I was so curious about Phos Pictures after the video, Last Minutes With Oden, which is today’s first post. I’m already taken in by their work, as they’re showing the human connections that we all seek through their digital story telling. Every story I’ve seen is poignant and pierces an arrow through your heart in some elemental way.
But the next one to catch my eye was In A Box by Shane West, which was a collaboration between them and Rooted Pictures. It opens your eyes that there are so many people out there who see things that most others won’t. And what they see leaves behind a powerful image that resonates into the future. It’s these uncharacteristic actions of the affected that should be noticed, because it typically comes with a life-changing moment. They don’t have to be big. They don’t have to be gorgeous. Sometimes they’re as simple as just hearing what another person says while seeing it through their eyes. It’s a moment to hold tight because these are the lessons that were hard on both the teacher and the student. Because in every moment in life, we interchange that position and hopefully take the lessons to heart and use them wisely. Appearances are deceiving.
Heart, it really is what it’s all about, after all…
