This film is almost indescribable, for one really cannot pinpoint a specific part to discuss.  Overall, I found the film enjoyable.  I loved how the images were in sync with the music/sound effects.  As said before it is hard to try to describe an exact moment that I liked about the film.  To me it seemed as if we spent more time in the darkness.  What I mean by this is that there was more darkness than there were shapes.  Of course, I could be wrong… this is the first and only time I have seen this film.

            Neon colors fill the frame with triangle shapes.  At one moment, I remember different colors flashing for a few frames (maybe less).  These quick releases of different bright colors made me feel like I was going to have a seizure…  The beat of the music/sound would trigger a certain shape, or even a certain color to show on screen.  This idea seemed to go along with the discussion of how different sounds could trigger certain wave movement.  Passage probably took the idea way further than the actual real idea, but it is nice to know that this film was based on another idea.   I particularly love the parts in which a shape would flash a couple of times, and then the music would freak out causing the shapes to just rapidly show up.  In ways the film reminded me of watching fireworks on the fourth of July.  The loud noises, the bright colors and the darkness are features in both a fireworks show, and this film.  Other than these things it is hard to remember a short experimental film that I only saw one time.  I have tried to look the film up on the Internet, but I have had no luck finding it.

            This class is the first time that I actually got to hold different film stocks in my hand.  Most of the time film is “too delicate” to hold.  I liked how this class went into an opposite direction and scratched film just to see what would happen.  The “splicer” machine always looked complicated, but it turned out to be really easy to use.  Just in this one class I got to do things that I never thought I would be able to do.  Overall, our first class meeting was very enjoyable.

            I was drawn to take the class because I thought it would be interesting to work with film.  Everything is digital now, but I am not the type to hate on digital.  I just figured it would be nice to do something different.  I also was drawn to the fact that this class would help build on a reel that I could show one day.
