Scratchcard Lanyard - I like the intro of the showreel. How they focus on the detail, texture and light of the set design first – including some stuff moving or lights tinkering.
The face in the curtains was a nice touch as it was out of proportion. I later realised when they moved the angle, that her face was actually there in the set design – and that it was not a screen which projected her face behind the curtains as I had thought so. To add even more confusion or excitement, as the camera zooms out, we find out that its a band playing the music the woman's face is singing live, with the set design forming its structure from her head, almost like levitating. However, the shots are well taken and can make it look like the figures inside the scene are moving, even though no one them is moving them.
- Rottingdean Bazaar - Lalala it’s the good life - I like the music, rhythm and timing with the visuals – the movement in the lifeless fabrics which reflect what is printed on them. For instance, the mouth is not alive, but it is moving as if it were, likewise the 2d legs are printed on fabric, but are moving as if they were alive. Having said this, in most cases, the movement they contain, is not the normal way as they move in a different way. I liked the video in total. The good combination of the music, printed fabrics and objects, movement and how odd it all seems.

interesting to see how they made their adapted, contemporary, photographic series of The Wizard of Oz. With characters such as Dorothy, the Witch, Tinman etc with different costume designs and the settings are all in an urban setting outside a shop whose name correlates to the film - which I found funny and smart e.g. the Witch is pictured outside a pub called 'The Castle'.

Attention to detail is crazy. Lovely and wholesome. All handmade felting - the characters, the furniture, food and setting. Story line is interesting
There is no need off having script/speech in order for the film to be understood or for it to work well
The low volume of background noises such as water, picking an object or getting hungry are enough to make it successful – it works well with the soft wool, handmade visuals.

Genesis Belanger

stages psychologically charged mise-en-scènes composed of idiosyncratic versions of everyday objects. the body is absent, inviting the viewer to enter as purposeful actor. In her immersive scenes, objects become surrogate for the female body: pursed lips emerge from matching stoneware lamps, fingers sprout from a bouquet, and a hot dog wiggles itself into a wedge heel. it is principally concerned with the manifestation of capitalist myths on a gendered psyche.
