RAAM: time to slice & dice
Phew… Just finished reviewing all the footage. This project proves that you should never loose faith in a project, no matter how discouraged you may feel. There’s a lot more good stuff here than I had thought when I filmed it. I think the distance that the span of a year gave helped a lot, as did my new logging method (taking much more detailed notes, real-time).
I still don’t have a concrete outline of the story, but I do have a nebulous idea knocking around my head. I can see several of the key scenes, how to assemble each scene, and how several relate to each other. I’m a stickler for structure, though, so I still feel the need to have a single thesis to hang it all off of.
In the meantime, enjoy this little clip. While reviewing the footage, I took a few still frames from each segment as a form of visual note taking. On a lark, I chained all 341 of them together at 1 second a piece. Just sit back and let it wash over you. Leave a comment with your impression - I’m entirely curious about how those impressions correlate with mine.
