Variations on a Cellophane Wrapper (1970) - David Rimmer

My second Rimmer film is even more impressive. He took an eight second shot of a female factory worker moving a piece of cellophane. Then things got interesting, first he changed the contrast, then start alternating with the negative image, finally adding some color, and eventually blocking out parts of the image until it went to total blackness. The sound provided by Don Druick helps make the film as it brilliantly compliments the abstract imagery. Luckily the film stays relatively short so there isn't a great deal of time to get too bored, and the variations are all delightful. Definitely feels a little like a kid playing with a whole new bunch of toys, but a minor symphony was composed of such tools by Rimmer, who I most certainly am on the lookout for more work from.
