Why Video Essays Matter

from Media Mothership Hosted by Craig Norris

Angus Metcalf talks about video essays, not just as online content, but as a way of thinking in public. We discuss the emotional and creative labour behind making long-form work for YouTube, the strange intimacy the form creates between maker and viewer, and why video essays provides a space for slow, reflective conversation in an otherwise fast media environment.
