I enjoyed both of short Breer’s films we watched last week overall. Although I do have to say the first one, Recreation, did stress me out a bit. I would have liked to see what each of the objects were before they left the screen and with the intense screen I just got overwhelmed and five more had flashed across the screen before I had time to figure out what the first had been. I spent the whole time trying to make sense of the objects and dig for some connection that could possibly provide some meaning and was left in the dark. As I later found out through the reading, it was not really supposed to make sense in the first place… awesome. Also all of the crazy colors flashing just provided a really intense atmosphere that ultimately left me stressed. I enjoyed the pace of Man with his Dog out for Air much more. The motions were much more fluid as opposed to choppy and in your face. The lines took their time flowing across the screen and morphing gracefully from one form into the next. This calmer pace was relaxing and almost mesmerizing as it drew me in to an almost trance-like state.
