After watching Norman Mclaren's piece, my mind was was bursting with as many thoughts as the figures etched onto each film strip. Below is a transcription of my thought process:
The video was a collection of colors, shapes, and patterns set to Vince Guaraldi sounding jazz music. There was rhythm, and the synching of shapes and music. Exciting piano riffs. Very cool, enjoyable and surprisingly entertaining. Use of languages, most notably French. Abstract. Prints. Dancing lines and figures. Poetic: blue, red, and orange hues. Non coherent story. Avant garde. Stains, marks and scratches. Changes in tone, but mood remains upbeat. High energy, with a lot of percussion dominating the score. Use of film strips. Editing methods must be incredibly difficult. Was it made using blank film strips? How did emulsion factor in the creation? Did it have to be developed? Use of drawings and sketches. Bouncing and popping. Striking, beautiful and talented.
