    Gursajan - I didn't hate the expo marker thing as much as I thought I would. I think you used it effectively to convey the points you were making in your spoken presentation. I do think the beginning was a little wild with the lack-of-sleep thing, but all-in-all, you really conveyed your points.

    I think you need to 1) work on your speaking presence when you're in front of the camera. You spoke clearly and emphatically when you weren't on the film, but became slightly more meek and nervous when you were on camera. 2) articulate your methods and what you'll be doing a little more clearly. Obviously this is the newest part, so it's the least developed, but we need to try to make it as strong as your context and significance.

    I think you did an INCREDIBLY strong job with the context and significance of your research.

    GG! Love the intro -- Gambino's new album was a beautiful touch. Also, we have the same Duke posters in both of our videos which is hilarious.

    Anyway, I think your project is looking really good so far. I was pretty convinced when you were talking about how your project speaks about our culture even though it primarily looks at Japanese culture.

    Also, I understand how subtitles are more true to the Japanese culture than the dubbing process; however, it might be helpful to mention that even translating Japanese to English has its limitations. What I mean is that sometimes there are Japanese words that may lose their meaning when being translated. But I don't think you need to worry about this too much, it might just be a limitation worth mentioning.

    Finally, I agree with Mrs. Haag that you could be a little more exciting when talking about your project. Come on man! This is what you're passionate about. Add some facial cues and sprinkle a bit of hand gestures. But good job with everything else. As the great Gambino would say, "Stand tall."

    The expo marker drawing was great at showing the main points of your presentation and really helped simplify the argument. The context and significance were amazing and I don't think you left anything out there.

    I am a bit hazy on your methods. Have you figured out how you are going to determine the themes or what changes you are going to be looking at? Are you going to categorize certain things together? I think you need to touch on this more.

    I agree with Sergio and Mrs. Haag you seem a bit dead when talking about your project. You loose all your energy and emotions. Be as enthusiastic as you are in class about your project :)
