  • Comments: This video explores the relationship between Anne as a child and Marilla as an unlikely mother figure. But I think the ideas aroused by their interactions go deeper, to a contemplation of our own mortality. As Marilla starts out having everything in life her way, it is interesting that she found true meaning through caring for a rambunctious ten-year-old with chaos in her wake. Anne makes her own sacrifice, too, in the end, staying to care for Marilla rather than pursuing a flight of fancy that might have gotten her farther in the future.

    I think what strikes me most is how beautiful some of the footage is. I tried to take advantage of a lot of upward panning or zooming shots when there wasn't action in the picture. A video that gives me a good feeling when I watch it is one where I find myself swaying or moving with the music, and there are parts here that make me forget I'm sitting like a lump on the couch when I re-watch this film. Those parts are definitely my favorites.

    The file up on my site is a Quicktime *.mov file. You will need the free Quicktime 7 player, available from Apple.com, to play the video. If you liked the video but think the CQ stank, guess what... it DID! That's right, I finally discovered the beauty of Sorensen Video and have uploaded a remastered copy. It's the same filesize with a much better picture, so if you downloaded before 10/11/2005, be a good fan and update your video now!
