YouTube/Low-bridge videos: Are they good? Are they bad? Are they writing?

So far the process hasn't been too bad. Everything has its own bumps though, so it was expected. The actual video making is fun, but could be more fun if we all didn't have to work and go to school for so much time. Given enough time you could make a pretty good movie to teach people a little something about writing. I think that there is a gap in the writing process and video making process. This is not because it is a video, but because it's an extremely low budget video. With proper tools and editing, or atleast a better understanding of the editing, than the video could be much more informative. I can see a small point for Anderson's argument, but I think it could be better if there was a better website for the work that we are doing. There should be a learning video website, where only learning videos could be posted, and they were organized. Putting these video's on youtube does make the whole idea of this video as a learning tool kinda useless. I can't even find our video on youtube anymore. There is no organization, and way too many videos. I think that if the video's were made better and if ther was a better website, I think that this process could work a lot better.
