Video docs on the Web -- fashion

Duke Ellington School of the Arts
fashion from Duke Ellington School of the Arts

Some terrific documentary video is shot and edited for the web. Washingtonpost.com, for example, has a "CameraWorks" section with dozens of enticing shorts. Above, two stills from a particularly good video (episode 3 of a series) about trendy fashions at a downtown magnet high school. It's informal and fun to watch, with an array of characters, creative framing and cutaways, and snappy editing -- all with a limited time frame and budget.
