5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Creative Art, November 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Temperaments In Motion: a classical music video [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video is a masterful offering. It expands on the basic premise of music and gesture, bringing to life an artist's love of color and the visual image. The use of windows for the dancers is veritably unusual and mysterious. The music is deeply moving.

1.0 out of 5 stars Deeply disappointing, November 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Temperaments In Motion: a classical music video [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I ordered this video based on the strength of its reviews and was more than surprised at their disparity with the actual work. This appears to be a student project, created by someone with very little experience, a great home computer system and some video editing software with irresistible plug-ins. I hate to knock someone's sincere effort, but I feel compelled to save others from spending so much without fair warning.

Ineffectual static graphics are heavily layered over tiny windows offering only occasional glimpses of dancers' limbs. I can envision an effective use of textures and filters applied behind the dancers' movements, but as it is, the ethereal motive of the work is almost completely obscured by heavy-handed geometries and unsophisticated symmetries harshly superimposed.

I'd give the student a C+ for effort, but I certainly wouldn't pay for the video if I had it to do over.
