I think this is both beautiful and fascinating. An insight into the wide range of views seen daily by OCA students.
Really interesting, especially trying to guess who lives where. And, finally disappointed that I did not make the effort 🙁
So many views, so many lives. Quite compulsive viewing.
How beautiful. Love the trains, the rainbow – and the ‘Rear Window’ one!
So intriguing glimpsing into the habitats of others …. I absolutely love the sea view from Ireland at 3 mins 15, quite beautiful !
Brilliant.. Some one let the cat in!
Loved it – sat watching with a silly sort of grin on my face.
It really works well, my favourites are the Scottish landscape getting gently morphed by the raindrops and the “Physical Graffiti” view from New York.
brilliant.
Interesting and great viewing yes, but what I (again) took most from it, being little things that I relate to personally!
The automatic / electric blinds from the first Switzerland clip took me right back to a little pension I stayed in when I was in Bern years ago, and I was fascinated by a building with these blinds that opened in the morning…
Same with the Scotland clip, bringing back memories of a rainy bus trip I did while backpacking through the north…
So, on that level, there is a subjective response, combined with the knowledge that (some) of these are people I know through OCA…
Yes, I like.Thanks Gillian.
Really enjoyed this.
Great. Made me think someone in Creative Writing should do a poetry view in just a couple of lines each.
Interesting that everybody seems to live in a sunny place where there is no rain!
I thoroughly enjoyed taking part. Thank you Gillian.
Great to read that many of you have enjoyed watching it, I’ll pass on the feedback.
Yes, great and brought together so nicely. thanks Gillian
Thanks Gillian – what a great project. Loved the Ireland view!
I love the way the film demonstrates scattered individuals joining in common purpose.
I couldn’t decide whether this was interesting or just plain boring. I initially wanted to switch off after a couple of minutes but stayed until the end so maybe it has some fascination.
I tried to imagine, having seen the place of filming, what scene was going to come through & it was fascinating! Thanks, Gillian.
