Orange In Motion

My short film Orange In Motion is about the color orange, flames, and a cat. I was initially hesitant to include any cats in my short, but then I remembered what I was taught in MTD 1: The internet is made out of cats. Seeing how this film will only be viewed via the world wide web, I felt justified placing two cat shots in it. Thankfully my cat is very orange.
I wanted to tie the various shots together with something other than color, so I chose a repeating shot of an orange candle to alternate between disparate shots. While there was no attempt made at story telling, I feel that the use of flame and the color orange, combined with the excellent public domain soundtrack created by Rutger Muller, do impart a hint of emotion, perhaps even a since of urgency. All shots feature movement ranging from human and animal movement to mechanical and light movement.
