Webster's Dictionary describes love as the following:
a (1) : strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties <maternal love for a child> (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3) : affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests <love for his old schoolmates>
But as we all know love can mean so much more.
Over the last year and 4 months, I have been witness to my brother in law, along with a team of 4 other guys, develop and create a stop motion love story based on the Vinylmation figurines. If you don't know what those are, here's a link to help you out: Vinylmation: What is it?
This story is not only about the strong bond and love between Blank and Bow, but also about finding one's identity.
It's when we find our identities, find what makes us happy in life, that we can truly have a love story that lasts for decades.
When I watch this trailer, and I suspect when I watch all 12 episodes, I will take away something different from each of you, as this story allows each of its viewers to walk away with their own perception and meaning of love.
Because this is a silent film, we are able to create a dialogue for the characters, thus walking away with something that feels much more personal than anything we have ever experienced before.
These film makers are not forcing us to feel what they want us to feel, when they want us to feel, they are giving us the opportunity to create our own love story. We will cry, laugh, and feel a wide range of emotions throughout this series and not all at the same time.
What a gift to be given.
I hope you enjoy.
