Documentary Blogs

...I'm going to be posting them. I haven't figured out all the details yet, but I'm planning on doing a series of semi-weekly blogs that contain documentary videos on specific topics. This a) gives me a chance to blog with a purpose, and b) allows me to put to use all of the learning I've been doing over at hv20.com. Forums can be an incredible way to pick up knowledge- I can't believe how much info I've picked up from this awesome community of do-it-yourself filmmakers. Lynda.com has also been an invaluable resource for quick assimilation and training on this subject.

I can't remember the last time I've spent so much focused time on one subject... I'm getting addicted to video again. I'm finally starting to understand the cinema tech heads and all of the jargon that they spew... its disturbingly fascinating and also... (lets just call it what it is, okay?) incredibly geeky. Not too many people can appreciate talk of inverse telecine pulldown, the importance of deinterlacing your video footage, or how to dequagmify your rotothermonuplex (okay so I made up that last one).

Still... the video bug is in the air and I'm hooked. Look for some more short films and abbreviated documentary pieces in the not-so-distant future.
