In this installment, I'm taking a look at a YouTube channel called Local 58 - COMMUNITY TELEVISION. As of now, Local 58 has seven videos on their channel. The videos tend to vary in length from anywhere between one and five minutes. I thought this would be an opportune chance to do a deep dive on an independent art project, specifically one that I feel merits your attention.
In this video, I'll be focusing my analytical lens on "You Are On The Fastest Available Route," the very first video in the Local 58 series. It was written and edited by Kris Straub, and it was based on an idea by Mikey Neuman. The video's only three minutes and thirty-nine seconds long, but I hope by the end of this analysis you'll appreciate just how thematically rich the material really is. As you may have gathered based on the title of this video, I'm yet again attempting a “close reading,” what is, in essence, a shot-by-shot analysis of the work. I've found this method to be fruitful in the past. Specifically, this is the method I employed in my Petscop Investigation series, in addition to the first installment of my analysis of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. We'll see how it goes this time around.
