Well - from time to time we all lament lack of discussion even in live action vidding. People get busy and while we love to discuss vids - it is hard to find the time.
I can truly say that everything that I know that forms a basis for how I vid, I learned from Luminosity. I've been thinking about this particular vid - how it works and why - for several years. I just decided to brain dump a lot of those thoughts into LJ today.
I feel as if I am not giving enough attention to the technical aspects -- how the external movement of the camera will bring you forward and then throw you to the side, the pacing of the individual shots and how they mesh (this is a superfast vid) because I do not have access to the vid here at work - this is all from memory alone. But - there are emotional truths and techniques and then there are the technical skills we manipulate to illuminate those truths, so any discussion is better than no discussion.
It's partly the majority maleness of the community and partly the inherent competitiveness.
Fanboys are a tough crowd - have you seen http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=ink_vids ?? I know the goal there is overcome a lot of the frivolity you mentioned. I know a lot of the members and they are discussion junkies.
