Frankenstein adapted

Frankenstein is a great novel, which adapts truth to the plot of a hopeless genius. This person is hopeless because he is not able to control his destiny due to a mistake made as a result of his fanatic view of progress. While reading Frankenstein on a number of occasions I have been able to see many beautiful ideas that are tweaked in order to make science look bad, progress look grim and the human destiny as flawed.

Because I love the book so much I thought I would re-adapt one of the sections that means something completely different from what it is supposed to and make it something completely the opposite of what it was intended to be. In this little video my daughter is walking along the beach already changing the feeling of the text by taking out a monster and inserting a child. Then chose a background that is completely different then that of the scene in the book, which is on top of a mountain. The music is supposed to emphasis the happy event taking place and the last word is changed from a miserable type of thing to a good thing.

By changing all of the underlying ideas associated with the text I believe I was able to take something completely scary and turn it into something that I really enjoy watching. Please if you have any comments or if you think I did a miss service to Shellie’s text let me know.
