handheld camera and simple jump cuts back and forth between the people
is the way to go. It fits in much more with the brand that Fedora has of
a community. I usually find that when you try to do pieces about lots of
people and you get too fancy with the camera work/ editing, it comes
across as strained.
Agreed -- this seems to be the way other Fedora videos have been
produced, also, so not much reason to switch.
We just want real people, in real settings, being themselves and have
that as a document for others- like Máirín said, the fun factor of "oh
that what that person looks like!" is extremely powerful.
Or the "oh that's how they prounounce their name!" effect. ;)
