City Lights
Logline
Faced with a language barrier, a nighttime security guard in a London office tower finds a unique way to communicate with a beautiful custodian working in a skyscraper across the street.
Director's Note
Editing CITY LIGHTS is an ambitious challenge for any editor. While the film's scenes are relatively simple — most contain only one or two camera set-ups — they can be rearranged in countless ways.
Furthermore, CITY LIGHTS was filmed over six days (a typical short is shot in one or two); includes tons of music montages to build; and incorporates many visual effects. While the completed VFX used in the film are included here, creating these effects for anything other than temp would be beyond the ability of most editors, so don’t worry if it’s too difficult.
The nearly dialog-free CITY LIGHTS was a featured selection of several esteemed film festivals, including the LA Shorts Fest.

There are some restrictions. You may not credit the original filmmakers, claim credit on IMDB, submit your edit to film festivals, or use the content within any other project.
Influencers - No matter the number of subscribers you have you may purchase a single user license and use the Content in online tutorials, vlogs, and other personal promotional activities (or "influencer" activities) as long as you are not being paid by advertisers or viewers for the content.
