A small production company called Stillmotion led a workshop, “Proactive Storytelling Instead of Reactive Coverage,” with tips and advice for documentary filmmakers, but their backstory was its own lesson. They started out shooting wedding videos (sometimes considered a just day job by snobbish filmmakers) with basic tools and a small team. Their vignettes caught the eye of ESPN, who hired them to film The Season, a TV series about the NFL. Now, they’re producing a feature-length documentary, A Game of Honor, about the Army-Navy football rivalry, for CBS. And they’re still making wedding videos.

  2. so that’s why i get up in the morning? i knew there was a reason.

  3. I like Vimeo a lot, but they still need to sort out some serious mobile device problems. They supposedly adapted for mobile playback in 2010, but they still don’t provide mobile viewing for all videos.
