I'm a college professor, looking for something to help my students relate to this story. I look and look and look--but there are only the regular talking heads, audiobooks, and badly done student projects. Then . . . this. Wow. Beautiful artistic piece that truly explores the piece on a deep level. Thank you.

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

I watched this in a college English class years ago. it has stuck in my head ever since! I hope your students enjoy!

[@griffincody862]

@Michael Terrence It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account!

[@exhileris4k857]

usually, choppy stop-motion would be considered amateurish, but the fact that you made it works is astonishing!

[@sarangzambare4646]

Most amazing depiction of the story. Especially the music really resonates so much with the vibe of the story , so much as to come to mind at every glimpse of gothic art. :)

[@scruffy281]

This is just so fabulous! So well done......It was really touching and extremely artistic. Thanks so much for sharing this....... ; )

[@Jpjeppi]

Amazing animation, distilling the essence of the story into 5 mins with beautiful art and haunting music. And having the story be "told" by turning the pages of the narrator's diary is brilliant. Thank you very much! I'll have my grad students watch it (after they read the story).

[@cyborgsaiko]

i’m so blown away - you’ve captured it so well !! the stop motion really makes you feel that sense of urgency and antsiness she felt. such a great decision with the blank hands,, to not being able to distinguish her between the other women trapped in that wallpaper.

[@elenaheuze]

oh my god this is so well done, thank you so much for sharing! so creative

[@senpaiwithpie2092]

i've done stop-motion animation before but this was seriously well made. I love it so much. very well done!!! nice choice of music and the planning sems to be well made. everything flowed very smoothly. 10/10 would watch it again!!!

[@eloisa1904]

Great work. This is beautiful in many ways.

[@chrisyarberry7907]

Great video! The music was perfectly eerie, the tearing of the wallpaper, and the creeping . . . does the story phenomenal justice , a work of art !!

[@wisemeat]

I've just been watching several visual interpretations of this short story and I believe this is the best one yet! Excellent work.

[@saigelowery5917]

You can´t put me back!

[@patriciasalvatore2394]

I read the yellow wallpaper several years ago and didn't know it was about the oppressive lives of women. I thought it was about one woman descending into madness, while keeping her ability to explain what was happening to her. Descending more deeply into madness because she saw it happening to her was the most frightening thing about it. I am a woman and at 65 yrs of age....,umm, I can see where this is going now.

[@cottonspike]

Imagine if this was for a school project. I would be shocked

[@isaaoliver2686]

Awesome

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

Please please upload the music! it's so beautiful, almost discordant especially where all the "women" are creeping around by the wall...

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

+Kawthar Bakhach I'm listening to it while writing my analysis haha

[@xpetra82]

WOW! gr8 work!

[@VietDucBerlin]

real nice piece of work. i'm always wondering where all of you get to buy that ugly wallpaper. is there any factory producing that modell especially for TYW interpretations? :)

[@deadlykiss827]

Wallpaper music?

[@TheBlackDogChronicles]

Good on you for the effort. It would have been good however if you had affixed your camera to a tripod, so the POV did not bounce around everywhere. It distracts from the gentility of the music.

[@slango5188]

I think it adds an effect of putting us in the narrator's shoes. It would be more aesthetically pleasing if the POV was fixed, but the piece wasn't written to make readers comfortable. I liked the paradox between the unstable shots and the gentle music. I think it makes it more authentic, I guess. I see your point, though

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

I wonder how they did all this without showing hands/fingers

[@Chloe-nj2db]

Kawthar Bakhach Hi! It's called stop motion animation, where the director takes tons of pictures of frames and puts them all together to form a video.

[@Esme_Grey]

This is a great piece of literature and shouldn't be condemned solely to "feminist lit". In every analysis I read these people go on about the obvious feminist symbolism not seeing that there's much more here.

[@marionrohrleitner7520]

Why is it "just" feminist literature? Are you implying feminist concerns are somehow not important or universally relevant?

[@slango5188]

1. Calling a piece feminist lit isn't condemning it??? 2. You're right! It's about feminist symbolism AND how women's health was severely neglected in the late 19th century (and it still is, which is why it's still so relevant to feminist lit) :)
