beautifully shot memoir
hodosano14 July 2015
Great shots of a lovely pond in Denton, TX with some reflections on various times in the filmmaker's life. I was never a big fan of the Star Wars films, but now I'm tempted to re-watch "The Empire Strikes Back" to see if I can catch the filmmaker's reference and get a better understanding of how it grabbed him.

This film was too short!

I wanted more. I think this could be expanded into a more detailed documentary. Perhaps the special effects team from "Empire" would consent to interviews?

Short movie, short review!

Wonderful Homage to "The Empire Strikes Back"
pharospro6 March 2016
Wonderful homage to a fleeting, but very memorable, moment in the "The Empire Strikes Back". Fans of the "Star Wars" films will recognize it right away. Loved that the film is a memory of a very short visual effects sequence that triggered so many other memories and feelings for director/narrator Brock DeShane. Unlike him, I did not have a pond where I lived, but that short scene also left a big impact on me, and I watched it many times over the years and always wished it went on longer. I loved this short and I'm sure other science fiction and stop motion animation fans will too. I hope he has another project in the works.
