YouTube has always been my favorite website. Every time that I am on a device that is connected to wifi, I will most likely go on YouTube to see what videos have been recently uploaded by my favorite content creators. Naturally, one of my favorite subsections of Post-Lit is FLV-Lit, known as Flash-Video-Lit. From that section on the syllabus, one of my favorite discoveries is the work of Steve Roggenbuck. The first video that I checked out from him was his most popular video, "make something beautiful before you are dead (2012)." I absolutely loved the style of this video: the quick cuts of random humor, the unapologetically amateurish framing of himself in the shots, and the slow-building change of emotion from strictly humor to an added layer of truths about life. The simple statement, "make something beautiful before you are dead," struck a chord within me to accomplish just that. My final project will be something that I hope to call beautiful. One of my ideas for the project is to take all of the FLV's that we watched both in class and on our own and "edit" them into a narrative that addresses both E-Lit's themes and Roggenbuck's video poeticism.
