I really liked the idea that you took the ritual aspect and actually made a ritual. Very creative! Although the video could be seen as different stories with different meanings I dont think it hurt your video at all. Loved the fire effects!

Soo cute but joel is right very sad.. I loved that you were a part of the project tied up in all the wire. Very good correlation between the loved pet and loved technology!

Happy POP! lovee it.. and hate it.. the entire time I just wanted to say the next line but then another obnoxious song came on. The lyrics I wanted to write down to see the message that you are sending but it was a bit difficult to keep up since I would get so excited and like Gaby said all the memories from the past just kept popping up.

This video is about this idea thats been on my mind for a while, more like a theory really, of how it is better to want to want then to actually have. How if we only accepted the fact that we will always just want more and never be satisfied then everyone would feel better as accomplishments will be fulfilled. The little girl in the video is wishing and wanting and waiting. Feeling uneasy her wishes and desires are inside her..(the flower in her mouth) She ends up in a pleasant forest with flowers where there is no worry or stress just peace and ease but instead of being out and enjoying all the wonder shes in a flower cocoon just waiting again.. Waiting to be free maybe but this waiting is peaceful. This is how we should be.. accept the wait instead of dreading... It is more beautiful to live with desire and drive then no desire or drive. The music at the end was a part of my last music piece that I just thought went well with the imagery. as a growing intensity of what could be but isn't... which leads to her sleeping.

Performance audience mirror: video.... low performance of middle aged guy walking around and des ribing every move he makes and what is happening to his body as he takes each step.. describes his thoughts and what he thinks of the audience and what gestures they make. A performance about performance. Talking about what is honestly going on through the back of the mind during any other performance. taking what is thought and turning it into what is said. Actions we take with our unconscious mind.
