Overall, I thought all four of the presentations were very
well done and interesting. However, the
one that stuck out the most to me was the Channing’s presentation on Jonas Makes.
The first film she showed us was amazingly beautiful to me. I really like the “diaristic”
style. I’m more prone to appreciate and be inspired by more visually appealing
works than anything else, and this film is the epitome of what I’d love to do…just
a little more narrative. For example, the “365 Day Project” was a huge thing
that stuck with me because that takes so much dedication and has the potential
to show so much insight on one’s life.
The second presentation that was super interesting was on
Smith’s animation. It was visually intriguing
for the pure fact that he actually took one film played it, reversed it, and
played it again. Do I think that’s a little overkill? Probably. But I like the
concept. Also, the fact that he had famous jazz musicians play music not only
along with that film but with his works shown in real life as well is fascinating.
The last point that I actually intend on researching was
said during Jake’s presentation on Brakhage. As much as I hate Window Water Baby Moving, I want to
research “The Birth Film” to get a different perspective.
