Origins (1978)
*** (out of 4)
This seven-minute short film was done by Mark Sawicki while he was a student at USC. This short film basically shows various things taking shape, which is where the title comes from. Whenever one is viewing a film like this it's important to remember how it was made. This was a student film so obviously Sawicki wasn't given a ton of money to make it. With that being said, I must say that it was an interesting and for the most part an entertaining film. I really liked the visual style of the picture and especially its use of colors. The editing was also quite good for this type of film as was the music score. If you're a fan of these type of student films then this one here would certainly be worth watching and especially when you consider where Sawicki's career went.
