Ryan and Street Musique

     That last film we watched was crazy. I didn't get all of it, and I'd like to see it another time or two so I could get more out of it.
    It was so cool how the animator made the people's physical bodies reflect who they were on the inside. That was an awesome idea.
     I looked up Ryan's films "Walking" and "Street Musique" on youtube. They were both pretty good, but I personally liked "Street Musique" better. It was more interesting than "Walking", I guess. Plus "Street Musique" had a really cool part in it where one realistically drawn person is split into two, and then those become people who are facing away from each other with their hands and feet touching, and then they get farther apart, but their hands and feet are still touching, and eventually the people dissolve into pointalism. It's very pretty.
      I wonder what made Ryan think of making "Street Musique". The film doesn't seem to me to have a central theme except that there's music playing in the background. The pictures don't always seem to illustrate or follow along with the music the way the pictures do in Fantasia. So what, he just decided to have music playing, and then draw whatever he wanted, and put the two together? And yet people like this film.
