Google Video Documentary Blog

As of March 01, 2006, he has compiled a little over 9 1/2 hours of free Google hosted documentaries at robsargeant.blogspot.com. So if you're interested in documentaries, or just bored surfing the net, you might want to drop by his webpage.

Having the documentary blogspot has helped Sargeant to organise his video favourites found in the growing collection of free programs available at Google Video. Some of Rob Sargeant’s favourites were created by students.

“I like the cinema veritie’ style of documentary, with the shaky cameras and gritty sound tracks.” Says Sargeant. “When the footage looks like it was hard to get, it makes it much more believable, less staged.”

There are a number of quality free documentaries offered on Google Video, with new ones added daily. Most appear without much fanfare. This is provides a level playing field for the undiscovered talent out there. With a variety of low cost digital production options now available – thanks to Google Video - those filmmakers with good ideas and tenacity have a better chance at finding an audience for their productions.
