So, I've made this vid which tries to explore the film criticism idea of the male gaze, where the viewer is assumed to be a straight male. That's why you get so many movies where clothed men talk as bikini-clad women saunter past.
I believe *Teen Wolf* is angling for the 'female gaze' as the director appears to believe that every scene is 100% better if the male actors are semi-naked. You can almost hear him shouting: 'Excellent, but is there anyway to set this in the showers? And bring in more oil!'
So, you can either view this as a montage of semi-naked men set to the Weather Girls' *It's Raining Men* or as an exploration of the fe/male gaze. Or both, I guess.
I'd like some advice. Specifically, is it too information heavy at the beginning? Is it clear they are looking at a blackboard? And is it clear that all the shots came from *Teen Wolf*, because the gay bar scenes are actually from that source. Because, you know, the director is always brainstorming ways to get more partly naked men in the shots.

*Teen Wolf*?
Aug. 31st, 2013 03:06 pmUm, I was not paying enough attention at the end of *Teen Wolf*. So, what happened? Did a whole lot of people die and then come back to life?
I made some cards for the Christmas exchange in the *Teen Wolf* fandom. I really really enjoyed this, as it played to my strengths.
All the images are completely safe for viewing as they were made in Pearl's company as I explained that the show is about a boy who has the magical ability to turn into a puppy. He has all kinds of adventures as a puppy, but sometimes people think he is a runaway pup and then his friend has to explain that he belongs to him.

Alas, I have not received any in exchange. I suspect they are stuck in Washington state if Western Australia was abbreviated to WA.
