Micro-mentary

Just had this really awesome idea, actually mostly thanks to a suggestion by Chloe... what if I did my entire documentary section of the project as a series of very short (I'm talking less than three minutes if possible) micro-documentaries?

It would allow for me to do a great many different subjects in a short amount of time, without having to spend a long amount of time on any one thing. This fits perfectly with the attention-deficit type of mentality that we seem to have these days, with videos taking just long enough to cover one single idea without getting sidetracked or too boring.

It could also allow for mixing and matching several different micro-mentaries to sort of "roll your own documentary." I could have an interface for people to either watch a selection of several randomized "micro-mentaries," or select them one at a time from a master list, or even watch by category. Perhaps there could even be tagging and all that crazy stuff. It could be nuts, I tell you... NUTS!

...I really like it. It's getting my "awesome senses" tingling. That is a very good sign.
