Sure, we in the know recognize that the effects in Tscherkassky weren't
made by million- dollar computers, but does the "general audience" (cited by
Jim above as a potential target for the formal work of Tscherkassky)
recognize this? Is that central to their experience of his films? Perhaps
this is precisely the shortcoming of the "precision" or "lack of
messiness" that I think Jim identified earlier in this thread as the
distinguishing characteristics of his work.
Roger,
That's an interesting point, but I would say that the technique of the film
isn't essential to the experience. I'm basing that partly on the fact that
many of us on this list didn't know exactly how he did it.
