Taylor Engelsman Crit

Taylor's research video piece is about Syracuse University, the video is made up of different shots of various places on campus such as the quad, the bus station, the Hall of Languages, Crouse, etc. Anyone who goes to SU or is familiar with the campus will know what is being shown in each of the shots. Each video clip has a nice looking composition, and there's a very aesthetic quality about the entire piece as a whole. It's simple and there's not much use of sound except for the very end of the piece, but I think it works because it allows you to really pay attention and focus on the images. There's one clip in particular of a sunset that had a total duration of about 45-50 minutes but it has been sped up and now has a very nice look to it, I think it's one of the highlights of the piece.
