the atmosphere on this list has been anything but backpatting the past month, so you should be happy. At this rate, we're either going to keep making better video and more ambitious projects (while keeping ourselves honest) or tear ourselves apart. there's a strange dynamic among members lately that I find interesting to watch. Ultimately, we got to remember that we're here to help each other. I really like the work that Brittany and Andreas have done at http://videoblogging.info/lumiere/. I love beefy, nutty manifestos. Rox didnt mean to offend Brittany, just pump up the project. having worked on many projects, it's always a huge success when something i've helped create gets bigger than me. sometimes being forgotten just means your meme has really penetrated. anyway...ryanne posted this already, but i want to give an example of another positive example of this group. http://ryanedit.blogspot.com/2008/01/brighton-days-4-and-5-navlopomo.html videos made all over the world played on the southern coast of england. Most of the 40 attendees had never seen videoblogs except youtube. too many people to give credit to....so ill name no one. praise god.
