Set to the backdrop of a happy-go-lucky piano tune, Allison Inman's first digital story begins with an old black and white picture of herself. For the first 40 seconds the camera slowly pans inward towards her face, as she reveals the little nuances of her life. Although seeminly irrelevant, her random comments help pixelate her personality. The next picture shown is an off-set photo of her dad, poking out from the bottom of the photo. This image is a great representation of their former relationship, because her father was always there for her, yet not fully present. My favorite part of the story was the list of things she secretly loves. She notes that even though she isn't outwardly affectionate, she is constantly in love. The repetitious clip of her walking down the street attributes to all the smaller things in life that she has come to appreciate, such as: "pigeons, they're so psychadelic and colorful, so underrated" and "skinny old ladies dragging carts down the sidewalk". The ending of her story tells how her father's trip to the ICU has brought them closer together, and made them more comfortable to express affection towards each other.
