Post-It Love
This short is adorable. Everything sums up perfectly to create this cutesy love story: the music, the characters, and post-it-art.
The music was the main thing that i noticed about this story. It reminded me very much of fairies and unicorns, thus I knew this short would not be sad and painfully depressing within the first five seconds of the film. That is a grand power for the music to carry and it is used brilliantly.
The other thing that I loved so much about this short was the ability to have two characters to show eachother they are in love without speaking a single word. The director focuses on the emotional reactions of these two lovebirds, and, although that is a difficult thing to act out, these two actors embody the emotions of falling in love to a t. Watching the joy spread across every square inch of the woman’s face was pure magic and the perfect way in which to end this film.
The use of a boring, day-to-day office supply to depict the blossoming adoration was also very fun to me. Nobody ever thinks of sticky notes as a way to paint a picture, but they prove that they are the perfect way to brighten up their workspace.
Awkward office romances always appeal to me ( Jim and Pam had me hooked from the first episode), so I am not at all surprised that this short made my day. It may not be my favorite for its lack of deep thematic detail and information that make me ponder life, but it is a wonderful and very effective short film.
