Hi Rod,
When I quizzed Dave K. about the topic of post production, he said
that he prefers this "raw" quality in his video. So from the director
himself, it is intentional.
Dave just pulls out his camera without
warning and says "Start talking!" No rehersal, no second takes, no editing.
Perhaps it conveys a sense of honesty in as much as "what you see is what
you get". It certainly is a style that pre-dated the popularity of reality TV.
Every Dob owner should also have on their bookshelf a copy of Dave K.
and Richard Berry's book, "The Dobsonian Telescope". It can be ordered
through Obsession. Oriented from the perspective of how one can
construct an Obsession-like scope, it nevertheless provides a remarkable
insight into the science and solid engineering principals that underly
their design. From elastic deformation in truss poles, to mirror cell
mechanics, to mechanical properties of wood, to how to stitch a shroud ...
it's all there, again with this raw honesty about it. In a way I feel it says,
"these scopes are the way they are, not through accident, but because
of these design principles".
Best Regards
