Plot
Herbie is a short 16mm black and white film by George Lucas and Paul Golding made in 1966 as part of their USC film school course. It is an abstract film with no story and no actors, that graphically depicts the reflections of moving light streaks and light flashes from traffic at night.
Sinekatalog’s take
A film school exercise with no story and no actors, made from streaks and flashes of nighttime traffic light. It is purely abstract and short. Fascinating mainly as an early student experiment, rather than a satisfying watch in its own right.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
