Inspiring(WIP)

So, I just watched a phenomenal video.

"Guys, this Thai TV commercial is very beautiful and touching. Storied about a deaf and mute girl who learns to play the violin against all odds. The deaf girl play Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major song. This TV commercial for Pantene Chrysalis shampoo is very inspiring. The spot won a silver world medal for short film at the New York Festival (NYF) in February 2009.

Oh man! Oh man! Why wasn't I able to watch this upon release?!

Hands down for the choice of music! Hands down for the storyboard! Hands down for the main actresses and actor!

Where do I start explaining my enthusiasm?

This is one of the best ads I've seen in a long time. I know they tend to exaggerate whatever content it is in that story. But I must give a lot of credit to the Thais. How come we, Filipinos, do not produce ads such as this? Well, yeah. There are Filipino ads to be acknowledged.
Mcdonald's First Love: Ang Huling El Bimbo is notable commercial. But can you at least give me ten others for the past decade? Tell me, I need enlightenment.

Music. It is innate, we all love it. And incorporating a twist to the deaf mute story is phenomenal. Pachelbel’s Canon in D Major is a classic! And I must say the musical director of this film did great on the arrangements to create a tremendous amount of drama.



The storyboard sort of reminds me of the Chinese Cinderella Story. The protagonist and antagonist might be related in some ways. That may not be essential though. But their relationship in the story is amazing. Along with the old man, which I believe is the grandfather, is very inspiring.

"Why...do you have to be like the others?"

*Anyone noticed the metamorphosis part?
