Creative Work

Haven't been here in a while, and I do have an explanation. As an assignment for my class, we (as in all of the students separately) have to come up with some form of "creative work" that is influenced by the work of Emily Dickinson. This can be anything; song, dance, poetry of your own, a film, basically anything that you can do to express your creativity, and the influence that Dickinson has had on your work. I decided to do the video, and have been using every free second of the last week to the effect. For the first few days I was trying different concepts with the filming, along with a vast number of Dickinson's poems, and my results were turning out to be less than satisfactory. Last night however, I had a break-through, and one of the techniques I tried ended up turning out perfectly. Of course I have a complaint about my work; I have this thing about demanding that my own things can always be better. I'm afraid that the one I liked turned out far too dark, but my friend who is editing for me says he can work with that to make it better. So, my small film is almost done, and will be long before I present on Tuesday.
