A Stormy Story Review

A Stormy Story Review

Caitlin Jakubowski

My first reaction when watching the video is how uplifted and attentive I am while watching from the tone of the video. In a way my overall disposition is weathered up and down as the video progresses. When Tim brings in the stormy character, then the setting of the party with new friend( a subconscious thought at this point was already the idea of "social air" at the event, the overall feel and happening when the air is changed), its already got me brain storming. No cliche but it's directed in that sense, he want's you to brainstorm as the video progress till you understand whats actually going to happen. After it's all said and done you have a clear picture and understanding of , "A Stormy Story."

I would like to add that I think with your response you may go a little more into how you feel about what he's saying. There is points throughout where you add sarcasm and your own feel and those are my favorites. I think for the sake of this project you brought in a great video and have made a much greater connection within your archive, that's voicing something you may have not expected.

Also, in general over time I think clouds always add a sense of mystery... from predicting the weather, to allowing/denying us the right to see the stars. There is a much bigger metaphor with clouds and what they can establish mentally, physically, or even metaphysically. I believe you are really establishing that connection very well and the more your allow your presence in this archive to be, I think the more the meaning of the archive will come to life.
