I missed the original post on this thread. Can someone repost it. I'm curious about this one regarding filmmakers as videobloggers. I am actively trying to recruit some of my friends who are filmmakers to open up to vlogs. A few are in the process of starting their own now.  Lynn Lynn Lane Coal River Pictures/SKILLZ DVD Magazine website: www.CoalRiverPictures.com email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] vlog: http://docmaker.blogspot.com feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/docmaker AIVF/IDA Ring 8 Member NYC On Oct 19, 2005, at 10:57 AM, Verdi wrote: On Oct 19, 2005, at 9:15 AM, Steve Garfield wrote: > He hasn't heard of the Michael Verdi technique of commenting I guess. 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!
