Dark Day - Very Cool Pastiche of Nuit Blanche

A couple of years ago Spy Films came up with the remarkable and ground-breaking Nuit Blanche.  Well it may have taken a few years but a thing of beauty needs to be satirized just a little.  This, at least, was what a group of students at Utah Valley University felt (and rightly so, as it happens).  Standing directly opposite the White Night, here is the Dark Day. 

One gets the feeling that the students did not have quite the same budget as Spy Films but nevertheless they acquit themselves admirably.  Not only have they produced a pastiche which in many ways is remarkably faithful to the original they have led me back to it (below).  And it’s still awesome.

Nuit Blanche

Have you ever had one of those moments where you see someone and your eyes meet? Then in a split second you have imagined the two of you coming together in such a way that you will never be apart? Then, just as quickly as your eyes met you separate and no doubt you will never see each other again. Can you have a love affair in a second?

The two protaganists in this film exerience just such a moment in this exquisitely put together four minute film. You may think you need a battery for laptop but it is deliberately in slow motion!  It may be short but we think you will remember this for a long time.
