If there's one thing I love, it's "behind-the-scenes/how-we-did-it" retrospectives. In this case, the "cult classic" is a kids' show made in Canada called "Cowboy Who?" The discussion of how it was produced is fun, thoughtful and provides a look into a locally-produced series that played for four seasons. If you have a hankerin' for low-budget episodic TV production, this is a great read!
"I always crunch my teeth when I read the never ending posts on many forums about what I could characterize a "Film-look" madness. People would do anything to get a film-look adding even fake scratches and noise to the already noisy video and desperately crying for a true progressive camera. They all whine that they could create amazing films and be the next big thing, only if they have a true digital 24p camera. It has to be 24p or nothing.
"That is a total and true nonsense. It is just an excuse because most of the people are afraid of the truth - their lack of talent and vision. A good story is independent of any equipment. People could tell a great story with finger puppets, paper and scissors or a slideshow."
