This channel is as ambiguous as my interests. There’s no real concept here beyond stimulating those rods and cones that hide at the back of our eyeballs. If the films make your pulse race, your brain buzz or your eyeballs stop blinking then I think I’ve accomplished something. In recent years the cost of filming high-quality video has fallen dramatically and these days most anyone with a little money to kick around can buy a camera capable of professional level results. The only thing required is a little talent and the dedication to see a project through. The great thing about this channel is the films selected are not limited by their story. There are many films I watch in the movie theater that seem to have a story simply as an excuse for the filmmaker to shoot some beautiful film footage. None of the films on the channel are chasing an Oscar. One thing this collection of films have in common is they direct our attention from the things we see in our everyday life and focus them on a subject we may not have considered otherwise. They reenergize our powers of observation the way a change in diet might energize our taste buds. By taking some time to look at something new and beautiful we can observe our own environment with new eyes. What discoveries might await us in our own homes and communities if we look with a new pair of eyes?! I hope my audience finds a new way to look at things watching this channel. I chose selections for the ‘Best Of’ from the Look channel the way I did for the Reanimation. These films are simply ones I remember most - not necessarily the most popular.
