The Task:  A two minute explainer about the history of glasses.

The Goal:  Dispel the (quite false) public opinion that glasses were invented by doctors and scientists, to treat myopia.  

The Progress:  Slowly McSlowlypants.

At least you now know that you’ll be treated only to the most high tech in 3D animation and magnificent special effects.  The pinnacle of modern timey cinematography.

(and things are actually along further than those screenshots may suggest …)

But that’s why there isn’t more articles goodness here for you today.  Even just figuring out the overhead rig and lighting and buying things ate up much of the weekend.  Video, the largest ever procrastination project?

We’ll see.
