seeing more or your work!! Do you have any works in Sundance or other filming platforms? It's so hard to find good quality entertainment nowadays, and I feel like this one sticks out, and puts a smile on people's faces.. even for only a brief moment to forget "life". Lol

[@LuLuBell]

peek118 sorry I read your question incorrectly without my glasses..lol. I appreciate the dramatization when she is drawing her pictures and what she sees, and the movements between the actors and artwork. Also near the end as she's passing on the street, the details you guys put into the display of each building going from urban dreariness to her idea of perfectness. It just all flows beautifully. I don't know if cinematography was the correct word, but I feel as though that behind the scenes, to have just the right lighting, added with the animation, seemed appropriate.

Everyone can draw,paint, and do creative things You can start doing it by trying to draw Trying to imagine and create

[@marishkaspirit]

This used to be me before I got into corporate jobs and they sucked the life out of me...I used to dream all day long and have hundreds of stories in my head to cope with reality. Also, I'm a painter and I used to draw, but after I got hired, I didn't had any time and energy left to draw anymore. I became very depressed stressed and overweight, and lost my spirit completely. Is important not to lose the child within you. It was the only thing that made me go thru the day. ..

[@guspapadopoulos945]

The actress even looks like an angel. Like her sole purpose is to show us a little joy and happiness. To appreciate what we have, and not take life for granted; Healing us though her art. The end was a bit heartbreaking, perhaps that was her as a little girl with her parents at the beach. Nevertheless another masterpiece by Omeleto.

[@Hazyla]

This video. It’s beautiful. It’s so short. Yet I love it so much more than those hour long movies. Is it odd that I prefer this over Marvel’s Endgame? I often find myself daydreaming. Because the real world is so sad. I am lost in my own imagination. Amazed by what I see. When I get my head out of the clouds and back down to earth. I am always disappointed in what I find. Because all my dreams may never come true. The world will always be filled with sadness. And I cannot do much to change it. This made me tear up. There wasn’t even any talking. This short film was very touching. It gave me a feeling I can never find the right words to express. I love that feeling. Thank you.

[@edwardmathenge719]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. A wonderful actress with a pretty elfin smile goes about her day rewriting the script for the world around her, but it's only when I see her smile fully 2:33 & 5:16 that I truly appreciate what a truly beautiful human being she is. It is our unique attributes that make each of us special. There is however a more complicated footnote to the story that some may have missed (or chosen to miss). Her discovery of the revivified red carnation on her return home sparks in her the notion that her perhaps her artistic musings have an actual impact on the world, as opposed to being mere wishful thinking and, perhaps, coincidence. She eventually arrives at the somewhat troubling idea that if one can afect the other then perhaps the reverse is also possible and we see her draw herself into a happier time and place where, reunited with her parents, she can once again experience the joy that comes from being truly loved.
