Early Potter capturing a creepy justaxposition between colour and black and white of the playfulness and curiosity of children. Eerie guitar score by Fred Frith arranged by Ms. Potter.

creepy - oddly enough the sidewalk became a character - as important as the kids - 5min well spent.

It gets old watching it after about one minute . . .

i like it very much when filmmakers actually have fun doing what they love. and play with their instruments, and make it a game.

It has a psychadelia flavor that reminds me of Pink Floyd's early years with Syd Barrett. Very intense. Very experimental. And very, very vague. In my view, this is just an image play, just a draft, an exercise, an attempt to develop some kind of concept. And because there is no other goal but to try out some ideas, it should not be looked at as an intelectual/artistic perspective. But what do I know?

I think there is a lot to say about this short, it's very experimental, yet so simple, the use of two cameras, side by side, one in color and one in black and white is intriguing. The thing that struck me was how the camera on the right side was not parallel to the camera on the left, it is at a slight tilt, interesting way to use an imperfection.

I felt a sense of Sally experimenting with the nature of time and using film as a means and method to record that. Not only in a linear way but also in a way that a Cubist painter would try and depict something beyond the traditional 2 dimensional aspect of the canvas. Childhood is a period where we least feel the effects of time passing. I think she is looking at challenging what can be held within & out of a frame.

The playing on the sidewalk between the screens was interesting but the color image has more light, so I found my eye was drawn to it more often; plus the kids seemed to tend to stay on that side more often, or at least Potter cut it that way. The music was good but a strange fit--I think this film really is at its most engaging when the kids are watching US.

Perhaps some brush this short film off as mere film student exercise, but it's play with perception through the contrasts of a split screen, color, and a hard camera angle evoke to me the palpable curiosity of the director herself, unleashing my own. So it lacks explicit "point" but to make one in five minutes is better known as a commercial. This film disorients in the hopes of reinvigorating our eyes.
