My children love video essays so I thought I would make one. Maybe an hour of writing and recording while traffic piled upon more traffic outside and the world went to hell by the sound of it, and a further 11 hours cutting and pasting and trimming media files. Was it worth it? Has the world’s stockpile of “Jaws” commentary benefited? We’ll see when I get my Iranian caviar and two cases of apricot brandy.
