I recently picked up a batch of old Super 8mm films on eBay, people recording their summer vacations and family get-togethers 30-40 years ago. Slice of life vignettes, people mugging self-consciously in front of their camera. I'd like to cut them into some semblance of a weird narrative...a rainy day project. Our local library sponsors a short film festival and it's always fun to see the works produced--one of my sons actually nailed a "People's Choice" trophy last year for a stop motion piece--he proudly displays his trophy in his bedroom. A bit of a suggestion--you should break your posts into paragraphs with spaces between to make them more readable for old codgers like me who can't absorb too much text at one time or they'll be scrabbling for bifocals. It will draw a lot more people to your site as well and keep 'em reading...
