Re: separating music and video - I think we're just taking perspective from wherever that can be found and yes, it'll likely be often from musicians/the music industry. Think it does help to filter it all through a filmmaking perspective though so that we can stay focussed and get maximum mileage from all the things we look at. Of course, none of it strictly has to apply only to filmmaking and hopefully there's a lot that people of all stripes can glean. We're certainly going to be looking as far afield as possible to see what insights we can bring back to the table. Thanks again for reading - and for your post. Hi Andrew - thanks!

I think we're constantly chasing music in the digital world. Every time a musician figures out a new way to reach his or her audience on the web or through new ways of performing, it always seems like video and other art forms catch up a little later. Its got me thinking that distribution of digital art in general, including music, is a more direct way to deal with audience building and other concerns in the whole area of filmmaking. What I mean is, art is art. And finding audiences or showing that art to the world can be done using the same techniques artists have been using for years. Since musicians have classically been much freer to experiment and tour in different ways (all they need is their guitar) they were always able to forge ahead. I have always been kind of jealous of musicians for that reason. Digital video's making it easier for video artists to act like musicians. Do you think that separating music and video is muddying the waters? Even though they look different, nowadays they're closer to the same thing- art forms that need audiences and new ways for people to find them and enjoy them. And musicians are facing the same challenges and opportunities that filmmakers now face. Shouldn't we all band together and go on tour or something?! What would Bob Dylan do?
