Two days after losing my job, I find myself in a creative slump. With a demo reel to edit and a sea of footage to sift through, I struggle to find a good starting point. This video explores my creative process from sart t finish.

    Like this … interesting perspective; real

  2. noah37 Says:

    Is this through a Holga lens or something, I like the look of it, very unique.

  3. hannahradcliff Says:

    Thanks! I guess my only regret is that I didn’t get fired a day or two sooner so I could have spent more time on this….

  4. hannahradcliff Says:

    I built the optics myself. THey are custom. This is actually a Nikon 50mm prime….on the front of a bunch of other stuff :)

  5. charlesphillips Says:

    Hey, I’ve got like 4 cats at my house if you want one.

    Oh yeah, and the video was slick. :) Was that your voice?

  6. mariaux Says:

    This is the best video on here! The concept is one all creative people can relate to…having to “pay your dues” to get to your dream!Great!

  7. westfall09 Says:

    This won’t make a difference in terms of this contest but I added some things since: http://www.vimeo.com/8222809

  13. klradcliff Says:

    Amazing what the world does to us!!

  14. kellygirl13 Says:

    I wish I had even half your talent!

  15. kurty Says:

    I love the scene where you are typing then pull your fingers back…surprisingly expressive.

  16. jdavis Says:

    i’m totally feeling you through the whole thing…i’m left with a feeling of emptiness, acceptance of reality, and hope all at the same time

  17. buddhabrandy Says:

    That is really great! I like the entire process of your waking up, making coffee, going out, it is really great. Good job and good luck!

  18. ulsesba Says:

    This is so unique and witty. Very fun to watch and wanted more when it ended :D

  19. meggo Says:

    This is great, Hannah. Love the perspective and your passion and artistry really shine. Nice job! “Oh the places you’ll go!”

  20. huberad Says:

    Great Job Hannah!

  21. tbeens Says:

    Really great job Hannah! Loved it.

  22. davidsrocco Says:

    Yes. This should win. This has something intangible that I fully grasp.

  23. westfall09 Says:

    I can totally relate to your video…great perspective on life…

  24. marti1 Says:

    This is great, Hannah. I love the whole thing. Great job!

  25. mariaux Says:

    So many looked to find inspiration in other people, or in inspirational locations. You found yours in yourself.
    I’m inspired!

  26. pgw20 Says:

    The best one I’ve seen. Unique and beautifully shot. Really nails the struggle of the independent filmmaker.

  27. annee Says:

    Love it!

  28. floyd26 Says:

    Great film, clearly conveys the morning condition.

  29. schanman Says:

    excellent, witty and a wonderful soulful quality
    I must say amplified by your current employment status.
    Outside the box.

  30. missartist01 Says:

    quite artistically created, simplistic yet unique. Always amazing to view someone’s perspective in life. I loved it! Keep going Hanna!

  31. emilyd Says:

    Hannah, you are VERY talented, this is wonderful! Congrats!

  32. cmaue Says:

    This is beautiful, Hannah. Keep up the good work!

  33. srobinson Says:

    Great job. I really enjoyed this. Good luck.

  34. debden Says:

    Excellent, Hannah. Loved it.

  35. timoflosangeles Says:

    “Non Linear” is inventive, clever, wonderfully shot and moving. This theme hits home to many. We were lucky to get you for “SoP” when we did

  36. brenton07 Says:

    Awesome work Hannah! I loved the ending when you’re walking around with your films!

  37. cagednerdx Says:

    Awesome. This is a really beautiful piece.

  38. jimmyolsen Says:

    Shot selection, lighting, vantage points, choice of focus, imagery, editing–all spot on. Narrative is tight, moody, emotionally rich. Nice!

  40. floy64 Says:

    From the first few seconds this video captured my attention. You conveyed a mood through pictures without stating a word! Excellent video!!

  41. aprilena Says:

  46. fiveaherns Says:

    Being unemployed also, I feel you captured the thoughts I have every day. Love the angles and perspective. Five stars!

  47. strangerdanger Says:

    I love how you portray how your creative aspect is a part of you and it’s with you regardless of where you go.

  48. jdavis Says:

    sweet! you’re in the top 50…you go girl!!!

  49. trgorline Says:

    simply put: great!

  50. desabo Says:

    Every dark cloud has a silver lining. It is just amazing how a cinematographer thinks. SILVER LINING!!!

  51. duece911 Says:

    priceless!

  52. inannian Says:

    While creatives relate, I think anyone with passion for their work who has been tossed out can also. Finding the will to start again.

  53. inannian Says:

    I also like the perspective that there are people in worse situations, but that doesn’t mean yours doesn’t suck.

  54. ilermartha Says:

    Loved the feel of it, thoughtful and so true. Nicely done!

  55. fostermom Says:

    Very intriguing! I found myself mesmerized and wanting more. More Please!!!

  58. marti1 Says:

    You’ve nailed what it’s like to work a day job and have to work on your real aspiration as a side line. It is scary to lose the joe job.

  59. komalley Says:

    Love it!

  60. pwilson85 Says:

    I really really got into this vid…I don’t think it will win but you did a great job.

  61. hannahradcliff Says:

    pwilson, it has as good a chance as anyone else on here and I know it :)

  76. dkwright1800 Says:

    I’m 74, however I appreciate Hannah’s approach to this video.

  77. glow Says:

    Very few contests end up actually helping talented people as opposed to being a vanity skirmish. This one can help, spectacularly.

  78. jdavis Says:

    awesome to see you on the news tonight!

  79. hannahradcliff Says:

    Student46, so finding inspiration in yourself is depressing? I think you missed the point…

  80. aliyahsmom Says:

    Congratulations Hannah! What a great, timely message.

  81. brokeactor Says:

    My favorite part of this video is your hands and how they pull away from the keyboard. It is so expressive and truthful.

  85. crystaltex Says:

    Adam Hofbauer says yes. Way to be on the news and in the running.

  86. student46 Says:

    You spent to much time feeling sorry for yourself, you didn’t leave enough time for your total creative talents to fully shine through.

  87. gingerdoodle Says:

    Great video!! You are very talented!!

  88. ganymede89 Says:

    Interesting approach, non linear, with positive thinking and good vibes. Works for me :-)

  94. con1sult Says:

    excellent effort!!! going on to greatness!

  95. hannahradcliff Says:

    student46, the theme of this is not my underlining creativity, it’s the struggle to keep my head above water. You missed the point.

  96. chelseamarie Says:

    I love it. The struggle of an artist. Awesome. Beautiful. Love the angles, too.

  97. ktrull Says:

    hannah, you’ve come a long way since the days of the cosmetology head, haha- this is REALLY cool
