Early Notes on Vine
A few quick thoughts on Vine. Mostly positive. Yes, I know I’m supposed to be posting a 6 second vine video instead of writing this. Well, I’ve made 20 or so none of them have been posted. I haven’t quite got my head around an approach, and cats and breakfast cereal are well covered.  The short form is not an issue. I remember thinking 12 seconds was a very long time...

the best fiction films of 2010 were (not)...
