Roberto Busa: the Father of Digital Humanities

Comments

The opening does well at pulling the viewer in. I also like the background music. There is also a nice narrative arc to the piece. The editing work with the images is also working well. I like the cutouts and animations. There is a lot of information coming at the viewer, so building in some transitions and looking for ways to pause or slow the pace could be good. for the final take, you might slow the narrative pace a bit, too; if the piece stretches out a bit, no worries. I'm not sure about the gaps between the first efforts and the 80s and 90s versions. There is no need to cover those later efforts, but maybe rework the transition into that to get some closure on the first work and set up the implications. This might help with weaving a bit more about the generative nature of the work and moves from mechanics to digital. This comes out at the very end well, so maybe a few transitions before that, etc. This is very strong, so these adjustments will take it the next level. Nice work.
