I've never seen someone with such deliberate but natural facial expressions as Tim. I feel like he's spent thousands of hours in a mirror perfecting his craft

[@Ralse]

Truly a gift, don't think this is any form of practice

[@ElJaf17]

thats what i like best about tim key. his brain must be processing so much at once to get timing. sidekick simon on this time is insane for this. absolutely hilarious. i think time always plays himself in every role. gifted

[@long-shotlouie]

You cross my mind, Tim. Invariably you're stepping awkwardly off a paternoster lift

[@martinhampton6964]

that's made my day, Ole long-shot Louie

[@TassyDevil04]

Love this. Tim Key needs to be on the television more, much, much more.

[@gavva2010]

Exactomundo. The guy's a lej, Sidekick Simon! If you haven't seen "I give it a year" the film, his part in that, is VINTAGE, Classic Tim Key.

[@budle89]

I'd love this for a 120 minutes movies, please. An intimate chat/date embedded with poems delivered in such mannerism. Each close up shot you're being served with beautiful actings of expressions that looked struggling & awkward. The relief moments when each character smiled bring butterflies in my stomach.

[@abravebirdsaved5363]

Oh love Laura ❤️

[@bradmodd7856]

laura's bootay really deserves a credit in this film

[@balabendita]

This monologue is perfection.

[@toffeeboy1964]

The beautiful piano rendition of 'Goodbye England' fits this so well. ❤️

[@rontanamo_bae]

Thanks you so much, ive been searching for this song. The piano is beautiful

[@FlowerAteCat]

im ashamed to say im a lm fan

[@nothingdifferent7081]

There comes a point when I swear Tim looks as though he's shrunk. Like he's not to scale. It might be the size of the chair stools on the left and How tall Marling looks, but it's like a strange illusion. It's almost like a very fitting nuance as to what's actually happening in the scene. Either way, Tim Key is a vast range of complimentary words, none of which I have decided to mention. But they're all there.

[@LAwittel]

Can’t say for certain what’s being done here but if you’re on a “Zoom Lens” like an 18-85 for example changing the lens from tight to wide can achieve the shift in perspective size of subjects from the center of the frame and towards the edge of frame. Generally speaking a wide lens close up will distort out, and an tight or “long lens” will distort in. This by itself may probably wouldn’t give the desired effect, but I suspect that’s why they hid it in a pull back or “Dolly Back” where the camera physically moves back either on a slider or dolly, which in this instance could help keep the composition frame roughly the same thus making the change more subtle. However it was done it was a lovely little bit of intentional filmmaking and I appreciated it.

[@wriches]

If "not to scale" isn't a compliment, then I don't know what is.

[@informedchoice2249]

Beautifully written and acted, directed etc...

[@informedchoice2249]

@UClR5eMjw0I5zSAL8SSgq8kQ Thanks for asking. I love the shot when Tim is sat at his litle round table, quite isolated not only for it's visual quality but also as I suppose it was intended to represent one's feelings when we're making a choice to engage on some level, especially when we feel isolated. Hence his little table and Laura's response, self-effacing. We can all find traps in the forest of the self if we're not careful or in good company that helps us coppice it. It was a really lovely short film. Hope that was ok for you. Sorry about the odd forest metaphor.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

It’s incredible that the male character holds her attention for so long... Almost excruciatingly long. Wonderful. And is he was right about without-chocolate being the default. He’s nailed It basically.

[@BladeV8]

I had no idea Laura could act!

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

Made me think of Laura's cover of "Do I ever cross your mind?"

[@SongBillong]

So simple but it says a lot. Superb stuff!

[@RandomActsC4]

👍👍👍

[@hdng1984]

It's funny, I was so transfixed with Tim's monologue that I didn't notice the pan between 1:58 and 4:13 until the end.

[@deadexcel9583]

this is....... beautiful

[@Morgam06]

This is beautiful.

