I made a short 16mm film named Concise. It could be called an avant garde film1 and it was engrossing to make.
I made it as a follow up to another film called Journey because, I felt I had to work on making my visual easier to be comprehended in fewer frames.
I still have this challenge say what needs saying in fewer words.
Make what needs to be made in a smaller space.
Potency may be connected to concision. What do you think?
FOOTNOTES & SUB-SUBTEXT 😉
- I love film-making and the very nature of film. I understand the magic of the media as happening between the frames, in the blank or black space. Horses running by Muybridge is considered the very first motion picture. See also this piece about these leaders of avant garde cinema.
See the mechanism of frames and spaces between in action here.
