After my next batch of midterms I plan on finishing all 556 minutes of it. Anyone watch it? Youtube here:

I got through 8/23. Pretty awesome. But the first parts are shot in near darkness. It helps to go to full screen to cut back the resolution so you see better.

I did a small copper scuplture once and I can testify that shit is toxic. I couldn't believe those guys working with out even a small mask. They really should be wearing filtered face masks. Grim fucking life.

My only criticism so far is the work needs a little more formal structure. I'd like to see these guys around their families or outside work in their worker apartment or dorm or where ever they live.

I also think I understand the reason they go to work even if they are not getting paid or paid in full. What else is there? My landlord (from rural so. China) for example comes over here and works in the basement of the back building most days he can. He doesn't know how to do anything but work. He also has a part time janitor job at BHS.
