Guy Larson is an amazing fellow. I enjoyed making this small documentary about him for my class and I hope all enjoy!
The final product of "make me a match" that I labored over exceedingly. I was actually sort of unhappy with it all not because of the performances of anyone but mainly just the story. We had to write all so quickly and the re-write it time after time and then storyboard it and really break it down. In all this rush I didn't realize till I was actually shooting it that I really didn't care much for the story as a whole and thus my motivation suffered greatly. I don't think I need to tell epic dramatic tales to care about them but I do want to have a strong point and also a specific conflict or issue that is approached and resolved. I am starting a screen writing class tomorrow and possibly I will gain some insights as to how to develop good stories. Ones that I care about. I don't know why I feel so interested in telling stories - particularly in that I haven't felt very confident with the stories I have come up with. It is extremely hard for me to come up
I really like this project, Grey!
ReplyDeletewow--his energy is very infectious! Way to go on the editing Gray! It was impressive.
ReplyDeleteGray, this is really well done. You had some sweet editing and some great shots. I noticed you had him talking over himself for a moment, which was really clever. Does that have a term in the film industry. Also those shots of him running down must have been tricky. How did you catch up to him?
ReplyDeleteI look forward to following your blog.
So, why do you think you felt good about this one? You spent less time on it than the other one, right? Was it really the story? It is a true one while the other one COULD be true but you don't know anyone who actually lived it, right? There is a bit of good and evil in this one-- with Guy overcoming the evil of his illness and being an extrovert about it (which could be viewed as good or evil or both). I agree that it is very intense and covers a lot of ground (ha ha) in very little time.
