    to understand my life. 15 months ago

    Today marks the third time I’ve seen the episode of This American Life entitled The Cameraman. The episode focuses on sample documentary footage taken by G.J. Echternkamp, in which he films his parents over the course of a year or so. Beginning with no purpose or thought of continuity, the work becomes something amazing. In what is provided for the episode, you can really see how the scope of the work is widened as his presence narrows and his detachment widens.

    I feel a constant burden with my life; I’ve never felt that things were good for me. I want to broaden my own lens and see what everyone sees as so great. Sure, I might miss out some, but apparently it wouldn’t be much different than the way things are today. I think it could be good.

    Or something like a montage. 17 months ago

    I’ve been toying with this idea for a little while.
    I’m thinking I’m going to film a lot of my sophmore year, edit it all up, and write it to disc.
    Not so much as a memory, but as a cultural memoir…

    It’s worth it because you learn about yourself. I learned that I hate making documentaries.

    this is getting hard. 4 years ago

    so i’m in the middle of a 3-interview day today. “why are you typing on 43 things? shouldn’t you be preparing for your next shoot?” you ask. why yes you are probably right. i’m just really discouraged about these next two interviews. the first one today was actually a redo of one that we did last week that kinda sucked. so im getting a tad down about this whole project. it’s like why am i doing this again. if tonight’s shoots suck, im gonna have to rethink this whole thing. i cant remember why i decided to do this in the first place. i dont even really like my idea anymore. grrrrrrr!! here goes nothing…
