I was thinking about these short videos that I will be making throughout the track season as tests for the final documentary. These are great exercises in learning and experimenting, which will only make the final video stronger. But I've come to realize that even these test videos tell a story (well, I've done one so far) and as they will, in most cases, be published chronologically that perhaps I should treat them as mini episodic video diaries of how the season is going. The final video will share a lot of footage but will be re-edited (and most likely narrated) to give it a more cohesive feel and to fit into a tighter time frame.
Hmm, well I'll give it a try and see how it goes. I'm just sorta making this up as I go, haha! This project is definitely an unformed ball of potential and I'm just trying to get a handle on it and form it into something that doesn't suck.
So that means "New Corners" is basically Episode 1 of whatever I'm calling this documentary thingy. (note to self: come up with catchy title soon).
Episode 2 will be a short "travel" montage. I've done a number of 'actiony' videos now, so I'm looking forward to working on something calmer and more down tempo. I'm intending it to be a very peaceful, reflective piece.
