this video consists of crappy footage, mediocre editing, corny music and distracting title overlays. but the story is so strong that none of that matters. this video is another great example of how a good story is sometimes all you need. watch video here.

limbo

liberal white artists and educators will sometimes hand cameras to minority kids and ask them to film their surroundings. unfortunately, kids suck at making movies so these projects always fall short.

eliot rausch, one of my favorite videographers decided to replicate this cliche formula by handing camcorders to undocumented teenagers. when i heard about the project, i assumed the film would suck. i was wrong.

 disclaimer: the video starts off a bit slow but if you can hang in there you won't regret it.

blurring the line between documentary film and advertising

obama's campaign hired davis guggenheim, the director behind inconvenient truth and waiting for superman to create this 17 minute campaign ad. while i'm not ecstatic about the use of documentary film in a political campaign, it is one the better campaign ads i've seen. watch video here.
