Tearing away the fabric of time and space
raymondo19608 January 2007
Outstanding experimental animated short. First a few words explaining this film's technique. Ito took a series of still photographs in a gymnasium setting up his camera incrementally in a circle. He then took photos of those photos mounted on stands in the same gymnasium (again in a circle) He then photographed these onto film in stop motion. The striking (and somewhat unnerving) effect is that you are flying into an infinite array of photos within photos. When I saw this as part of a program of avant garde Japanese film, one viewer brought their toddler, who immediately began to wail uncontrollably at the vertiginous display. If you ever get a chance to view this, please do, but don't sit too close to the screen or you may get motion sickness!

Those science-fic nutheads of "Brian in a vat" had a finally a work to prove themselves by a cinematic work.

Camera traveling across the spaces to spaces the times to times, we seemingly got in to a nest world like those science-fic boys passionate about. Though it can only be achieved through the film-a lie.

You can't assume that there is an outer space, or there would be infinite ones of nest. Basically this idea is mainly seeking for a host to conquer on his failure of competitive world he is now living in.

Back to film. It's super cool that finally filmmaker showed the existence of camera, the liar showed himself up.
