And so it begins.......

I must say, I'm pretty pumped for making some films in 6x1.  Watching Thad Povey (sweeet pick of a name) by Scratch Film Junkies (even better pick for the group) was quite interesting to jump into the crazed world of experimental film.  Sometimes these films are like the combo of DeVito and Schwarz, either you get the high abstract conceptual masterpiece like Junior, or the gritty harsh manipulation of the mind with Twins.  In this case though, Thad Povey succeeds in drawing my attention more than the Kindergarten Cop ever did.  The beats of the soundtrack set up visuals nicely, because I looked more into each one as they started repeating.  The contrast of the black and white images with the superimposed high colors gave the film a different dynamic.  The randomness of the subjects on screen was funny at times, because I want to see why they chose each selection.  OR is the guy just snagging whatever found footage he can get. Is it cheap? Hmm, I'll find out soon.  The rapid fire of the shots intrigued me to create something quick and fast to throw off the viewer, it somewhat of the same fashion as the film did.  Anyways I want to see some films that have more depth to them with emotion, more of a connection.  Working with the actual film in class was quite a step into something I wasn't used to.  It was fun trying to make the scratches and wondering what it will look like on screen.  Each week my ideas of experimental film will change, and hopefully evolve into something actually coherent.  More to follow as I gain some new insights, but on that note I leave it with the Schwarz to motivate me.

LETS KICK SOME IIICCCCCEEEE!!!!
