SPIN

WoW! I was not prepared for this video. It was incredible. I loved the beat, and I had to watch it several times before I started realizing the true meaning in the message. I couldnt stop tapping my feet to the beat. I tried sitting still in my seat - ha forget it.

The message was interesting. At first I was thinking, okay the DJ is learning a lesson in meddling with time. You change one event you change a dozen and the outcome is more than likely not going to be what you intended. One injured person was far better than the many he injured in the first try. As he kept trying, he started to notice the other people that were involved but not directly involved. YOu cant just change an event, you have to change the people affected by the event for a better outcome. I was curious of why he couldnt keep the ball from falling out of the bag in the first place - but that would defeat the purpose of the video.

As he kept trying, more humans errors came into view. I absolutely enjoyed the frustration look in his face as he had to keep going - the determination he had to get it right. 

When he starts studying the others in the scene, he gets that "Ok" I get it look on his face and knows what needs to be done. Once he takes in all the dangers, he backs it up and changes actions from all angles, which is depicted by him highlighting each person and they circle on the screen as if being analyzed.

Then the real fun begins with the old man reliving old memories with a basketball, his wife taking in the scene wishing to join, takes a chance to stand out of the wheelchair. The student street dancing for money observes the old man bouncing the ball and takes the beat into his steps, thus intriguing the little girl who passes through the "shadow of death" to get a better view. The three men with the weapons are awed by the innocence and part ways, avoiding a fight. The biker bumps into a business man, knocking something out of his hands which then the dog runs after the object but stopped by a young man. The dog owner, a young woman, rushes after her dog, thankful the young man was there to catch him and a relationship builds. The biker is never hit by the car and another friendship builds between business man and the biker. The drug dealer takes in the entire view, looks at the old couple longing to be sharing a life with someone at their age. He then looks at the young couple who just met thanks to the dog longing for a relationship. He then sees the college student break dancing for money and drops all he has into his glass - knowing the student will use it for more good than himself. Thus, everything is balanced and he is pleased with his work. "It is good"

My favorite part was at the end when the little girls doll breaks. Representing innocence and having the ability to see things that adults do not - she looks at the DJ. Baffled by the experience he looks around to make sure she is staring at him with pleading eyes to fix her doll. After all he has done, it seems silly and he walks away but quickly stops in his steps to fix her doll then dashes out of sight. The child had the remarkable ability to sense the presence of the DJ and understood who he was, and what he was capable of.

It was an interesting view of how God works in our lives everyday and how others affect our lives whether it be directly or indirectly. Our actions have a part in others lives, no matter how small. Take a look at the basketball - a small object that causes chaos and affects everyone.

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this video - the creativity is outstanding. I only wish I was capable of making such videos - but I will play my part by watching and enjoying!
