Our Side of Joy – A Difficult, Yet Rewarding, Lesson in Documentary Filmmaking
O.k. seriously, this one film has been an entire crash course in documentary filmmaking and sometimes this is what true learning is all about. This film has been an absolute struggle for me as I’ve mentioned before. When it came down to it, I was on the right path but I was just completely unable [...]

So, alas I am back to need to shoot more footage for my documentary Our Side of Joy. I first shot this film in 2008 and shot another interview with the twins in 2009 and found myself having a hard time putting the film together. I’m still having a hard time and I’ve requested time [...]

Well, I had to make a very difficult decision to shoot more footage for my documentary “Our Side of Joy”. After having returned from an excellent workshop on documentary story structure given by Fernanda Rossi, I knew I was going to have to do more shooting. The best thing is that the workshop was so [...]

I’m just about finished getting Our Side Of Joy down to two hours or less. It’s still a very tough process. It feels as if this film is really two complete films in one and most likely that’s pretty much what it is. It has caused me to think about my documentary career. Before I [...]

I’m working on one of my docs and I’m glad that I’ve been experimenting with other films in between because I learned about a simple feature Adobe Premier offers (Multiple sequences in a project. A basic feature, I know.) that has helped me tremendously with organizing the footage for this doc and helping me know [...]

Well I’m back to working on “Our Side of Joy”. I’ve been trying to figure out why I don’t just work on these two docs I have sitting here already filmed. I think I just don’t like editing. *smile* I can do it, yes. But I don’t like it. I think on future projects, if [...]

I’m taking a break from working on my two documentaries to make a new short film. I was going to film a short called Old Wounds but I’ve had to re-evaluate the project. I spent all last night going over the script and determining what would be needed to film the movie. Ultimately now isn’t [...]

What does the future hold for the art of making films? I’ve recently been visually consuming mass amounts of films from the 1950s to 2008 and all I can say is … WOW. It was quite disturbing to see the incredible decline in the quality of films in such a short time period. Equally disturbing [...]

Filmmakers beware! I recently decided to explore the idea of being paid for video content. In doing so, I came across an article, Getting Paid for Content, by Sheila Curran Bernard. I’d originally been out searching for filmmakers who had actually been paid by Current.com for their work. I found none. Current TV was requesting [...]

Friday, September 26, 2008
Would you like to make a Documentary film but have little or no money for a budget? I did and I’ll share with you how I did it. I was reminded recently about the importance of sharing knowledge. Although I’m not a big Hollywood filmmaker (by choice), that doesn’t mean that my methods and particularly [...]
