While not unique in execution, a worthy watch

Patch is barely the length of an average music video, so it asks very little commitment from the viewer. That's welcome, because it's premise could wear thin quickly. Thankfully, Writer/Director Gerd Gockell knows what he's presenting and does so curtly. The shifting of varying sizes of simply painted squares to create movement and image is quite brilliantly done.

The film does raise question on how it was done. One hopes that it is created by hand, each segment crafted and hung separately. To think it was done digitally (as can so easily manipulated) would take the power away from the piece. Ultimately, it is a fascinating piece of art, but without much soul. Hopefully, this film is made available online at some point in the future.
