"Video Weavings" Response

In this video, there aren't any people or objects that are aware of the viewer's presence. It simply consists of small rectangles of colors and how they move to form patterns. 

"Video Weaving" personifies color and pixelated computer-generated textiles. This is achieved by the movement of the colors into new patters and diamond shapes. 

I notice the rhythm and movement of this video. It almost makes me dizzy because the shapes are constantly moving, and the colors are always shifting. 

I like the many colors of this video, and how they create different shapes and color relations. Even though the squares themselves do not shift color, the speed and similar colors around them create the appearance of a gradual shift of color. 

I don't like how it makes my mind hurt after watching a little over a minute of it. It is almost too much at once. Perhaps slowing the movement down a little would allow my mind to adjust better, therefore letting me focus on the shapes for a longer time. 

I think that this movie displays color temperature. The colors tell the entire story of this video; it is the focus coupled with the shapes they make. The colors draw you into the piece, and force you to follow the shape as it shifts and disappears.
