Stray Notes:\r
\r
- Sorry if my Lacanian summary is unclear. I am not a psychology major, so I had to read and re-read a bit of Lacan to get a good idea of what is being presented. I hope I hit the major things.\r
- I am hugely against different aspect ratios. Since Im not talking about the cinematography of Evangelion, I decided to manually align 4:3 footage into a 16:9 frame. I hope this doesnt bother anyone.\r
- Note, I am not a huge EVA fan, so I am more than certain many of you (probably most of you) are aware of the diagetic narrative particularities associated with the material.\r
