Len Lye's Trade Tattoo was intriguing and entertaining, especially following the dull and boring documentary called Industrial Britain. Not only did it combine actual footage along with animated shapes and things it compiled it all into a montage of sorts. Also the music that was used kept up with the pace of the visuals adding to its charm. One thing that I didn't catch onto until closet to the end was that it was actually an advertisement for the postal services. The flying envelopes and messages informing the viewer to "post mail by 2pm" finally made sense once this became clear. We talked about in class how they funded the film and after providing the money to produce it they informed Len Lye that he had to incorporate a message about their services.

This week of films definitely improved from the previous in entertainment after Industrial Britain, the films became shorter including two advertisements and a short film about a dog’s dream. Just in general, the night seemed to be uplifting instead of an attempt to force ideas into our heads without straightforward about the implications they wish to get across. It was a breath of fresh air to see simple films without dark and twisty backstories.
