The more arty, the better. The conversational tone suits the radio style, but a picture needs another narrative entirely. I used to shoot a lot of silent super 8 in camera things during my Maidstone days. I think it is a great form especially in the over post-produced, 'reality' tv age. The technical sound issues might be solved by putting a 'blimp' on the camera mic or using an external mic ( if your cam has a mic input).
I thought you were referencing something in the piece as that is a big part of the Momus brand. I saw a kind of Godardian thing going on, and will need to check out "Sans Soleil" as I have not seen it. Thanks as always for interesting new things and doing stuff like this as it is inspiring to say the least.
