I'd just like to quickly make note of something. I'm a big fan and regular reader here, and as a result, I'm very careful about what I post on HN. Lately, though, I've posted a few times with links to this video channel. Each time I do so, I feel a twinge of hesitation. I don't want to pollute the site, but, at the same time, I think there are stories here that might be helpful to the HN community. If any of you feel that the content isn't appropriate (or that I'm linking to it too frequently), please let me know. I certainly don't want to overextend my welcome here! Happy Saturday!

I really thought the topic was okay and fine but personally it was impossible to watch the spliced upped video being shown so I just switched to another tab and listened.

  I'm still working on sorting out how these are edited. Most are linear and shot in one take with no editing. In order to get longer stories into a tighter time frame, though, I've been playing with compressing the gaps. So far I'm unsure of how to approach this. I've been casually asking friends on Twitter and Facebook to view and comment on their thoughts. Most seem split right down the middle, with half preferring them without edits, and the other half liking the ones with. But, this is very much the way we've urged others to approach such things. Put something out, test it, augment, refine, repeat. (Perhaps it's "agile" storytelling.) With each one I think I'm figuring some things out. Hopefully in videos to come they feel more natural. Thanks for giving it a listen!

    Perhaps you could post an unedited version and a version where you compress the gaps?

      That's not a bad idea, but then I'd have to spend even more time on these videos, and my wife would really hate that. (I'm home far too little these days as it stands.)

        "I'm home far too little these days as it stands." Well, the solution there is to be sure to have a complete development setup at home as well. Who could possibly complain then? :)

        Ever tried to edit video with a 1 year old and 3 year old at foot? ;-)

    How about a middle ground: compress the gaps, but not remove them completely: leave some gap, as a resting point.
