Craig Baldwin, Mock up on Mu

this is my extra post...

So this "narrative" film was very interesting. Baldwin's use of old footage worked amazingly well to piece together these characters and this story. i thought it was really cool that images of completely different people, doing similar actions could all work together to create one patchwork character. Also Baldwin's use of "puppet-ing" which is where he would show a person talking but put a different person saying something else over it, was very metaphoric and intriguing. There were a few parts where the film lost my attention and got kind of slow but other than that it was very entertaining. The thing i love most about this film is that no one but Baldwin could have made it. he has honed his style of film-making into one completely his own and that's very impressive.
