This was an interesting piece, but it was also one of my least favorite ones. Stan plays with different ways to film water by playing with reflections, focusing, and he even added color to some of his images. It's a very abstract piece making the viewer unable to really know what is being shown. I just saw a lot of movement, a lot of blues and blacks, and noticed him working with the focusing a lot.
An example of the 'bubble-like' image:
It was, for me, a really somber piece. I did like seeing the actual water flowing though, I guess just because then I knew what I was seeing. I felt a little frustrated when I saw the 'bubble-like' figures because I wasn't sure what was really going on. What was good about the film was that it made the viewer use their imagination... that or it made them just sit there trying to take in what was on the screen, maybe not thinking about anything at all... at least that's kind of how I reacted to it. What was he trying to convey? What was his overall message? Was there one?
