Rob effectively demonstrates how different “web tv” can (should?) be from “real tv”. I’m also amazed by the short episode lengths. It seems like it should be impossible to do what he does here in only one minute and 38 seconds. It doesn’t feel rushed at all. I do feel like the it’s missing closure, though. The video, not the story. I think a slightly altered version of the five second opening coupled with a URL and contact information would do the trick.
Next To Heaven Episode 2.3 - The Burn by Rob Parrish
From a recent TBD story about the show:
The juxtaposition of the archive films’ choreographed, wholesome imagery with Parrish’s unwholesome, anachronistic narratives makes for an entertaining several minutes. But he’s also making a larger point about manipulation through media, which is all too common. “It’s really kind of important to the whole project, the unreliability of officially sanctioned imagery,” he says. “Authority figures put out media and they say, ‘This is it.’ That may be what it looks like on the surface, but that’s not all there is. There’s always something deeper and more complex than what’s on the surface. That little old lady isn’t always who she seems to be.”
