What to say about this one? Not as much watching paint dry as watching paint crumble from the walls and decay to dust.
The concept of the film was footage of abandoned parts of the world where humans no longer dwelt. I was excited to see this because not only am I into photography, but I also love looking at haikyo photos. Haikyo is a term used amongst photographers which refers to photos taken inside abandoned buildings. The word comes from the Japanese word for "ruins".
It wasn't bad, exactly, and there were some parts of it I really enjoyed (like the frogs, the birds, and the bits on Gunkanjima in Japan) but overall I felt like the film was badly edited. Why did it dwell an equal amount of time on every single shot? Why did it fade to black so often? I felt like the film itself could have been cut down, shaving off time in some sections, and lengthening time spent in others. That was my major problem with it - the editing.
Some of the shots could've been better composed as well. Cutting off the tops of trees and things like that really frustrates me.
Great concept though. 5/10
