Size Matters 

Wink: Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.


In the past few months I have heard about more and more people getting large screen TVs. Those who didn't make the plunge yet, are thinking of doing so. So many choices, DLP, projection and Plasma, all out for your dollar to make the home entertainment experience real and life like. Along with digital sound equipment, it does make the home theatre experience like the jump was from mono to stereo, from black & white to colour, only a thousand times more so.

Then there is the opposite end of the scale. The small videos that are growing like wild fire. Cell phones with video, iPod type devices, and online videos like YouTube and Google video. Live web cams from around the world with everything from the market square or traffic to the hot line, er I mean chat line.

After researching some of the online kind the past couple of days, I think what impressed me the most was some of the short less than three minute videos. You know some of them are quite good. Who would have thought a year ago that you could tell a story in three minutes?

The quality has improved to quite good if due care is taken. And it has opened opportunities for mini production. And music groups that wouldn't have a hope in the world now have viewers and listeners worldwide.

If you havn't looked at some of the stuff out there, maybe you should. Sure there is the cruddy stuff that gets most of the publicity, and the corny funny stuff that gets tiring very quickly, but in between there are some nice clips.
