I had a camera with me and made several short videos about the people I met. Sometimes there was someone I could ask to hold the camera, sometimes it was my arm and a gorilla pod trying to get the camera as far away from my head as possible. Pardon my big head. I have short arms.
You can see the results in the video below:
I'm happy with what I did but I know there are more fascinating people out there and, since the time I created these videos 5 years ago, my skills have improved. Not only that, I hear there have been some advances in technology. Can anyone say HD?
All this to say my plan for 2012 is to upgrade my equipment, identify a new place in the world, make a plan and get out there. A little process we call pre-production.
I'm open to suggestions on where to go - anyone have friends with a couch in faraway places? I'm also going to need a title for this show. Get your brains out and let the storm begin.
As for Slamdance - we leave tomorrow! Our film, The Magic Man, will screen twice as part of the Anarchy Shorts program. I'll do my best to send updates from the road. Expect a full report when I'm back at the end of the month.
