Got A Story That Needs Telling? Want to Make a Documentary?
Discussion
Hi All,
I've got an opportunity to get some funding for a short (<5 Mins) Documentary so rather than limit my opportunities by just whatever is in my brain I thought I'd throw it open to you lovely lot and see if any of you have any ideas for an exciting documentary and want to collaborate with me. I've got all the kit and Post Production equipment we'd need but I'm happy to work with new people!
We're not talking mega bucks here at all but there's an opportunity to make a film and make a few quid in the process.
Let me know if you're interested! I've got to put pitches in by the end of January...

Depends on the topic.
If it was an untold story about James Hunt or Ferrari's initial involvement in F1 then it would be more interesting as purely factual.
If it was about Piers Morgan then it may be a different issue.
Joking aside I'm in this to make a good looking film about an interesting topic not to push an agenda.

Track days.
You need two perspectives, one an experienced track day participant, the other going for the first time, ideally they know each other, experienced guy is the mentor, reduce the need for a narrator and interviewer.
Capture the trepidation and the exhilaration.
Should be enough potential there to involve both the enthusiast and people who don't even know track days exist.

Sounds absolutely terrible. You need two perspectives, one an experienced track day participant, the other going for the first time, ideally they know each other, experienced guy is the mentor, reduce the need for a narrator and interviewer.

How about a hard luck story? Some lady has a leak under her sink, so calls the plumber, but she is so poor, she cannot afford underwear and it turns out his tool is too big for the job.....
You could save money and make it 3 minutes!
I am sure this has been done before, think I saw it somewhere? Maybe on the internet. You could save money and make it 3 minutes!
Do you mean a 5 minuet trailer for a documentary and if it gets approval you'll do a full length one?
5 minutes is drastically short for a documentary
The last one I was part of was very small scale, in fact it never saw the light of day but that was about 30mins and was just long enough

Throwing my 2p into the ring.
Suggest a documentary about Eddie Kidd, motorcycle stunt rider, now sadly paralyzed after a stunt went wrong, but he did complete the London Marathon a few years back.
I'd pay to watch that.
Or if you want a silly suggestion, something with Keith Chegwin in. Cheggers should be on tv more often in my opinion

Excellent!Only criticism is that it took a written update at the end to explain why it happens and what the 'goal' is. Could have done with that up front.
