I also have a friend who a well known dancer in minneapolis, and who has taken up the sport of Parkour. He uses the creativity of his dance skills to travel over under and around buildings and structures. Parkour is a sport in which you try and get to a destination by birds eye view as much as possible, and as fast, and smoothly as possible.
I was also considering doing a comedy spoof of my roommate who is a mailman, and is extremely dedicated to what he does, and i thought it would be humorous to make a video about him.
The fourth and possibly strongest topic I would like to document, is my Fascist Grandmother. She has some crazy stories and can be extremely offensive or kind at any given moment. I want to capture her home, because it has a strange bit of nostalgic quality to it, everything from the lighting to the American flags to the photos on the walls.I have a list of questions that she would expound upon for hours.
1. What country were you born in and what is the earliest thing you can remember from there?
2. What effect did the war have on you?
3. Who was your first boyfriend?
4. What was your first Job?
5. What happened to your first Husband?
6. What is your favorite memory
Here is a trailer from the hit documentary
oh this is too interesting. what do you smoke?
ReplyDeletetough choice from all of these topics. I like them all so I am going to leave it up to you to decide.
the grandmother might be interesting to do in that there is a finite time to get her on tape because of her age etc.
