Frame by Frame, take 2

Oh wow. Way more thoughts.

OK. First off, I started viewing the video by holding down the arrow on my keyboard which played more or less in slow motion, then I thought that maybe this was too fast and that Anne would want me to look for a second at each frame individually. I went back to the beginning and started again, thinking how indecisive I was being, I would watch the video to see if I hesitated at all. As I watched myself open my computer I was amazed at how fluid my hand movements have become, finding excatly the right groove, the right arc, and the right angle for the screen to rest for optimal viewing. I thought about writing things on my blog like "nice form John! Exellent gesture" just to be funny. But that might come off as being oddly vain and self important, best stick to objective things. I thought it was really cool that when I let go of the screen it wobbled back and forth for a second as if on a spring. I did notice that there are an awful lot of little motions i do completely unconsciously. I rest my fingers on top of the macbook surface, I put my hand on my face against my cheek, I should probably try not to do that one so much, and I swivel in my chair constantly. I thought about the shot. The composition was good but could have been much better. I like where the speaker is in the picture. I thought about how incredible it is that with a wireless internet connection I can open my compute and get to the site I need in less than 30 seconds. Thats incredible. I was a little disturbed at how smoothly I operated tha mouse. The idea that I spend so much time tracing my finger across this tiny little pad almost made me wince. What if I get carpal tunnal? I wanted to see if I made any visible signs of confusion when I couldn't find the "new post" button, but sadly my face was blank. I didn't hesitate either, which was surprising. As I typed in my username and password, again my technological proficiency scared me. Even in slow motion the whole thing seemed to go by so fast. All that technology with its spinning wheels and whiring microchips was happening just below my fingertips and I took it for granted. Weird. I wondered if this projects would have been better if my mnd really wandered from the task. Would it have been easier to observe? Or would it only be possible if I was not observing. A I leaned over to turn off the camera at the end of the video, I noticed another tick, I perse my lips a lot.
