With that said, I do like your explanation as to why. It is often hard to make work that is soooo directly related to our personal lives, especially when the audience knows that that's the objective. Could you get anymore personal than, "make something about your strengths and weaknesses?" It's hard to do that without a filter.Chris Naglikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551025058135649861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7097092696802751647.post-89667952932758520612012-10-24T15:38:40.959-07:002012-10-24T15:38:40.959-07:00I agree with Bruce, the collage seemed easier for ...I agree with Bruce, the collage seemed easier for me and I was slightly more invested due to its personal nature. I also stated on his blog how the video seemed to confine me. I love how you pointed out that the collages as a child are different than the one you made now due to the difference in what is important. I found this to be quite true for me as well.

I believe that the video was. The fact that it was old and lacked any real interest made it more challenging for me because I wasn't sure how i would make it interesting enough for my viewers. <br /><br />I do agree though that our projects were very different. I always enjoy seeing how people take the same video or any medium and change it. The fact that we all had different ideas made the video a lot more interesting to look at and mad it a lot more modern as well.
