Why would you think he was smoking weed?

The people who see MY vids think the same thing.

Don't you think people can be creative and imaginative WITHOUT getting "high"?

I'm not putting you down, and I'm not a hater, but a lot of very creative people have never even SEEN weed, much less smoked it.

Yeah, you have to love that early tape-based atonal electronic music. It seems very appropriate to this kind of animation, not to mention that it's of similar vintage (late '50s) by the sound of it. The murky sound quality of the 16mm print's optical soundtrack adds a lot of creepiness as well. I really like this film.

Actually, you are the one who is ignorant, ThomasFMPayne.

"In the late 1930s, John Whitney collaborated with his brother, James, on a series of abstract films. Their work, Five Film Exercises (1940-45) was awarded a prize for sound at the first International Experimental Film Competition in Belgium in 1949. Not only was their work visually stunning but it was underpinned by a fascination with Eastern philosophy, experimentation with hallucinogenic drugs and the works of Carl Jung."

I've just seen The Beauty, up there in the Intelligible Realm, not a reflection, not a copy, it was there !

You don't need drugs unless you have a lack of imagination or are deeply bored.

This was intense. Je suis tellement contente d'être tombée dessus ! Thank you, thank you !
