Please join our growing mobile movies community. We are a very enthusiastic and supportive group of artists.
‘The Viewers’ by Dani Salvadori
A man walking fast for bridges and alleys of Venice. The town is charming but the man does not care about this. He seems to have something important to do. Interesting effect of merger with images of human faces that seem to spy on the scene. The movie tells a story, perhaps a thriller. In just a few seconds and this short movie gives us the suggestion of a film.
‘Dim Sum’ by Karen Axeirad
‘Sweet Sweet’ by Susan Blase
Images that flow and intertwine. The face of a woman and a dreamy atmosphere, very romantic. The music underscores this game veils, flowers, masks. A movie sweet and very pleasant. Interesting movie portrait!
‘Talking to Myself’ by Eleni Gemeny
‘Train2’ by Philippe Schlossberg
Wonderful Blur effect on images of a train and a railway station. The red colour makes the atmosphere warm and alive. The movie is ethereal, barely visible, then he disappears. The effect is like a painting, as a beautiful picture of Turner. Very interesting video!
