I've just been watching your videos, Stan. Great stuff. For those who haven't seen http://pineplainsviews.com Stan is documenting the rural area he's moved to.
He has a great video story about the life of a dairy farmer as he prepares to sell his herd. http://www.pineplainsviews.com/video-stories/the-dairy-farm Lots of space and time taken showing the farmer at work - you can see from his posture and limp (and that of his farm hand) how hard the work is, and the camera stays with that. Nice presentation of the story in simple little chunks over several pages, with explanatory text - he suggests a linear progression through the story, but the viewer can also easily browse, skip forward and back through videos and pages at will. I did. Good interactive non-linear format, especially for the non tech savvy. Also, his videos have enough time and space in them to allow you to read the accompanying text while you're watching the video and consider both together. In one sense, the videos are purely observational, but the text allows him to put a point of view without voiceover/titles/talking heads.

And frankly, that's fine with me because content is why I got into it in the first place a few years ago.
