I LIKE to see a video through a COMPUTER or through a PHONE to make SURE it looks good at its worst. I hate when you PERFECT something for the ideal way of consuming things, and then when you see it on YouTube, it looks like crap.

I always say that I am a big fan of films but I am an EVEN BIGGER fan of the FILMMAKING CRAFT.

A sponge is a funny animal to center a SHOW on. At first, I drew a few natural sponges - amorphous shapes, blobs - which was the correct THING to do biologically as a marine SCIENCE teacher. Then I drew a SQUARE sponge, and it LOOKED so funny.
