When I finally got home last night c. 8pm and after I spent an hour with S, eating a sandwich and watching the new cop show Southland, I was eager to get down and dirty with my footage, which my dad was nice enough to put on DVD's for me. I was working on writing down good "sound bites", and my "in-cues" and "out-cues." I went through the 1st of the 5 interviews and didn't even watch the screen much of the time so I could listen really carefully for good things to jump out at me. My next pass I'll do more watching of the screen. However, S stopped me after only an hour so I could pay more attention to him and get ready for bed so I only got to watch a few minutes of Interview #2, Deputy Mudflap. More fun trailer work tonight until S puts a stop to it!
I did notice that my brother often did not stop recording even when we cut takes, which I was surprised and delighted to see. I think he had in the back of his mind that I might want some of the "making of" footage for the DVD release, yuk yuk. Today I bought the external hard drive so my dad can transfer the 3 tapes on to it, that way the footage will be ready when we start editing. Laszlo said editing a 4-minute trailer will take about an hour. Cool.
Finally, here are some funny quotes from Sunday:
My dad to me: "Don't say things like 'B-roll' to laypeople!"
Me to my dad: "Yeah, I guess documentaries DO take liberty with actual fact."
My dad to me: "Can you get me one of those big double sausage things? I like them because they're healthy for you!"
