Here are a couple new narrations completed this week. One I’ll make public and the other I’ll keep private only currently shared with you folks.
The pipeline for these is I’m always looking to shoot random footage of anything unique, interesting, or compelling. So anything in life that checks those boxes that I come across and can document cinematically will be captured for four reasons. Firstly, for B-Roll for future feature film projects, for these short form narrations, and to license which is nice, because that equals money which, along with your support, can help finance the future long form projects. And lastly, because they help me test techniques and hardware.
I stopped a couple years ago doing “for hire video work” because dealing with clients is an ultra drain and now only shoot stuff for my own production venture and also occasionally for friends, which is basically how these two came about. Bill the tractor guy has been rototilling this field by my house for a decade at the beginning of every summer, and my friends Sylvia and Gus for the ultrasound footage. Which I freely send to them as a thanks for letting me get the access to shoot, giving them the nostalgia while also checking those beneficial boxes on my end.
*This second one has no audio, and is super basic, but was fun to capture none the less.
On the “cinematic documenting” note, here’s my buddy Ben Wong’s YouTube channel which was mentioned in the recent essay “Writing Makes You Unstoppable”. Gorgeous meditative visuals there:
