I took a look at his few offerings and the pattern, the steady pulse of the individual videos, the easy -but very
polite way the subject matter is displayed, is very effective.
You're given the impression that what you're viewing is merely a new conduit that a 'Professor'-styled academic
-who may be heavily involved in this phenomena elsewhere and with others of standing, is trying out.
In one of his films, there's a Fade-In/Fade-Out overlay of a younger Mr. Saunders allegedly discussing 'Etherology'
with someone else and he uses it confirm a point of view.
It's subtle in it's revealing and doesn't smack of someone unsure about editing!
It hints of an acceptance by a person we'd tend to think would snort at such a 'hairy-fairy' topic and suggests
this unlikely fellow has a gift of finding these creatures in a world such a talent should be boasted about.
At a time when most YouTube videos hold the perception of stereotypical characters in stereotypical situations
that don't purvey the realities we all have to deal with, these few videos offer either a real person who accepts
his failings of who he is, or a very good actor portraying someone from a past era.
He pulls his trousers up, apologises for his belly being shown and comments that he's rectified the problem
by wearing a T-shirt. He mentions that he has to take his vehicle in for it's MOT test, and in one episode, relates
that he's very hungry because a Pixie has stolen his only sandwich.
Heck, he even provides footage of the little thief carrying it off!
Mr. Saunders' mannerisms are brilliant! The way he feigns confidence by trying to lean on a tree with his hand
and then other times, shoves his hands into the pockets of his sagging trousers. All ways of quashing an exciting
subject by relating that it's regular and he's accepted the phenomena.
In this way, he gently keeps the viewer from frowning in doubt of such things!
Sadly, the CGI lets him down because it's just too good.
Granted, we could surmise that these elusive creatures only show themselves to someone at peace with who
they are and that we're so wrapped up with today's supposed woes that we fail to take the time to truly observe
the world around us, but the way the Pixies dawdle and allow themselves to be filmed, would mean such alleged
beings would have been caught by now.
Considering we're asked to accept this slightly-scruffy gent who keeps mislaying his hat and struggles with his
embarrassment of talking into the camera, could it still be that he can identify pixie habitats and acquire footage
of them?
It's all very well put together and Mr. Saunders' affable, pious manner goes a long way to keep it working.
Personally, I hope he makes more videos.
