Context
Crew
- I was
a grunt.
- Dorian
Leslie and Chico had the cameras, plus they were each leading
their own young men's teams.
- Brad
Leslie - Dorian's father- provided most of the pictures.
Story
Notes
- "Where
is the love" was already on the air and way deep in my soul.
- The story
line is simple: arrival, event, departure. Before/After kind of thing.
- And of
course, the real story happened in the editing room.
Production
Notes
- In total,
we had about 3 hours of footage, including some Production Team meetings,
which I left on the cutting floor (not enough to develop a thread,
and the audience was more the young men we wanted to attract to future
YMAW than the men who served on Production.)
- Next time, more cameras, more footage, more interviews.
- Next time, remember which button is on and which button is off. I missed
the entire scene where the Enforcer gets dunked in the river. And
I had the best view!!
- The YMAW
Executive team made 100 copies of the movies for their fundraising
campaign.
Editing
Notes
- I learned
how to integrate stills into the story and edit them like video frames.
Sound
Notes
- Not really
interesting. Just the story. The frames where the young men where
being interviewed were used to present them early in the story
Location
Notes
- Shovelnose
Creek, near Squamish, British Columba. The territory belongs to
a brown bear named Boris.
