TO BE A DIY FILMMAKER

4/19/2014

0 Comments

 
We've really entered the DIY days of filmmaking. While I did a lot of jobs as I rose through the ranks (Film loader, processor, negative Cutter, sound recordist), i never envisioned the days when virtually all indy and non indy filmmakers did everything on a film. This was made possible by digital filmmaking and software. But I think those filmmakers who toil in isolation, really miss out on collaboration at times. The very process of a communal exchange of creative ideas. Yes, i could shot and light my own films, but I must have the creative contribution of a DP to feel the best ideas are put on film. That's why I value Michael Su so highly. And Yes, I can edit my own films, do all the effects myself, but I love collaborating with the dozen of artist I collaborate with. Finally, I love working with Tony Riparetti. Yes I could buy music or sound effects and Mix my own films, but I'd miss my very vital collaboration with Tony. For intstance, I just saw the epic credits for Man of Steel. Must be hundreds of artists. I saw artists I started in the business. Like David Goyer who wrote the film, David Brenner who edited the film, Frank Montano who mixed the film. I know the film was made better by having those three involved. A lot of indy credits show a filmmaker's ego by crediting themselves with writing, editing, effects, producing, etc. I have never understood why a director needed to take another credit when its a given they were involved in all aspects of a film. Some need the credit to because of deals but the truth in my mind is ego. While I know most filmmakers do every job on a film now, they miss out on that most valuable aspect...collaboration...a vision made better by a group of artists and not just a singular artist working in isolation. My thoughts as I await Tony Riparetti's idea on The Interrogation of Cheryl Cooper should sound, and watch how Michael Su's visual mastery works with Tony's mix.
