In many ways, our
experience with the production of videos was similar to the history of film.
My first attempt resulted in silent movies. Twice over the operation of the
camera in 15 minutes before leaving for the bush left out an important detail
about the recording of sound!
While our first two videos
were intended to communicate the results of our work to the local communities,
we brought up professional camera-persons to acquire footage suitable for
a wide range of uses including broadcast-quality documentaries.
