It was really pleasing to watch your final video, not only within the context of our classmates' work, but also within the context of your work throughout the semester. As Janet mentioned, you did a really good job of pairing imagery, sound and words in order to produce the additional elements of concept and metaphor. I appreciated the visual style of your piece, which felt very aware of it's video-ness. In particular, I was impressed by your manipulation of the green screen. You mentioned in class that you could've tweaked the filter to get the "ideal" effect, but preferred the strange, chaotic look that you ended up with; I think you made the right choice and a bold move as well. You approached the filter creatively and employed it in a way that's theoretically "wrong", but in doing that you created a new use for it. Breaking so-called rules like this is very necessary, especially when everyone in the world making videos is essentially using the same handful of editing software. Without a certain level of disregard for the proper function of our tools, we end up with videos that all look the same.
Good luck with your future work.
