Ok - in my nearly 30 years of trying to tell a story with images and sound, I've never heard such a concise wrap up of the trials and tribulations of doing so.
It's in four parts - but they aren't long. Here's the links
Part #1 Telling a story vs. writing a story
Part #2 Finding the story is as hard as crafting the story
Part #3 You have great taste, so you know your early stuff stinks. Don’t quit.
Part #4 Be yourself. Take it from a guy who obviously practices what he preaches.
There . . . 19 minutes of your life invested and you will understand more about this art form than after four years of higher education. Such a deal!
Disclaimer - I stole some of this from another blog site, The TV Weasel by Frank Capria. Check it out.
BTW Ira Glass does the radio show/podcast "This American Life" from PBS
I used to love listening to Ira Glass and "This American Life" on Chicago Public Radio, so I was really pleased to find his podcast. I'm looking forward to checking out these links.

It's not stealing. It's lifting, and I'm flattered. Nice blog.
