scratch

thoughts from today's class:

Excited to be doing some production stuff in school now.

I really liked the Scratch Film Junkies' film. I liked the variety of it. like the different shapes and patterns. The favorite thing was the 3/4 circular image where the missing pie piece is rotating around. it reminded of this winnie the pooh movie i watched part of in Japan where pooh has this crazy dream and elephants are singing to him about eating too much honey or something. there were like clocks flying around like the shape in the Scratch Film Junkies' film. It was pretty psychedelic and creepy, maybe worsened by the fact that Pooh's voice was actually a Japanese womans voice and the elephants old angry men.


As far as the Brakhage films go, I had seen several of them before. I felt as if many of them were very similar in mood, colors, and patterns. Pretty amazing about how inventive he was with the medium, but I like a large variety of shapes and colors...especially to convey different moods.

Scratching the film was awesome. I'm excited for the first project and also to get some cheap film and scratch it up.
