Vlogbrother's 10 Year Rewind - January 1, 2007

Welcome to the 10 year rewind of Brotherhood 2.0. The post will consist of the embedded video in question and some note below regarding my thoughts. If not embedded, there will be a link.

This first video is short, there's the intro with The Smashing Pumpkins, which is always a nice touch along with the 2007 graphic thud. Pretty much all intros for Vlogbrothers were awesome.

Every moment of the video have something to offer. Autopower off, eyes in my eyes...

Of course, there's the little noticed thing where Hank tries to avoid his eye within his eye only to cut straight into him continuing to have said eye in his eyes. It's a nice cutaway joke.

Then there's the middle section where the project is outlined, which I think is well-shot even after all those years. Song 'Crazy' in the background is well-mixed with this grimmy feel of the shot.

There are lot of people who think there is a horror element to it, and Hank adds to that certainly, saying things like 'needle in my eye' like if they are participating in a Saw game or something.

Other people point out the quietness of Hank's voice, but strangely I don't feel as jarring as I thought.
Posts will get much shorter than this. It's general sense of fatigue. So, short posts coming soon.
