73: Croatian Chips Up

Posted by michaeljk on August 19, 2007

After the drama of yesterday, we are straight on to the trail of Zzarbur Cerebus. I’m growing a beard as I feel it’ll help me bond with Ian.

Documentary making involves taking risks. But there’s only so much I’ll do in the line of duty.

Lovely driver

Posted by Dawn Jones on August 18, 2007

Long car journeys can play merry havoc with your skin. My handy hints are to limit the use of air conditioning, drink lots of water and smear tapas on your face - avoiding brie/anything fish based (I learnt that the hard way). Drive safe now.

Love & Light,

Dawn x

69: Love in a bottle

Posted by michaeljk on August 15, 2007

Observational documentary is an art form and I like to paint with my camera.

Although constantly moving and never really knowing where we might be I like to build emotion into the scene.

I like to get under the skin of subjects while maintaining an objective viewpoint.

Unfortunately that ethos wasn’t important to the producers of a previous job ‘Cops with Battering Rams’.

64: Super Breath

Posted by Jonti Bloom on August 10, 2007

So it seems we’re happy families again and the terrible twosome has moved from the car into my hotel.

Though it’s important as a documentary filmmaker for me to have access to my subjects, I find Ian’s approach to breakfast buffet vulgar and I’d prefer it if Dawn didn’t pop up whenever I’m flirting with the hottie behind reception.

Posted by Jonti Bloom on August 5, 2007

This is genuine. Not one of these fake scenes from those lightweight documentaries which are everywhere at the moment.

Posted by Jonti Bloom on August 2, 2007

Always a sensitive film-maker and seeker of truth, I feel that I may be touching sensitive areas. And paying for quite a lot.

53: ‘King Prawn of Alicante’

Posted by Jonti Bloom on July 30, 2007

When I first started out as a documentary film maker I made a list of things I would never do even for a great story:
1. Put the lives of my immediate family in danger
2. The human trafficking of children
3. Have sex with a woman who marks less than 4/10
4. Black up in inner city areas
5. Sleep rough
6. Eat directly from a tin.
Looks like I’m going to have to revise the last two.
