Henry Vilas Zoo: A Documentary

This video was my Final project for Commarts 335 course at UW Madison in Fall 2005. I think I got an AB which is like an A- or a B+. That's pretty generous in my opinion. What is this movie about you ask? It's about Lions and Bears and the money it costs to take care of the beastly beast monsters. It also deals with the feelings that simple townies have towards living just a few yards away from these dangerous monstrosities of fury and death, which could probably kill them at any time. But how would I know? I really wasn't paying attention. In fact, if the Eric of now, 2007, went back to talk to the Eric of 2005, 2007 Eric would tell 2005 Eric how lazy he was and that all his academically based movie projects were offensive---in hindsight. That couldn't happen though. But then again, I wouldn't really know. I didn't do a documentary on wormholes and time travel, I did it on the Madison Zoo.

That is a pretty generous grade, but you gathered A LOT of footage too. I'm amazed! I am a little disappointed you didn't delve into the history of the zoo or the nearby arboretum. I also don't quite understand the sarcasm in your video description, I can only assume its in response to somebody whose comment has been deleted.

Eric, did you ask them what they did to the badger? Or the zoo keeper Ms. Couger? There in my video BUCKYSTEIN #1 but they weren't in yours......why?
