Fun to watch just in terms of framing.

Royalty-free ambience
Tabletop Audio has released over 100 royalty-free 10-minute sound files produced primarily for game designers but that could work very well for many kinds of films.

Keyframe audio and speed changes
MacWorld UK has 26 iMovie tips that range from beginner to “advanced.” For instance, all this time I thought you had to laboriously option-click to set keyframe points to adjust volume in small sections of a clip. Nope.
And I thought you had to split clips to apply speed changes. Nope. Set some keyframes and adjust speed – iMovie will “smooth” the speed transition from both sides of the edit.

New term to me. From Still Motion Blog.
Notes on interviewing
Portland media studio Red Stallion short “Maine Makers” video about KGB Glass, who specializes in blowing glass pipes that look like donuts (note “carb” joke on the bag at the end). They’ve written up a series of tips about how to tell a story, almost entirely concerning interviewing and b-roll. Good stuff (link seems to be dead, but I’ve written them to find it).
Their first foray into this genre was the film we saw earlier this year about our own Jared DeSimio.
This kind of maker profile is ripe for parody. Gulp.
