@Whole, thank you I appreciate your kind comment. I'm only one guy with an opinion so I hope I didn't come off as arrogant, but I'm really excited about both these projects and since this sorta of project is similar to my intended profession, I thought I might be able to use my experience to provide some useful initial feedback.

@PartyBiscuit True, I guess I assumed there was going to be narration(artosis would be fantastic but something tells me GOM keeps him busy ^^). It's certainly possible that the producer could take a post-modern approach and let the pros speak for themselves (those shots of MLG, a single shot tells a story by itself) but I just figured there'd be someone else to provide more context and tie different parts of an interview together.

With the talk heads though, what I was trying to convey was this: I don't know squat about football. If you give me a 1 hour, 2 hour, 5 hour documentary about football and you have 30 ppl speaking throughout. I can almost guarantee you, I won't remember those people even with the 5 hours. Maaybe I'll start to get some of them down by then, but certainly not all. So my concern was that even in a long-form documentary with narration, what we would consider a moderate amount (or even too little) of programers would be enough for the average audience member because they don't have the established connection we do. I mean, you show me MKP, Select, Idra, Incontrol, Gretorp, Tyler, Jinro, Huk, San, and MC and I'll ask you why you left out MMA, Thorzain, Naniwa, Kas, etc. I'm sure this is something the producer has already taken into account or will when they get more interviews, but I know that it can be easy to think you're fine(people wise) because you forget that it's easy for you to tell who's who.

lol, I'll shush now >.>

Beyond the Game documentary was great, I suggest you copy that concept.
