Will you be documenting your progress publicly? (ie. livestream, video documentary, etc.)

I’ve been considering documenting the 48 hours of my progress on the game I intend on making. I would likely be shooting my progress with an old canon XL1-s camera that I acquired under bizarre circumstances. My intent is to make a short documentary, maybe 30 to 45 minutes on the making of my game. Weather it turns out a complete failure, a success, or somewhere in-between, it’ll probably at least make for an entertaining watch xD.
Do you plan on anything similar?
I don’t think many people actually end up making documentary like you are describing, but it is a good idea. I might try something as well, seeing as I just bought myself a new DSLR for filmmaking and haven’t made a project yet. Hope to document my progress as well and produce something like you!
But I am still planning on livestreaming and producing a timelapse. 1) Because livestreaming is awesome, it helps the community get ideas into your games and many other things and 2) A Timelapse just makes the whole use of your time look like you where more productive than you really were.
That’s a really cool idea, you should definitely do it.
As for me, i will be livestreaming my progress (if it doesnt slow my workflow down too much) and creating a timelapse video.
For LD #23 I had a page on my site to show latest screenshots, as well text updates from tweets and git commits. I think about 3 people saw it, but it was nice to have a record of how everything came together in the end. I’ll be doing the same again this time.

Now that I’ve seen this post, I almost want to do it… Sounds fun. Timelapses mess with my head, and I’m guessing Livestream might, too, but just filming quick updates might be cool.
@Sodaware: I like that idea, too. Pretty cool. You should put up something on how to code that.
