Video Ramble
I made my video! I'm going to share it here, as I know a few people were curious. Just a few things I need to explain first though.
It touches on dark topics. Cyclical OCD thoughts and mention of suicide. It's very much about how thoughts of Covid can affect mental health. BUT it has a reasonably happy ending!
It's longer than most people expect a poetry video to be.
I got paid for this, but it's from a special lockdown artists fund, which pays ten artists per week of lockdown to create a new piece of art. In that, we were told it didn't matter if we couldn't access top-of-the-range equipment, because shops/studios are closed. So I put this together myself with my Canon and Windows Live Movie Maker. Meaning you will have seen better videos. But I'm very proud! I've never made a video before. Unfortunately trying to get people to watch an 11 minute long poetry video about OCD thoughts during lockdown has been... tricky so I haven't had many views. More on Facebook than on Youtube, but I've no way of knowing if some of those people gave up halfway through.
If anyone has questions about anything in the video or poem, feel free to ask.
Watch out for the magical squirrel.
