The Reading is a short film in which ten animated Tarot cards crawl across the table and arrange themselves into a Celtic Cross spread. Once the cards are in place, we're treated to stylistic close-ups, zooms, and audio effects intended to bring each card to life.
I'm intrigued with how selective focus (zooming in to isolate certain elements in a card illustration) and motion can cause me to see very familiar cards in very different ways. In fact, this movie gave me an idea: what if, instead of offering standard online readings via email or video clip, you could order a reading that would present nothing but the card images in a unique and intriguing short video?
In other words: instead of someone delivering an vocal interpretation, you'd receive something more like The Reading: visuals and sounds designed to enhance your understanding and experience of the cards.
There aren't many online readings worth paying for ... but, as they say, "I'd buy that for a dollar." Would you?
