I just love it when that happens as well. My other favourite is when people see the camera is on them and then pose like I'm taking a still photo.

Of course, I also get my share of people in the...

Realizing that this is a prototype, and I can't even get the total cost to change no matter what options I choose, I say this in a more general sense than specific.

Copyright = the right to copy. Even if they have bought a hundred copies of the CD you still don't have the right to copy the song and sync it to video.

Very good stuff. I thought there was a good ratio of Pilot/non-Pilot footage. I don't like longer clips with no audio, but I'll let it slide because it looked so good.
