What Lum said. I get all ranty when I see vidders brag that their vids don't have a POV (I'll pass on them, then, thanks) or when they pooh-pooh establishing POVs as some sort of old-fashioned constraint passed down by old skool vidders. As others have said, consistent POV is vital to good vidmaking. Period. Otherwise, it's all random clips thrown at the timeline.

Thanks for the excellent post!
