Youngblood pt.3

In this section Youngblood focuses mainly on the meaning and technique behind the psychedelic visuals of 2001 and Jordan Belson's experimental film portfolio. Author C. Clarke, author of 2001, talks specifically about the techniques behind the creation of the effects used in the film, such as the light-slit machine and painting on glass, and explains how technical difficulties/experimentation can lead to future success. Completely opposing Clarke, Jordan Belson speaks conceptually about his work without revealing any specifics on how his visual effects are created. The mystery behind his work is intriguing, and it is interesting to know the narrative/ thought process behind each of his visual experiences.

I also wonder if Youngblood choose to interview Clarke after reading his interview in Playboy magazine. I guess Youngblood does read Playboy for the articles.
