make a documentary film

I’m impressed by everyone who has made and is attempting to make a documentary. I have zero experience, and loads of ambition so I’m going to start by learning the first steps to making a film and will go from there. The topic is based on my masters thesis that I just completed – I’ll save the topic for another time. Just trying to wrap my head around all of this. Great to be part of this online community.

How to take a home from chaos to devine peace

My two juiciest documentary projects (including the one I false-started a few months ago) can’t swing into production until late summer. Meanwhile I’ve met some cool folks who are just getting off the ground doing docs on interesting local angles. Hopefully I’m going to join up with them, probably starting as the audio guy since I have more experience with mics and recording than the rest of the crew. Boom Operator is not my dream role, but getting off my ass and into doc production will be great in and of itself. And if these people are really cool to work with, who knows, a production company might materialize. Have to insert a plug for the Northwest Film Forum for providing the classes that are helping me jumpstart progress on this long-held goal. Last month’s Videography workshop with Erik Vilinskas kicked ass.

I edited the movie myself, and the result was not that bad. But after long chat with some friends, I decide to have someone else edited it. Unfortunately I only can do that after I’m going back to Indonesia, August the earliest. So we’ll see.

HI,

I want to create a documentary and have no experience. Just wondering where I start???

major setback on this front and i have to admit I felt supremely disappointed, which sort of precipitated a crisis for me. but maybe, just maybe, something good will come out of that crisis. because it made me realize that i really need to make a chnage and that actually helps me.

I finally landed on an idea, and I’m going to start shooting next week. That is, as long as I can get my hands on a camera and learn how to operate it by then.

Anyway, I removed the subject description posted here because I’d rather keep the idea to myself until the project is further along. But it’s a specific angle on live music in Seattle. Sort of a counterpoint to Hype. I’m excited. And nervous.

I had a great day for this goal today! (class) I really felt a sense of progress…!
