I like the parts that had a combination of live action and scratching/dying. It seems more skillful to manipulate the film around those small empty spaces rather than just scratching and dying the whole image. I feel like there’s more concentrated intent when you’re working within those small spaces and limitations. In the middle it seemed to be more random imagery with no consistency. There was an overload of different kinds of shapes, designs, and color. A lot of it went by so fast I couldn't distinguish some from the other. Sometimes I felt the music was working with the images and other time’s it seemed to clash which might have been the point. If the point wasn’t to clash then the all the bells and whistles were annoying because it was just constant sounds with no rhythm. There were a lot of colors and sounds. I would be more impressed if it had some kind of coherent structure doesn’t have to be a linear narrative, but something that has its purpose shown a little more clearly. That’s about all I can say without reaching into my mind and pulling out a bunch of bullshit and interpretations that probably aren’t relevant to the intention of the piece.
