The very best, and by far the most moving, was done by a group who used only those "throw away" clips you mention (or the visual equivalent). We saw the subject's nervous habits, heard the stories she didn't think were worth telling on camera. She herself had to leave the class when it aired; she felt so exposed. Most of the other pieces looked very forced with cheesy cue-emotions-or-laughter music dubbed on. I don't have a podcast but I'll have to find an opportunity to hear Tod speak.

I'm sorry that I missed it -- I was still en route to Kingston. Joe, thank you for this excellent summary of Tod’s presentation. I’m sorry that I missed it — I was still en route to Kingston.
