Book excerpt: Successful chick-lit author and TT journalist Roy Devon leads you through the videographic process, using the life and work of Smile Orange Films as a case study. Devon tracks down the legendary masters of celluloid (cathode ray and Hi8) and, with their guidance, learns how to gain wisdom through stupidity. In the process, you are given an original insight into the pre-YouTube British filmmaking scene of the 1990s, a time when the increased availability of camcorders meant that anybody could make a feature film, advertise it in a fanzine and sell it to fans around the world.
