"in theatrical script writing, sketch stories, film and poetry, a vignette is a short impressionistic scene that focuses on one moment or gives a trenchant impression about a character, idea, or a setting and sometimes an object" - riley blakeway, photographer of fiji vignette
go to hell with definition. this video is fucking sick. i can't stop watching and imagining myself taking a quiet evening saunter along the pristine beach with my eyes closed that i can hear the every sound of breaking waves, feel the cold, wet sandy feeling on my feet, feeling the salty breeze spraying against my face and see the sunset light barely penetrating my eyelid while it burns my skin. the freedom seems real eh? i love the idea of taking the shot in the crimson colored sunset. man the wave looks like glass or jelly or some shits like that. crystal clear that it refracts the sun's rays. the sky is very beautiful as if it is a blue canvas patched with white cotton candy and marshmallow (i am hungry). this first part of fiji vignette is so fucking cool and stunning. what a mystical fiji.
this second part makes me feel like a dipshit loser. i mean apart from vignetting the sexy tube shaped blue wave graciously curling along the coast, the video came packed with a sort of implied combo; the excellent skills of photography and jaw dropping knacks of surfing. these two things, had always been my interest - films and surfing, cutting the wave with the surfboard. though ocean is pretty a place where i grow up, but there are not many people ride the wave there. just because the wave is not as cool and as surfable as fiji's. it's more to fishermen's village wave haha! but it is very beautiful though and has its own attractiveness like riding horse, scrambler and atv, or playing takraw, beach volley and even soccer beside the beach. damn this vignette sure gives me hell of motivational impact, not to mention it's a hard punch of reality for me to take; in terms of the i love photography thing but till this moment i produced nothing, not even closer to this. and also i should go out and carve my own board out of the wood and surf the fucking monsoon wave ha ha. i love the music in this video it's called empty house by matt leech. also i love how vintage it can be at some points.
victory. a word i would use if i have to describe this third vignette. the rainbow refracted on the wave shot from sky view made my scalp jumped. i was giggling like a school girl, smiling like a baby lost in excitedness the whole video. adrenaline was bursting as i was stoned that i wish i was the surfer, the jet skier. or i wish i was the wave ready to be rode by the surfer, or even the shark. good lord. riley blakeway nailed this one down man. he vignettes the fun, freedom, nature, casualty and the majestic virginity of fiji very brilliantly. literally makes me swear to myself that if i never feel the warmness of fiji's salty water i will be an incomplete person for my whole entire life! kah kah. if the first is the coolest and the second is in between the first and the third, the third one is the absolute victory. now i have the biggest crush on fiji and it's quite hard to beat this one down. wish me go see and surf there some days ;)
