Probably more to the point anyway. Even here the release forms may be a
defensive legalism, given how news crews behave sometimes. I just know
it's standard procedure.

Michael's suggestions were good:

Dolly shots are another good one, if you can do that.

Also, mpeg has a lot of trouble with subtle gradients, solid colored
walls lit from the side.

And something that's been edited music-video style with a lot of quick
cuts would help with the scene-change problem.

For uploading them, could you just put them on the web until we get the
archive set up? Or at least some small (cif) mpegs so we can see what's
what.
