Today I am critiquing a video called FLUX created by Candas Sisman.
It doesn't contain much type except in the title, which provides a subtle, but strong introduction. I am guessing that the video idea has a lot to du with fluctuations of different kind. It is dedicated to the Turkish sculptor Ilhan Koman.
Note: These images are used for a student project only. They are not used for any other purpose than educational and will be deleted once the project is over.
The video appears to be made in 3D entirely. The video is about 4 minutes and 30 seconds long and it goes from one beautiful 3D transition into another. Overall , I find that it get into the essence of the sculptor's work very well.
The color scheme is analogous, but the colors work together beautifully. The rotations and deconstructions seem flawless, and very aesthetically pleasing.
There are several places though, where the video seems too long, for example at 1:21 the red ball stays in the air for 5 seconds, and at the very end at 4:11 the red line stays on the screen for about 20 more seconds before the closing title. So the problem is, the viewer gets the idea very quickly, but the video takes too long to develop in some places. What is amazing is, I haven't noticed any repetition o with the unity of the form, there is a also a great variety of small details. Even though the video does not repeat itself, some of the motion figures that the red shapes create, seems similar to one another. So, the video actually is not repetitive, but it may seem like it, because over a long period of time figures repeat similar motions.
Also, unless I have read the description, I would have never known that it is dedicated to the sculptor. I realize that the author tried to keep the title minimalistic, but in this case, understanding the idea, or the dedication of the video, helps the context significantly. So, it would be helpful if there was a small description line at the introduction.
