hey beth-- i like the idea of a videoblog showing "slow travel". i assume i got to fly everywhere, but id like to be convinced otherwise. youve been on this list enough to know that you got to do it yourself. make a blog for the project, shoot and edit the videos, commit to a schedule, raise money from the community. In the end, im sure youll even have enough for a documentary...but thats really out of the scope of this group. i think many of like NOT having to think of long works. we'd never get anything done. I encourage you to check out our new project: showinabox.tv Sounds like your project is perfect. we're pimping out a wordpress theme, plus customized plugins, to help creators get help to do ambitious videoblogging projects. The big highlight of the project will be the new Pledge Drive that will let you set a monthly financial goal youll need during your production. People can then use Paypal to pledge money in a one-time payment or automatic monthly payments. We've been using an initial version of it here: http://havemoneywillvlog.com/2007/02/06/lives-in-focus-family-life-behind-bars anyway...im a big believer in momentum and just getting started. a little each day and youll do it. feel free to join our list: http://groups.google.com/group/show-in-a-box Jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://politicalvideo.org 500 hours of George Bush speeches!!
