Indeed. I shot 2.5 hours of footage over 2 days and I'm probably in the minority. It really is hard for any set of videos to really communicate the experience of Maker Faire. Even being there in person, there is too much going on to see it all. I love what Andrew did breaking up different pieces into their own videos. Maybe I'll do the same. For now, here's a video I put together for GETV with a couple longer interviews linked from the post.
