Ripley's most amazing-Adam Harrison-Trent

   In watching this interview with Edward Myers, the principal means of the storytelling is done through both the visual images of the artwork and through the non-diegetic recording of Myers, who is explaining the artwork. In describing what micro-artwork is, and how it is made, the clip is primarily focused on displaying the minuteness of the art, and the intricacies of the manufacturing process, all of which is conveyed in the film through the use of video from its creation, as well as from the interview with Myers, who is explaining the art, the process, the artist, and how Ripley’s came to own some of the art pieces. In addition to these, there are also several transitional animations that help to move the visual plot along. Along with the visual aspects, there is also the audio component from the interview, where Myers explains the details about each piece in the collection. In addition, we also hear from the artist, Willard Wigan, who explains in better detail the complexities involved in creating microscopic art, which adds to our understanding of the collection as a whole. Accompanying throughout the entirety of the clip is muted piano that also aides in the overall enjoyment of the video.
