Re Creation

I really like the idea of the Breer's film title having a double meaning. Although many of the objects shown in raid succession were items used for recreation, I also think that the film represented his metamorphosis from a painter to a film maker. Breer started working on animation films in 1952 so Recreation was relatively early in his animation career. In our readings from Tuesday, Breer talked about how different painting and film are, and how that techniques that worked to evoke certain feelings in a painting are completely ineffective when used in film. Breer's exploration and mastery of the two mediums is impressive and we as film students should count ourselves lucky to be able to see the process of his change.
