If I wouldn't have been spending so much time seeking adventure and new experience, I could have gotten paid.

I am completely in love with the idea that people can go out there with minimal gear, shoot something interesting on the cheap with little (if any) money backing. That someone can live passionately and share their excitement with someone out there who is too scared or too busy to do it all themselves.

This just the deconstruction of television’s paradigm of spectacle. Watch, but do not DO.

Still a lot cheaper than a big-studio production, but quite a bit of work that may get in the way of all that partying.</p> I wonder if any of these ventures realize that to get a serious brand interested in being involved they will need to get at least a proper 3ccd camera, some serious video editing tools (even if it is open source cinerella), skills with a camera, skills in editing on the fly, decent b-roll, fitting royalty-free or paid-for music, and a proper storyboard.
