Make Believe

This mashup video is from a sophomore college class in 2003. I’m going to have to re-master it one of these days (some of it uses VHS source) and re-scan the Sandman stills–apologies; they can be hard to read at times.

Despite this, it’s still one of the things I’ve done that I’m most proud of. There’s a short essay (PDF) that goes along with it, if you’re so inclined.

    Lauren, that’s the bomb! I think you used most of my favorite Sandman panels - particularly the one about Desire.

    @ cheryl, @robert Wow guys, thanks! I was oddly nervous about posting this one. So glad you liked it. I’d like to do more videos like this…when I get the time. :-)
