Millard,
Thanks for mentioning Barbara Besteni.
I remember she Used to have an Excellent discussion forum all about S.I.V. - creating them, marketing them, choosing topics, whatnot. But, to our loss, she closed it down to Move On.
I think, SIV (SI-DVD?) is Still a Viable Area to have a discussion board on. Where those with some knowhow and those wanting that knowhow can exchange ideas and information. Because, if you have a camcorder of some description, creating a quick SIV is pretty easy to do - from a simple video log for insurance purposes, a video log of the Condition of something - say for a tenant just moving in and needing a Condition Report - to filming the various exhibits at a Show and onselling that to those who couldn't attend, to filming a business in action. Golf swings. Tennis serves. Kart Racers so they can know where they aren't taking the corners correctly. And so on and so forth. Just like this guy with his Tai Chi stuff
