Durango Film Festival

Since I'm back from my backpacking trip and back in front of a computer, I'll post about seeing Courting Condi at the Durango Film Festival.

The short before the actual documentary was Making the Man. I thought it was pretty funny, but there were some weird lighting moments and bad action shots from the actress during the interview scene. It seemed like, when the camera cut to her, she wasn't prepared and wasn't acting accordingly. Overall, it was very well done and had a hilarious ending.

I absolutely LOVED Courting Condi...until it seemed to go on...and on...and on. It seemed pretty long, but I thought the message behind it was very well displayed. Condi may be one of the most powerful women in the world, but what prices did she pay to get there, and what does that say about her character?

Titanic Documentary



Since we're getting into documentaries, I've been watching a few online.

This looks absolutely amazing



I can't wait to see it.

I love Monty Python



So that was pretty much hilarious. I did notice something though:

As they both fall to the ground and fight to grab the microphone, you never hear any feedback from the microphone. Anyone who's worked with microphones in film knows that they will pick up ANYTHING, especially ground/grass noise.
