I tend to put fanatics on my *coughignorecough* list but after seeing folks like Alison and Badtz-Maru post here I thoughtt his thread might be worth checking out.

Oh well. Han, if you're looking to put together training materials, you have to have enough knowledge of the subject matter to know how to draw attention to the areas needing training. You can't point out things like examples of good (and bad) tenouchi/fumikomi/etc unless you know what those things are and have enough experience to see them in others. Physical clues are very subtle.

Now, if you just want to put together cool artistic videos, then only good directorial skill is required. A good director can make even crappy kendo look cool. If this is your goal, there's nothing wrong with it but be honest about it.
