What's the Michael Verdi technique? lol As for that guy's comments... I've talked to Jen about this in general, maybe she can say what she thinks, but I think part of the reason we haven't seen more filmmakers as videobloggers and we get comments like that is that they have a lot invested in the methods, equipment, esthetic, and distribution system of film. Basically I think there is an underlying basic misunderstanding of how videoblogging differs from filmmaking. Now I don't think it's this guys fault necessarily. I tell people all the time that, though I understood videoblogging on an intellectual level right away, it took about 6 weeks of actually posting, watching, and commenting to really get a much deeper understanding of what's really powerful about videoblogging. -- Verdi <URL: http://michaelverdi.com/ > <URL: http://freevlog.org/ > <URL: http://node101.org/ > ------------------------ Yahoo!
