MINICONCEPTDOC #23: CRASS

---

I'm happy. I got to talk about one of my favorite activities: reading comics. And, I got to shoot this MCD on a twenty year old VHS camcorder!

With CRASS, I was trying to talk about it as a label for comics, but I was also trying to create an unrefined or crass look to the video. I think I achieved it in these ghostly images you see are about to witness. Right?

It's a static shot that lasts about sixteen minutes... Which is how long it took to read this particular issue of Amazing Spider-Man. For the sake of the audience's attention span, I sped the footage up to contain it under three minutes.

It's kind of amusing to play it back and look at all my strange habits, ticks, movements. In high speed it really accentuates the small things, or better, puts one's behaviors under a microscope. Apparently I like to choke myself while I read comics. Who knew?
