Big subjects, small films.


Along the lines of my recent crypto lamentation post, I often find myself bothered by the lack of quality video one should be able to find on Youtube. Granted, I realize that there will be jokers and fakers - it's a given. However, there should be a way (perhaps a community) on Youtube to seperate footage deemed genuine from that of high school and college kids with a digicam and a lot of time on their hands. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEQKiAIe6dk is an example as is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4TYyKj4lqY&mode=related&search= . The other thing the bugs me about Youtubers - the propensity to parody (intentionally or otherwise) the Blair Witch Project. Grrrr!! Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IIy-88jsQw&mode=related&search=. Trust me, there are plenty more like this. I don't even mind mockumentary styled home movies by burgeoning (read: wannabe) film makers. I love a good entertaining low-budged "indy" film. But these... tsk, tsk, tsk. So if you know a good crypto (or any paranormal) footage on Youtube worth watching, please forward that link.
