I really enjoyed Rebisz's video and I'm and am not surprised at how well he told his story through still imagery. While I think it's much easier to tell a story through several and several still images (technically that's what all film is), there is definitely more thought that has to be put into it than with normal filming. Rebisz had to put far more consideration specifically into his frames if he wanted to tell his story right rather than simply film the action. In this form of storytelling, every single image/photo/frame/etc. matters.
Rebisz did a great job compositing his images with his audio. When the action in the movie picked up, the filming got jerkier and it became more difficult to make out what exactly was being seen-- all of this was done, most likely, to reinforce not only how fast everything was moving, but how chaotic the scene in the alley really was.
The thought put into the audio was immense too. Each character had their own style of movement, and while there was no dialogue in the entire piece, these three people still had a "voice," whether it was a theme, or the occasional inhale or gasp.
I felt the story was clear and the style of storytelling really assisted to what Rebisz was trying to tell -- the almost haphazard meeting of two strangers.
