The video cuts off at 1:48 as you are saying "well." That is intentional, correct? You were quite emo, maybe you should see a therapist like the boy? The whole piece was very creative considering the limited information we have about the boy...bringing in the girlfriend and therapist was an explanation I never would have thought of...it fits in Carver's world. Building bridges/mending fences...is it bad that all I could think of was the Robert Frost poem about fences? The elaborate lies for the gf sound cruel and perfect. Your lack of a face was fitting considering nothing is known about the appearance of the boy. I liked the fact that no text was provided. It made me hang onto the words as you spoke them.
James, Awesome video journal. I like your emo comment... this video and Carver's story are both pretty sad. I think you chose an interesting character, especially since we don't know much of anything about the son other than what the father tells us (through the bias lens). Also, clever ending... reminds me of a Christopher Nolan movie. I think the darkness you put in here (where we can't see anything really) is quite suitable given the content matter of the story.
Emooooooooo
