While videos may all connect together; and what the little glass dot means—make sure you maintain the integrity of the idea you have for your video.
Production for the public: 12 minute or so (any length you want) video—there is a ten minute YouTube rule, unless it’s on Wesch’s page.
Series of three videos, group them up to create the larger picture for the semester---three groups of four—hour long episodes of visual American life; so about a 25 minute long video max for each.

Goal: be as good as This American Life. :)
