Today's equipment has become less expensive, while growing more and more powerful all the time -- hence the drop in price on many serious productions.

There still is no compromise for experience, talent and taste, and the expression of those necessary qualities is what makes the difference between a YouTube project and a fully realized film.

Also, we battle YouTube's unfair practices and bogus view numbers when trying to present videos with specific positive impact that might not agree with Google's condescending approach to censor free speech, while removing a previous source of income from many of us. This is why we are moving most of our materials to Vimeo.
