All, I figured I would post this on here and see if anyone enjoys it. It was a 20 minute doc I did a year ago. I used a Canon XL2 and edited on Final Cut Pro. It was a fun shoot, but it was exctrutiatingly painful to get the interviews. I think the lesson I learned from this doc was, "ASK ASK ASK open-ended questions." It was really hard to get the people to elaborate on their answers a little further too. Well, ENJOY!

I only skimmed through the first video, but from what I saw that was really well made. Yeah very important to ask open ended questions and to tell them to answer in complete sentences. What mic was that? Your interview sound was really good.
Congrats.

I had to use different people for every single shoot that I did for this doc. It was odd, yet fun because I got to interact with different people and received different input from everyone. Thanks for the support! Oh, we used a Rode NTG-2 boom. It was nice!
