Things included in my video are small clips of my family and my interactions with them on a daily basis. regular family life is what im trying to show and also have pictures of other family members except that those are shown through pictures instead. 

My Mother is a big part of my life. she has always been there for me and gets me whatever i need or at least puts effort into getting it for me when asked. she tries hard to make me and the others in my house happy, even if it means she wont be benefiting from . My newborn sister, my 1st real sister that i would be watching over, living with, is introduced in my video. she is shown several times with almost every family member and also her own video showing her free-spirited innocence. she is a huge part of my life and without her presence, would most definately re-arrange my AWOL. My brother and i have a small film strip together where i include a scene where we are just talking and bring up the camera's visibility, as if we had nothing else to talk about. i bring this up because i am  trying to show that my brother and i carry no more special bond, or a stronger friendship than most others would have. We are being seen as two ordinary brothers who get along at times, but still go against at times. we are seperable, independant, and not as close as should be, but still love each other and care for one another without those words even being spoken.

My AWOl is plain, and average to me. i show nothing special than a mediocre sized apartment with a medium sized family enjoying each others company. I especially love my introduction tho, showing my ride home to Roosevelt Island through the eyes of a passenger on the Tram. i didnt want to show a silly train ride home like most others would attempt. what was bad about it was the lack of sound in my home videos, but at least i had captions up giving the viewer a slight idea of whats being proposed there. I wouldve included my 2nd family, whos been in my life since i was about 6. that is my stepmother Milly, my stepbrother Miguel, and my stepsister Melony, my half-sister who lives with them and is sibling with is included in my video but only her because of low number of photo attempts due to the projects due-date.

hey chris,

ending and beginning were eye-capturing.

liked your analysis - which you'd expanded it.
