A Colour Box

2007-09-03 06:06:00 by Gareth in gareth's movie diary
...colour schemes; the work of painting the strips of film for A Colour Box apparently took just five days, which is remarkable given the complexity of what appears onscreen, not to mention the small scale on which Lye worked, given the size of film frames. Set to a piece of music from Martinique, it's an extremely witty piece of work, using the...

Jean-Luc GODARD et La Chinoise

...colours with a strong emphasis on the colour red. There are aggressive quotations and slogans pasted all over the apartment, almost as if to make sure they are never forgotten by the inhabitants. There is also a lot of Pop art found in the apartment, some of them mostly black and white images that have been coloured in with felt pens Godard...

...colour documentary (although you can see pre-war colour footage of Warsaw here and here ), this is vibrant filmmaking: singing, dancing, music! It's from the early 50s and features a shot of [liberating] tractors [approaching from the East], but once you accept thatand accept that Mazowsze was, contrary to the voice-over, a de facto music...

...Colour Box , a vibrant direct-animation work (the images were painted directly onto strips of film, an extraordinarily painstaking process given the small scale of the endeavor). Like many of his 1930s films, A Colour Box was in fact a commercial, for the General Post Office in this case (it was specifically designed to promote new...

Nella stretta morsa del ragno / The Web of the Spider

2008-06-07 09:42:00 by K H Brown in giallo fever
...colour rather than monochrome. While a commercial necessity by 1971, it is debatable whether it adds terribly much. Indeed, in that Margheriti seems to here avoid more stylised colour effects, with almost everything in the same drab shades, it's possible that it actually detracts by giving the film a more realistic veneer throughout. Though...

What Visions In The Dark Of Light: By Bob Lock

2008-02-06 22:05:33 by Richard Hawkins in SciFi UK Review
 
...colour, its delicate shades and nuances, the way light would coruscate over the ripe contours of a dew-laden bunch of grapes. These are things which were lost to me, until recently. But I should go back, explain my handicap a little and tell you of its cure, and yes, also tell you of the bigger handicap which that cure brought with it....

...colourful A lot of time passes. Most of the friends die. Then, by accident, someone much younger and from another country picks up an old print of the film and watches it. She likes it. She shows it to her boss, who distributes old foreign films. He likes it, too. They clean the print up, find some extras, and stick it on a DVD. Someone buys...