[@Hakeem990]

Laura is beautiful

[@MatONeill]

Absolutely fantastic :) Loved every second of this... thank you!

[@pxdphil]

Absolutely brilliant

[@mamasheloves]

simply refreshing in this robot world that we are allowing

[@markusif]

this is so adorable

[@zaroffhound]

Could I have a whisper of grated subtext over a foam of furtive insight, grazed with cinnamon or if you're out that, some sublime wistfulness? And a spoon.

[@emmajean8631]

This is a real Niles Crane type of comment I like it

[@EATPICTURES]

This is a very lovely thing Thank you

[@johnmacward]

This reminds me more of Vimeo than KZbin... It's rare there's quality like this on KZbin...

[@slinkyjett]

masterclass

[@pallsmortion4750]

Very underrated

[@olivergoodacre]

No idea how the algorithm recommended this but man, I love it.

[@stinky8374]

lmao why did this make me cry

[@_arkadal8910]

Because there's some work you need to do on yourself?

[@kelpkelp5252]

Just stumbled across this, very good!

[@t3br00k35]

I think about Laura all the time

[@bradleyhenry1996]

This is what we all think at some point .

[@_arkadal8910]

Of course, it isn't. There is no "we" nor "all".

[@wthornton7346]

Delightful.

[@jonathanluney9856]

Laura marling is very beautiful

[@guyperry4010]

Love this. Superb. Cringing still. Ahhhh.

[@bareakon]

Sometimes you just wanna know you're recognised as a complete person outside your own circle

[@rossandrewcasey]

Do you think about me? Or do you think what I think about you? 👏🏻

[@user-lg9dg2je5g]

Ross Casey l’m wondering what this mean ??

[@gavva2010]

That's the telling part of the conversation... If you watch this, & are intrigued by that bit... think about, why that might be...

[@freebeerishere]

@@user-lg9dg2je5g he’s doesn’t actually think about her as a person. he’s more interested in if he’s thought about by her.

[@thepeacetimebookclub3029]

Loved it

[@afriend621]

Excellent.

[@SerendipityChild]

He's searching for beautiful reflections of himself in the glass of a gilded streetfront: hungry to see himself framed by the beautiful and unattainable. Instead of a reflection, a flattering illusion, his vision shifts and just for a moment he has a glimpse through the window. And sees her looking out. Straight at him.

[@stevep764]

Great film

[@imadeeplyspanishman]

Like totally gorgeous

[@francotomatillo]

Lovely

[@JackWestrop]

That was great

[@meshbis]

Haha, I liked this very much.😊

[@mynameismark25]

"Hi, may i have a flat white, and can you make it extra flat please? Thanks a latte!"

[@kylerowe666]

Why am I crying?

[@flashtheoriginal]

Well. What a nice surprise

[@JBot1973]

Nick Mohammed in Ted Lasso is basically doing "a Tim Key".

[@anusha8085]

Ah! You're right! It's an insecure form of male ego, I suppose

Sweet :)

[@chim-choo-ree]

I love you, my strange girl.

[@andygrayson7485]

love it....without chocolate

[@journal_to_reading5920]

I just came across this and I thought it was adorable

[@user-xz9ig6eb6w]

I'd appreciate it if anyone could interpret this video.

[@___Hermitage]

The self-indulgence of the British upper classes is truly something to behold

[@TerryTerryTerry]

Agree - no chocolate.

[@garyives1218]

1:45 brilliant chair fart

[@davidholton3571]

This could be the start of Will Hislop's career!

[@justinwilliams4126]

I love this film. What happens to them?

[@shugmchugh5107]

Aids

[@nickunderwood6175]

I am a fly is the buzzing of my wings not my trumpet like mouthpart and air from my tiny lungs?

[@ecc84]

I think she was his wife.

[@Totoro648]

Please, can someone help me to identify a word on this video which means 'to think about'. What is the word?

