#1 Hand-painting response

If I could compare it to anything that's relative with the source material (that being the abstraction of images), a director known as Brakhage took this concept, and became one of the pioneers of this particular "experimental" form of filmmaking. The important trait about this short film whilst comparing it to this director's work is the fact that the film lacked in being annoying. It instead attracted my attention to the relation of images to the music that was playing in the background; the piece that was embedded to the strip was appeasing. More importantly, the film's images tended to "dance" with the sound. It was very rhythmic, balanced, and it maintained a similar pattern throughout the entire screening. The abstraction within the images were probably gibberish, but there could have been some meaning behind the rhythm every set of images created; this is why I would've wanted to know how and exactly why this film was made (disregarding the purpose for which that it art). Was it to demonstrate the use of it's supportive mechanism? Maybe it was to show how influential the mind can be on sporadic creativity. Nevertheless, this "hand-painting" (compared to more recent films of it's kind I viewed on YouTube) is nothing more than primitive and classical. It has this spark of liveliness that makes it unique and sophisticated, not only because of the usage of film scratches and dents, or even sanding, but also the film's intuitiveness that brings the both the moving images and the music to life.
