    This is the most masturbatory SM blah blah blah..."engage" "global" "I got a camera too" We're not that interested in what people you are encouraging have to say. 1080P through a lens the size of a pinhead. Shut up.

    Hey Jacki, thanks for sharing your perspective. What I liked about this video is that the filmmakers used low cost tools available to anyone to "up the production value." Not everyone can afford full HD 1080p, professional boom mics, lighting and everything it takes to make a broadcast quality production. But you can still produce high quality YouTube HD at 720p with pocket cams and a few accessories. I thought what Don Lemon from CNN had to say about the shift in news reporting is very telling of how far things have shifted to the UGC aesthetic.
