It's their chance to say whatever they need to say, or even waste their time if they want to. The camera will roll for precisely 330 seconds. It is their time. How they choose to use it is up to them.Jacknoreply@blogger.comBlogger11100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13394939.post-1119988082723007682005-06-28T12:47:00.000-07:002006-11-12T23:01:09.906-08:00This is the first video, done by myself<br /><br /><a href="http://ia108613.us.archive.org/2/items/FiveandahalfminutesJACKnumberone/Jack_5_and_a_half_minutes_number_ONE.wmv">CLICK HERE TO SEE THE VIDEO</a><br /><br />Well, I just watched this film and frankly I wish I'd done a better job of it. I seem inarticulate, cloudy, and muddled in what I'm saying. I don't think I've managed to put my point across at all well. But it's what I did, and it stays!<br /><br />But this is an example of what I mean for the blog.<br /><br />I think the main thing I'm trying to get away from is some kind of slickness that one so often finds in presentations, and in any kind of video. It's an attempt at simple authenticity and plain speaking sincerity - something we don't get from the more mainstream media.<br /><br />I'd normally reshoot this video now, as it's really just not as I'd like it to be. But I'll let it stay so that people will arrive at their own conclusions about its value.<br /><br />Does that make sense?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13394939-111998808272300768?l=fiveandahalf.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jacknoreply@blogger.com0
