"The Blue Umbrella" (short), 2013. A pair of umbrellas meet on a crowded street.

Written & directed by Saschka Unseld.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad). It just kind of stops at the end, like they realized they were out of time and just said, "Okay, happy ending now."
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: n/a
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 4/4 (Great)
Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 4/4 (Great)
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). Cute, and very impressive visually.  It tries too hard and relentlessly to be Filled with Wonder, though, which, combined with the pop score, gives it the tone of a commercial.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.9/4 (Good)
