http://www.sweetdreamsmovie.com/Hello,
Whenever you have a moment, check out the theatrical trailer of the motion picture documentary "Sweet Dreams". The documentary was shot on the Panasonic DVX100 for over three years. You can view the trailer at www.sweetdreamsmovie.com
Presently, the documentary is awaiting to hear back from submissions to film festivals such as Tribecca, Hot Docs, Florida International, Seattle International, Full Frame, Chicago International. As more of the major festivals open up the documentary will be entered. It was just finished a couple of months ago.
The approach was to take documentary cinema and give it a more passive, cinematic feel. Almost like a narrative would. The DVX100 was the major reason why I had the ability to somewhat pull that off. The "Forgiveness" factor. For over 3 years I would enter into some of the most low light environments and have no choice but to learn how to deal with it via DVX. Being that I always had to be on the move with my subjects, every shot was under natural lighting conditions, I had to learn how to play with darkness. In time, as I felt the vastness into which the story was growing, I documented in a more voyeuristic fashion, rather than a journalistic fashion. The subjects and the story took me over, and I shot to observe rather than search. So, needless to say, it was a whole new way in which I learned how to film and edit. But with that, I learn something everyday in this business. And you can never learn enough.
But again, if you have a moment, check out the trailer at www.sweetdreamsmovie.com My email is ericlatek@phantazmapictures.com
I'm always about building bridges with those who share the same love and passion for using the camera to create work, art, cinema--whatever you want to call it.
Thanks for taken your time.
