Where to find amateur videos to learn from?

I try to find a good place to download video production from amateur film enthusiasts. One place I know is the Panasonic3CCD forum "Video Productions" section. But new videos are posted seldom and even then there isnt much to learn from. So I was wondering if any of you know a good place to download amateur videos made with miniDV camera or similar? Edit: No one knows, really?

What exactly do you want to learn? If it's framing or editing then you can learn from just about any movie or good tv program. Why would you need amateur videos for that purpose?

Amateur stuff is closer to what I can achieve, therefor it inspires me to try something as well. Sort of a benchmark. There must be places where people have posted their work.

commentary tracks are often very useful - they're informal so the directors or whoever will say a lot more than they might in a "making of" documentary. [edit] also, a few old movies will have comments by film scholars (because the original crew is either dead or unavailable for making a commentary). there can be a lot of useful information in those.

take a look at examples posted mostly by Pinnacle Studio and Liquid users.
