how NOT to make a documentary, part 1

I have been asked by Gaelle from the Rencontres Internationales du Documentaire de Montreal (RIDM) where our film the ballad of vicki and jake, will have its North American premier, to make a video blog about our film.

It should be easy for a filmmaker, right?? Wrong!

Between Quicktime files, video compression and Firefox, I have had an adventure. The technical stuff makes filming look like a cakewalk.

Well, I've done it. I think. The topic for my first couple of posts, as assigned by the RIDM: How NOT to make a documentary.

a new begining

Welcome to my new blog... actually it's a video blog (vlog). I decided to create this new home for my vlogs so that they didn't get lost among my blog entries. I'll put notices on my blog when I post a new vlog, but anyone who's just interested in the vlogs can simply come directly here.

I want to thank Gaelle from the RIDM who gave me my first assignment to do a vlog, Freevlog for giving me the know-how, and Blip.tv for making it all possible. Cheers, all!
