  • I remember when we did this poem in grade 6. My teacher referred to it as a comedy. However, as an adult, and after memorizing The Raven, I decided to look it up and memorize this one. Upon doing so there is nothing really funny about it. It's quite chilling (no pun intended) actually.

    Great job interpreting the poem in the creepy manner I pictured it.

  • @Devimix ...You're right in my opinion. It is creepy and not really much of a comedy.

  • I like your camera work on this. Especially the tracking shot in the shed that was good as was the shots of the sleds. Obviously you didn't have the money/resources for some top notch computer graphics or the fire scene could have been better but all in all a first rate effort

  • @prpgk1 ...That shot in the sled is a steadicam shot where i pull out from a greenscreen to reveal cap and sam at the table. The funny thing is, is that when i did the graphics it was the best i could get on the best machine possible but fire is always very hard to do. Maybe i should have shot real fire then superimposed it...you live, you learn.

  • Lots of work. Well done! Mr Service would be proud, I'm sure.

  • @bignug1 ..I hope Mr Service would have liked it. My mother told me my grandfather and service were friends in dawson city back in the day.

see all

  • I always thought this was a cool poem. No pun intended. For one who has spent time in the north, the poem is quite fitting. You really can't understand this until you have felt your nose and ears freeze in the intense cold. I love this poem.

  • It's grim, but there's a certain black humor to it. It was one of my dad's favorites, and one of mine too.

  • 5:58 HE MAN!!! XD

  • @svenidol ..cheers svenidol. Glad you liked it.

  • @oldmanHGJ Thanks for the kind words oldman.

  • Cheers ...MrThebakugannerd i'm glad you liked it and i hope it wasn't too creepy. :)

  • I have to memorize this poem!
