Get Closer

90 second video. I really don't want to say too much about this, because the message is strongest if you go into it blank. It doesn't take up a lot of your time. Sound is not necessary for the message, though apparently the song used is powerful for some people.

On the subject of going into something totally blank, I don't hink that is possible, and i's definitely difficult in our meida-saturated age where people get very used to making judgements about media before they ever experience it. Just knowing you, I was assuming this would have something to do with performance and, because Alexx recommended it to me, I knew it wouldn't involve abuse of women or children, or creepy sexual predators. Can I ask how you found this video? I'm just curious because of course the setting in which you first heard of it would give you some hint of the content

I found the video on Tumblr, following the site The Daily What. The direct URL to their posting is http://thedailywh.at/2011/10/13/psa-of-the-day-28/.

I totally get what you mean about being unable to go in blank. If I could go back, I'd try to set people up more to expect the right tone of message, since I could do that without spoiling the actual reveal of the video.

Thanks for the compliment on my description!
