In the first of three sequences we see various images from nature against music: the sky, trees, leaves, a bird, water, sand, a beach. A little boy wanders along the beach observing the natural world around him. He walks and presently comes to a house and peers inside. The second sequence has no music. The narrator speaks of sculptor Alexander Calder and his work, as we see Calder in his workshop, cutting and creating unusual shapes, and seeing the resultant artworks. The last sequence has music as we view images of Calder's work. However, now they are intercut with images from nature so that we understand that Calder's inspiration is the natural world around him. The film ends as it began, with an image of the sun, now fading into the sky."<br /><br />nice pete. just copied this from the site you gave; herb matter films processed in circulation...Permapoesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565236504537501720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399750084204357654.post-61324028707695135492009-10-14T13:23:44.079+11:002009-10-14T13:23:44.079+11:00the film is directed by a guy named "Herbert ...the film is directed by a guy named "Herbert Matter"!Peter Minterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727959937942868475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399750084204357654.post-4582940814006113492009-10-14T13:17:41.000+11:002009-10-14T13:17:41.000+11:00aah! i thought it was a poem, but it is a film. j...aah! i thought it was a poem, but it is a film. just like your video!<br /><br />http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0122321/Peter Minterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08727959937942868475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399750084204357654.post-22554910295215561302009-10-14T12:50:29.306+11:002009-10-14T12:50:29.306+11:00thanks pete, and thanks for making me look this up...thanks pete, and thanks for making me look this up: <br /><br />John Cage, Works For Piano 4, "Works For Calder: II.