[@alikhanshaken662]

wonder

[@YonaStudio]

you here from english channel too?

[@louisahusteden8903]

Li Liang Ponder

[@reecehanrahan4158]

Does anyone know who the person who comes in at the end is? I really recognise their face and it's killing me where from.

[@My5094]

On the end credits it says Will Hislop :)

[@michaelpotts5388]

4 months late. But he did those videos during lockdown where he was clapping the NHS.

[@davidgoodwin8232]

Chocolate is notoriously bitter, so...

[@stephenmcewan2460]

I enjoyed that (Though I'd have enjoyed it more if Tim wasn't so rreminiscent of Brent/Gervais)

[@agneswilder733]

5:05 - he's married.

[@kmkn174]

At 2:35 he mentions that.

[@S3aChange]

It must be great to be posh.

[@leahhall3831]

🥺

[@eric1841]

It's so awkward

[@steelpodmusic]

ふふふ。😁

[@bonificaagropontino4848]

Sorry I'm stupid. What's going on? What's the moral?

[@jamesbaynton1881]

Hey, I don't think there is a moral. But there is something to learn, perhaps about empathy, for those who desperately need a little recognition. The story isn't about his feelings for her, it's maybe about his loneliness. He smiles at the end not because she gives him a little recognition, and that's enough for him. Loneliness is part of life, and may especially touch someone like him, who is shy, lives in a big city, works in an isolated way and is old enough to have lost friends through time. Maybe.

[@smithgeorge637]

:)

[@outsidethepyramid]

wet lettuce

[@jaijethwa6738]

cmon lads we're all focussed on one thing here

[@CloudAtlas777]

OK what?

[@paulthoresen8241]

Comedy?

[@michaelstorry7873]

Lovely bottom

[@virginialeung7341]

absolutely

[@GavTatu]

i would have gone with 'cracking arse', but ok....

[@marcusjames-]

Don't get it, I mean I get what I think you are trying to do. Achieve that fine line between comedy and warmth (Derek, Only Fools and horses, Detectorists). I like what this could be, almost in a pilot type way.

[@TassyDevil04]

Marcus James What of it do you not get? I'm just curious what you think isn't coming across clearly

[@marcusjames-]

TassyDevil04 is it comedy? Is it emotive? Both? Feels like an extract rather than a short film. Perhaps more context is needed. He flirts, yet is married and doesn’t seem the type to cheat. Almost like a serial killer?!

[@TassyDevil04]

Difficult to say if both because comedy is subjective. What one person find humourous, another may not. For me it is both comedy and subjective but it also causes you to think. I mean, we meet people every day in the patterns of our life that we create, we visit the same shops, we take the same time transport etc and yet how much do we know about the people we see every day. I for one have often wondered about folk I see on the same train every day, I may ponder what job they do, are they married, are they happy, do they notice me like I notice them, that's what this touches base on. Nothing serial killer about it, a natural human response to the world around them. Even I have a coffee shop where the guy there serves me every day, he doesn't need to ask what I want, he just knows by heart, but I know nothing about him and he knows nothing about me we talk but we don't talk if that makes sense but I do sometimes wonder about him but not romantically, just like a curiousity of his life so to speak. So I get the writing and what it's trying to say but words are subjective to everyone, they're like moonbeams. :-)

[@marcusjames-]

I guess so, would of been good to of explored that more and perhaps in a longer subtler way.

[@lukeW7344]

what do you mean subtler, you didn't get it first time why would making it subtler make it better for you. also the point is, its a 5 min short film and not in a longer format

[@yootoob2193]

I couldn't help thinking what a nicely shaped bottom she has and that there's no panty line. Then I studied the shelf supports and wondered why the installer didn't use all the same size.

[@TerryTerryTerry]

Bloody boring piece.

[@rcordiner]

Cringefest.

[@TheJamesdaykin]

Content Aware Phil fuck off you colossal whopper
