so i was lucky enough to have seen brett's video last semester in its state prior to the edit. i found his work to be some of the most thoughtful and earnest of all of asu's current grads. i liked what he was willing to do and say then, and i think his chosen edits work well.
previously it was too long and seemed to function as two completely different videos that were just pushed together. i recall thinking that the message part of the previous video was the most direct and powerful part. i thought his willingness to video his family was amazing, but that set of video didn't carry the same punch. i think his use of text punctuates both the difficulty of what he heard on his answering machine and also reinforces the rhythm of her speech. the text works like visual confirmation and maybe puntuation of her words.
the images left in the video are careful and well placed and add to rather than take away from his efforts.
good stuff!
