My first video essay. I provide my two cents about prevailing discourses about Minecraft's game design shortcomings. The footage was loosely shot with the script I had been working on in mind
A reflection on the themes of FNAF and the symbolic role the series has played in my life. Shame, fear, guilt... The shooting locations were partially planned beforehand
A second pass at grappling with FNAF. This time I sought to take a more concentrated look at the communit/y(ies) that has/have coalesced around the franchise. The video elements were all sourced from archive.org

I elected to use a top XX list as an excuse to smuggle in some of my observations about the community and franchise while still trying to pay people their dues
