Con Tricker / Texts

Hi Dan. Thanks for commenting. I didn't narrate for a couple reasons.
1) I believe that art is the meeting of artist's intention and audience's perception -- and that actually frees me from trying to control the audience's perception. I wanted people to get their own idea of what the "voice" should sound like based on their perception from the video.
2) I wanted this project to be... not so much about *me*, but to share my experience of isolation and voyeurism. I think the text screens do that better than my voice. I get the feeling that if I'd been speaking, it would be more about my persona than people experiencing the footage for themselves. I hope it was somewhat successful -- it is only my third video, so I didn't angst about it.
As for the checkpoint ideas... any interest in collaborating on a Halloween event?
There's always next year! And I don't regret doing it, since I'm pretty happy with the video and how much I learned.
I kind of want to do a checkpoint, though... I have Ideas.
He's in all my videos! He will not, however, be in the Journey video, and he's really mad about that.
Thanks! At this point, I'm using any excuse to practice video. This was a perfect opportunity.
This made me laugh as much as hyperbole and a half. Win.
It happened many years ago yesterday.
They're my parents' checkbooks from our old, horrible house. I remember my mom sitting at the dining room table, head in hand, looking at the money disappearing. It made me feel powerless -- I was just a kid, born poor to young parents. Unable to do anything at all to control my future (or so I thought.)
Money comes and goes, and that doesn't bother me. The powerlessness is all. I've taught myself many life skills, but sometimes, I still feel like the child who grew up in "that house."
The scraps were used as packing material. The plastic egg contains a Cadbury egg left over from Easter, and they were mailed to a web-acquaintance, someone I've never met in person, but the first one I could find a mailing address for.
I want to send you something. Message me your address.
