Finished up the last of the creator interviews today. Now, I need to step back, look at my downloaded footage, and my notes, and start to construct a structure for the film. Once I have a broad outline, I will go to the interviews I conducted with...

A 48 Hour Film break

2009-08-17T21:33:41Z

This past weekend I participated in my third 48 Hour Film Project. Got the film done and in on time. Every year there's something that goes haywire. The previous two it was making copies for submission that proved to be inexplicably difficult. Thi...

Another interview and supplemental footage reviewed; clips downloading now. First mic in the frame, but I should be able to crop it out pretty easily. A few bobbles, too. Realizing that I lost some momentum when I hit the gap a few weeks ago. This...

All of the tapes have now been logged and I have resumed reviewing and downloading. So far I am doing these tasks in quick succession instead of reviewing the remaining tape and then going back through to download clips. More mic bobbles; also loo...

I am currently downloading the last set of clips from the tapes/interviews I have reviewed so far. The freedom of truly independent filmmaking is wonderful, but it does come with downsides in terms of resources, including time and labor. The good ...

No tapes to review the past few days, so I began to download clips from tapes I have already reviewed. In the past, I have tried to break clips up at a fine level, but here I find myself choosing longer excerpts. I think this is in part because I ...

Yesterday, I reached the breaking point mentioned in the previous diary. Hopefully, I will have more tape by the end of this week. The interviews I watched in this last round included one from a highly practiced subject. A subject who is used to ...

Only one interview today, another example of a conversation that comes across better on tape and after reflection than it did in person. However, it is also another interview with probably limited utility for the final film. Much less mic bobbling...

Watched the first really good interview that I probably won't be using much of in the final film. There are a few subjects I spoke with who will end up not quite fitting into the big picture as well as others. I am considering ultimately releasing...
