"Strange"
date: August 17, 2006
The whole 'clocks are funny' gag is lost on me, so I found no humour in this at all.
The animation is really fluid and well paced, the music gels. It looks pretty, basically.
However it was a little ambiguous with its meaning, until you just tell us all. It's not necessary to spell out your subtext - if the audience doesn't get it, tough. But you shouldn't undermine your artistic licence just because you have no faith in your audience.
Author's Response:
I spell out the message because i don't expect it to be obvious for anyone. It wouldn't be obvious to me either if i had no clue as to where this film came from.
As for the gag... It doesn't point out an audience or author group in general.
Take me for what you see in my work, not for some arcane hidden meaning that isn't there.
