Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] YouTube Videos


I don't think anyone can recreate what Steven does just by seeing it
on youtube.  In a way putting your work on youtube establishes your
work as a precident for what is being done.  I do find however that
pieces that I put on youtube often don't look as good as the original,
and I've pulled things off to preserve their integrity.  Steven makes
a good point in saying that one can create content just for youtube as
the target audience.
