St. Louise Response

The Scratch Film Junkies' 'St. Louise' was exceptionally rhythmic not only in the use of the soundtrack, but the images meshed so well to create their own rhythm. The rockin' tune was well fit for the fast paced and chaotic nature of of the footage. Really goes well with the Film Junkies' style. I also enjoyed the use of text at the beginning such as "This Film was made..." and "Do not take with other medications" sort of sandwiched between the true colors of the filmstrip. As always there was awesome scratching and tinting around images of moving or talking people. The airplane and the music seemed to build up great suspense, it flew right at you as the tempo increased. You kept waiting for more scratching or shapes to appear ontop of the plane, but it always remained in view, ever-escelating towards the viewer. I find this semi-long take to be quite unique in what i've watched of the Junkies so far. The cartoon that was engulfed in scratching and manipulation was also quite creative on their part. Great morphing shapes as well, such as tghe tearing of film becoming four circles and then combining to be one.
