We’re doing lots of work on video at RBI in the moment, much of it shepherded by [Andrew](http://engagement101.blogspot.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). One recurring theme we here is how we need to do really high quality stuff – and usually they mean technical quality rather than content quality.

Our highest trafficked blogger – Flight’s \[Flightblogger\](http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/) – proves how much of a nonsense that attitude can be, by providing his readers with something done \[using the built-in webcam on his laptop\](http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/2008/05/flightblogger-office-hours.html):
