Trees

Out of all of the films we watched last week, 3/60 Bäume im Herbst was probably my favorite. Not only because it was two minutes long but also because I loved the sound and images. I love looking up at webs of branches and thinking about the different interesting pictures that could be taken of them so to see an endless sequence of them was really interesting to me. I cannot even begin to grasp the amount of dedication and patience it must have taken to make this film. Two years of work for a five minute film is a mind blowing concept to me. I have never attempted any sort of stop animation or still shot filmmaking but I understand that it is quite a tedious process, something hard for an ADD mind such as my own to handle. The metriculous planning of each and every shot must have been overwhelming. I don’t quite understand the concept of sound being written into the film because I am only familiar with the editing techniques used in film making today. I did feel like the sound contributed to the film a lot. The roaring seemed to give the whole movie a more intense tone about it and made the trees seem almost menacing and frightening. It could have been a sequence in a horror movie.
