How he not only managed to capture so many interesting moments but also got all those people to act so naturally in front of the camera is a testament to his talent. He really ought to be videocasting more of the footage he took while he was here. Please write to him at dave@professorbright.com and let him know what you think of his work.
On his web site, David writes,
The remarkably diverse individuals I met there left me with the impression that despite how radically different our cultures may appear at times, Americans and Japanese are startlingly similar. The consistent and overflowing kindness that I encountered (towards a stranger no less) touched and inspired me like nothing before.

Same as Dana, thanks for sharing this with us Rich. A brilliant piece of short film making (as was the tour round your house)! A flovour of Japan through another's eyes. Tony W

I really like your videos. At least the ones i can watch. I really want to see this Video, but after i downloaded it and tried playing it. It says "Error-2048 This File is not a Movie File." Same thing happened with the House Tour Video.
So maybe someone smarter than me can give me advice on how to fix this.
I have the Quicktime 7.0.4 already that should have the H.264 codec in it.
Any Help is appreciated.
