Hi Craig.
My takeaway from the video was one of exploring and expanding. I also took away the exploration of Antarctica. I felt the images matched well with the audio. The text that you utilized also paired well with the images and audio.
The image that stood the most to me was the picture of the globe and the video of the penguns. I also felt you did a great job timing the images with the audio.
Overall, great job on the video. I can tell you put a lot of time and thought into the storyline.
Hi Craig. My takeaway from your video is the concept that expedition is part of the process for human evolution. Gathering resources, cultivating land, and adapting to new environments enables our species to shift and push boundaries that previously kept humans confined before industry and technology came into existence. Your timing for still images and crop in, crop out technique worked very well to keep me engaged. The use of video gave me a fuller sense of what it really looked and felt like back in that era. MediaSoundsystem’s derivative of “The Key” has a great tempo, beat, and vocals to supplement your images and video. The music also evokes a sense of exploration and “push forward” to me. Your repetitive use of “Expand, Collect, Collect and Expand, Expand and Collect, Evolution” help drive the points that stood out to me for human evolution. Really great job on your video!
Hi, Craig!
What I mainly took away from the video was the ways that humans’ interactions with Antarctica have evolved over time. I assumed this was viewed in a negative light, as the text seemed large and threatening and the music seemed ominous. It’s definitely a theme I wouldn’t have thought to put with this music, which I think is good! I think that the editing overall was interesting and varied, even though I was a little disoriented at times (that may have been part of the point). I especially loved your inclusion of video clips and pictures within pictures. I thought the repetition of text was great, too.
