Hugh on Ken Burns

       I watched two Ken Burns films, one on the west, and part of one on the Civil War. Only part because of its length. The thing I enjoyed most about the Burns technique is his ability to make every shot interesting. There is a beautiful, poetic quality to what he does, and I feel this would be great for our documentary. I feel, however, as do my group members that it might ruin what we're after with our doc. to put to much ken Burns in. But a healthy dose would be nice. None-the-less i feel as though i gained a good bit from watching these two films closely. I think that it's only beneficial to know what other techniques works, and obviously Burns is one of the best in the business.
