Anyone else looking forward to this documentary?  The last documentary I really looked forward to was Ken Burns' Baseball.

Ken Burns' The National Parks

I guess I'll take a look.  Amazing that he still works with 16mm film edited on a mechanical Steenbeck editing table, or at least he did up through "Baseball."  But I guess he somehow draws strength from such Luddism, sometimes severe constraints bring a discipline that produces an overall better product.

Chafes me that "The Ken Burns Effect" phrase has shaded all those individuals who pioneered the technique decades earlier, I being one.
