I like them and make them. Been doing it for about 3 years.

I've got a pretty good collection of videos, and I have to say that probably the thing that most annoys me is titling a video for a specific setting then never really showing anything about that setting. For instance, I've got several that include the words DONNER PASS in the titles, but never actually shows any action on the Pass itself. Now I KNOW that Donner Pass isn't inaccessable--I've trapised up and down it many times in my life, and hauling a 5-pound video camera isn't going to kill the photographer. But a video whose title promises photography at a certain spot then ignores the spot completely is to me kind of a rip-off.
Okay, I've vented, I feel better, LOL!

I find that after about an hour a DVD can get boring.... I think about 45 minutes to an hour are good..

I myself like alot of action... but i guess what else can you do with a train video..

what else should I think about before I jump into it>

I have been shooting CSX/Guilford/housatonic
