man v. nature. exploring natural places and elements versus man made places and machines. solar power, wind power, dams/floods. overgrowth? documentation or visual exploration? how do we understand the narrative/point of the video piece? her concept isn't flushed out; talk about how the landscape has changed over time and the impact of that.
Man vs. Nature - video exploring natural places / elements vs. manmade places / machines; how man deals with nature (harnassing natural elements - solar, wind, water power (dams); wants to do effects, but not sure yet exactly what, maybe realtime background with 3D effects? man using for our benefit (video: windmills, solar panels (with clouds), lake shots) - really nice shots, but you need to make a statement - how do you feel about this? also showed one effects test (no concept with it yet); have the concept first; consider a trip to the Local History floor at Toledo main library; contrasting elements or progression could work really well. Even the very mediated quality of our metroparks are a presentation of nature.
