here's the scene:click on this
It's an odd sensation. i watched it and saw it work - and I was just so amazed to see even this one five-minute segment, and how beautifully it was working - that, even though i knew i'd not get the credit for this idea, ever, now, nor for all the ideas in the still-unmade-Longing, it worked so beautifully that i felt like: well, here it is, however it got here. It works. I knew it would work, and it works. And now someone else has done it - and so it doesn't matter that I didn't.
it's strange how it feels like it doesn't matter. It's almost like it's something I can cross off my list now. It shares some similarities with Longing: although about two single lovers, instead of married and single, Zoe Deschanel looks almost exactly the way I imagined my heroine to look. And it's a guy with a boring job, obsessed at the office, staring at her all day long.
actually, this clip doesn't give enough of an idea of how sustained the scene is, and how well-thought-out it is, the reality versus the expectations, how subtly it begins and then slams home the point. It's a different form that I've done - and its actually quite witty - and central to the entire - if rather slight - plot, which i don't want to ruin.
it's such a strange thing, though. How i just stopped doing this. and now it's arriving in bits and pieces... this film, that series, this ad. Perhaps i know these two writers, somehow, perhaps they knew Longing in some way - though it's more likely that this is just now in the zeitgeist.
i have no idea at all
It's a very odd sensation. Almost as if my thoughts on this were so strong that they somehow permeated to Tribeca Films, where these two writers first worked together.
and here's a little two-camera shoot someone put up from a dance scene that's single channel in the film
