ok, i'll divulge the idea... This documentary is similar to many about
land development and urban planning, I want it to be both artistic and
informational... I think there is high demand for this subject. The
sundance channel's "green" or whatever series is really taking off,
but i would like to be more detailed since I actually have a lot to
say about he subject.

The plan is to use this digital camera with video capabilities (kodak
c360) just to shoot the scenes and the music and narration (if any)
will be done separately, and I will use magix video edit for any
lighting work that needs be done. and I will judge each video clip
and use the ones that come out the best and are not as shaky.
