WOW. This felt like sitting down with a mentor who really cares. THANK you Chris. Can’t put into words how inspiring your talk was. Not only well structured and eloquent, but so inspiring.

Doing a documentary for as a class assignment and this is really useful. The description of the workflow itself is amazing because I tend to get stuck in the creative part more than the doing part. Using mood boards, extracting a story from re-ocurring themes and struggles, amazing vid. Really insightful

@DatrysiadMedia 3 года назад

Thank you for this, just finished my first doc and what a massive learning curve. Really pleased with the result but I was shocked just how much time and effort and tbh by the end i was pretty done and fed up. However once it was finished and uploaded I'm hooked and keep thinking about the next project.

@theholepicture Год назад

Your point of projects motivated from the heart instead of money was very well articulated. If you are around home I'll bet some drone footage of the central coasts superbloom this year 2023 April shot from feet above the ground could be really cool. Carrizo Plaine, Shell Creek, Big Sur Coast, Montana de Oro. Wish I was there.

@boriskhamishon8831 Год назад

@mikedevlin2048 3 года назад

Total respect for Chris... But the whole idea of "Documentary film" is a misnomer... Your just telling stories. Even the very best Documentary photographers that spend months if not years on a single project know that the very fact that they, and the camera is there will change the situation... As photographers even the way we decide how to shoot a story is changing it... Even before we get to the selection and editing stage the truth is slipping away... It's just the way it is. We tell stories, we don't document....
