Thank you! I really appreciate the comments. It was a fun project to work on -- I liked doing the research and planning the props.

As an English teacher and fan of Gilman's writing, I've seen a few video interpretations and this is one of the best for sure - an effective mix of realism & fantasy, the focus on forced meds also makes it quite contemporary. Your play with sound and image come together well in this potent video rendition of Gilman's famous story "The Yellow Wallpaper".

This is the definition of amazing. I love how you did it without dialogue, it sets it apart from the other adaptions! I love this so much! Everything was perfect, setting, props, wow. This must have take a lot of time!

Your animation work was supurb. Your set design was very well constructed. Costume and lighting were well thought out. Your work with keeping continuity all the way through with that bit of music was nice. The imagery with the black backing was powerful. All in all this was a very well made movie and I very much appreciate you sending that to me via Video Responce. Very good work.
