Over
the break, I went to MoMa to see Quay brother’s production, and they are mostly
focus on stop-motion films. It is a commonly known now, which takes massive
amount of time to produce a short film. Lucky, I was able to sit down on few of
the many films that are present in the museum. Even though doll characters are
without facial expression, Quay brothers use other elements to have the figure
as alive as possible. It was with careful and moveable staging, so without
moving the camera, they could have the figure move into different environment,
and this is only one of the tricks they did.
One
of their film, a dance film that draws most of my attention while I was there. The
flow of the dance film was so smooth from one shot to another, perhaps is the
dance that was beautifully in the film got most of my attention. But the story
was so direct and clear even the shot was jumping back and force between all of
the characters. And that was the moment I was asked to leave the closing museum.
