   Wow!  Michael Moore, move over, there's a new documentary wizard in town.

  Good job on the film and the narration.

  On the painting:  One tip, when spraying, you need to let off on the spray
at the ends of your 'strokes".  Most sprayers have a trigger position that
keeps the air coming but the paint stops, if you diminish pressure on the
trigger a little.  At the end of your spray stroke, if you stop the paint
coming out, you won't get too much paint (double shot, coming and going)..at
each end...Hard to explain, easy to show.  You just briefly, as you get all
the way over at each end on your back and forth spray...let up, then resume
after you have started back the other way...  Another way to say it is that
as you end your stroke and start the other way....the spray pattern
momentarily stops moving. stays in the same place longer than when it is
moving...so you put more paint there and it becomes harder to blend the next
section over that ....

  Having the proper light as you spray...that is also really helpful.    You
need to see if the paint is 'wetting out' completely as you spray, so a
reflection of some sort is what you want to see...If you are looking right
straight on..it's easy to get that orange peel or a dry area where you
didn't quite get enough on..
