No time to waste

Superb direction. 1000/10. Every shot, every transition was perfectly timed. The sound was synced beautifully to the toaster clicking, building the atmosphere and urgency even though there were no clear stakes. The dialogue was so understated but it was positioned perfectly. Just where it made sense to add it, nowhere else. The use of diagetic sound, the clicking toaster, to add to the mood. The transitions themselves, oh man. The way one shot of the bread moved to another, like the clicking of old-fashioned slides in a projector. The perfect POVs. The variety that they managed to bring to one simple, repeated action. The stillness in the kitchen filled with frantic motion, and the restless motion in the beach that was mostly deserted. It's like a beautifully choreographed dance. Not one step out of place, not a single missed beat. It felt flawless.

And above is the reaction I had to watching it the first time. Happy, uh, tumblr bread day? Thanks @madfangirlontheloose.
