Dance For Camera 2 (First Run Features DVD)

 

Picture: C     Sound: C+     Extras: C-     Shorts: C

 

 

When this site began, one of the fun things we saw much of were shorts collections.  One was of dancing, even if the clips were abstract.  Dance For Camera could have been a one-shot, but it did well enough to spawn a sequel.  First, a link to the review of the first DVD:

The new shorts are:

 

Boy (letterboxed 1.78 X 1/U.K.)

 

Burst (anamorphic 1.78 X 1/Iceland)

 

Cargo (letterboxed 1.78 X 1/Canada)

 

Case Studies From The Groat Center For Sleep Disorders (1.33 X 1/U.S.)

 

Horses Never Die (1.33 X 1/Canada)

 

Motion Control (1.33 X 1/U.K.)

 

The Duchess (1.33 X 1/U.S.)

 

 

All are so short that I am not even going to try and summarize them.  Except for the final one being about 15 minutes, the rest are about 5 minutes average each.  Still, dance fans will likely want to see it, but should start with the first volume.

 

The various aspect ratios as listed above are usually soft and Dolby Digital 2.0 sound barley stereo.  I expected these to look a bit better than the last set’s offerings, but it was not the case sadly.  The only extras are trailers to dance-related First Run releases, including the predecessor DVD to this one.
