Making of Doc on Iraq shot on HVX

Fascinating anecdote! I really like the background and context of the footage shown. Of course, there's no wrong way to do a documentary as long as it has substance. Stylistically, I might recommend considering that interview portions don't always need to be on camera- once the talking head is introduced, they aren't going to be as compelling as cutting away to b-roll over their VO.

I'll look forward to more entries.
 
It almost doesn't matter how you cut this. This is the kind of information we need to see - the presentation is secondary.

In my opinion, the most important work a documentarian can be doing in Iraq - or anywhere in the Middle East for that matter - is to put a human face on the population and our servicepeople.

Keep it up and be safe.

Just saw this thread while doing some searches for other stuff.
Really compelling immediate footage.
Can't believe this thread is a year old with only 5 posts.

How are you/ what's the status of the doc now?
