Inspiration From Cine

I've been trying to take my photography in more of a cinematic direction. I love the idea of setting up a scene that tells a story. But in a way that appears to be a still frame from a movie. That way, there are just enough pieces to instill a sense of story and drama in the viewer's mind. But at the same time, leaves enough to the imagination. The viewer must conjure the story leading up to the events depicted in the photo and likewise for the conclusion that is to follow.

Crewdson's work is great. But it's almost too perfect, too pristine and too static at times. I want more action (not in the adventure sense). I want more... kinetic urgency, I guess you'd call it.
