still from a shoes shop in russia

#1

The smell of new cheap shoes
The sound of russian in the background
People leaving untidy items around holding other shops' bags while checking shoes with the other hand
wearing too many clothes but outside it's cold, not worth it to take off the jacket
and hold it an employee shows a customer some high leather boots assortment of waterproof padded jackets in different colors
long&just washed high quality russian girls' hair

Red head woman, indecisive
Sales woman, nonchalantly wearing her face-mask right below nose
There is 50% sales on a selection of items
Small girl shopping for a new pair of shoes, school is starting in a few days
Young woman just entered, she is not planning to buy anything
But she seems like she will, easy target
Her friend is exhausted, she will wait sitted on the bench till she takes a decision
Red head is still in the store
Girl sitted on the bench is only checking pairs within her arm reach
Possible target audience of the shop: small girls, young girls, older women
Girl sitted on the bench received a text message

The pattern on the floor tiles sets the stage for new sales offer:
-50% on some shiny new boots.
Yet kids are not intrested:
they prefer to bounce from red tile to red tile
in order to spin the speed of shoes shopping.
A woman is not shure of buy a pair of shoes.
She focuses on the materials and the quality of construction.
She weighs the price and how renowed the firm is.
Then she puts the pair back on the shelf.
An old lady picks it up again.
She feels observed.
She feels not confident about her opinions about these shoes.
She peeps other people choices, considering other pairs of shoes.
She strolls through the shop.
Then returns to the initial ones.

Noisy space
Blow dryer is on
Face-mask seem required but the heat under is unbearable
A man doesn't seem to have much to do
He is chatty
Chatting to a girl sitting
He doesn't sit, I find it pretty annoying
Just sit if you are talking for so long!!!
The man crosses and un-crosses his legs, seem nervous
Is he nervous because of the sitted girl?
I would say so
WHY DON'T YOU SIT
I can't see the sitted girl's face at all
A standing man, turning his back to the camera is talking to a sitted pair of leg
I bet the hairdresser is also bothered by him
She is eying his reflection in the mirror
Her crossed legs on the armchair has not un-crossed, shows how tensed he makes her feel
Dude just sit!

The smell of shampoo and cleanness
The mysterious crossed legs from a girl which we are not able to see more
Is the guy standing next to her bending over to kiss her?
The deafening sound of the hairdryer
The feel of hot air on your neck
THe reflection of the hairdresser in the mirror behind
The feel of expectation - how am I gonna look? - for sure it was worth the money.
The cold, slippery touch of these fake leather seats.
The standarization of clothing items such as the square pattern shirt, the denim jeans he wears or the black sneakers and black leggins she wears
AH! new customer, new hairdresser in frame.
He sits, she starts washing his hair.
I wonder when was the last time I went to the hairdresser.
Should I get a haircut myself

Try to focus on the floor tiles, once again.
And think to the worker that has put them in place.
Hey, you did a great job under the seats in front of the mirrors, why you messed up everything on the other side of the room?
Now there is a guy standing on this feng-shui-wraking-four-tiles-inlays, trying to pickup a girl.
She's hidden from our point of view and we just see a pair of legs.
You can see how the barber is listening to their conversation,
Hidden among the noise of a red blowdrier.
She seems to focus on the blond hairs she's drying but that's just a cover.
The guy is insicure.
He relies more on the infrastructure of the barbershop than on his own body.
He tries to seem cool and steady, and then two other people enter the barbershop.
Or better: they were outside our field of view.
One is a barber, the other one a hair owner.

One cow seem to be full of milk
Her milk sack just lies on the hay like a full bag of marbles
She got up, wonder how
Are they slow or is the camera lagging?
Nodding left and right
They seem lost in a space that yet hosts them since months
Common just cheer up
A younger cow is approaching
She has more white than brown, makes her look even younger, as if her pattern wasn't yet finished
How would it feel to be inside a cow stomach?
Warm, dark, and silent
Agitation in the stable!
One seem especially lazy
Hay is wet
A farmer passed by
The lazy one got up
I feel your pressure sister
Like when a manager comes and checks you at work

Unknown number of cows in an unknown-sized farm
Two cows in frame, three bits of cows coming out of the frame.
The realisation that whatever you might be doing or busy with, these cows are there.
The realisation that whatever you might be busy with is somehow more fun than being a cow?
The cow has some hay on top. Who put it there? How could it fall there? did it get stuck somehow
Two new pattern cows come in the frame.
New gang? did they know each other already? Do they care about being brown or patterned?
What is out of the frame? Wondering about that and the sound we cannot hear.
Is it cold? well probably, its in Augsburg.
The cows melt in the background, such a rich brown palette.
EH Human in frame. quickly, crossed the frame in diagonal and left through the upper right corner.

How do you define a group of cows?
A flock of cows?
A storm of cows?
A crowd of cows?
A family of cows?
A team of cows?
A herd of cows?
A drove of cows?
I will just call them by their name.
From this aerial point of view you can recognize flora, in the right bottom corner of the view
Luca, relaxed in the left corner, with a concern on her rear right leg,
Notalie enter the stage, followed by Sofia.
Natalie is mooing about the haircut the farmer did to her.
Her black&white pattern should have been taken more in consideration during the grooming.
Sofia agrees, but then turns away from Natalie.
(I see some not-so-hidden envy here)
It happens when you keep so many gracious gracing animals in a such small place.
