Follow my adventures as I make videos, short and hopefully long (but not too long).
I'm trained in the ancient arts of Scriptwriting and Documentary Production, so in theory I should be able to churn out something worth watching.
And now, without any further ado here is the trailer for my upcoming documentary Poutine Nation.
The completed film can be seen Saturday April 30th as part of the Algonquin Docfest. This year’s event will be held at Centrepointe Theatre, doors open at 5:30pm.
I need to thank the people involved in the making of the film.
While I plug away at editing my poutine documentary, I a little corner of myself wishing I could just hand off the editing to someone else so I can get out there and shoot something new. The catch of course, is that if someone else edited the movie it might not match my vision.
Back in October I had the chance to work on a promotional video for Main Street Community Services in Stittsville as part of their campaign for the Aviva Community Challenge.
My job was simple, take my camera and shoot, I only had one day to do it, and it was an excellent opportunity for me to try my hand and shooting solo. It’s only a few months later and there are a ton of things I would do differently now, but I’m still happy with the result.
Once shooting was done I had the luxury of handing the footage over to Jeff Power and he did the editing. In this case I think it turned out better than if I had tried to edit it myself.
Please check out the video, we may not have won the Aviva Challenge but the people at Main Street are doing incredible work and deserve all the recognition they can get.
