Well as m
any of you know, I’m a big fan of creating my Own Videos and Projects and Am currently studying in my Second Year of a National Diploma Media Production course. And its come that time in the course where the projects become a little bigger and more ambitious. And this one quite frankly is going to be my most ambitious yet.
When i was starting out making films as many of you may remember Myself and Jack Grange had a personal project we began work on, called: Lincs Parkour: Forever Forward. The unnofficial sequal to the extremely successful Jump Lincoln. Covering the upsurge in the growth of Parkour in the region since then, the successfulness of our classes. And just really how the community has grown. Well unfortunately due to computer error, all the footage for that was lost around years ago, and the Project died down as i got bogged down with other projects and work. BUT luck would have it, my next unit in my Course is Documentaries. And what better way to revive such a great project than to have my Grades Rely upon its Success!
Now since my film-making experiance was built upon creating simple parkour Videos, to avoid becoming some what of a one-trick pony, i have experimented with everything BUT Parkour in my work. But since this is such a great subject to do the documentary on, and i have already had it planned for the last 2 years, i figured i’d let myself off this time
The criteria for this project is simple. A 20 minute documentary on your chosen subject (In this case Parkour) So my plan is, 15 minutes of the Video is devoted to the story im telling, how far we’ve come, our successes, failures, everything about us these days and Since 07. Then the final 5 Minutes or so, a spectacular finish with a huge planned run over Lincoln, filmed in beautiful HD.
Now here’s where you guys come in! Obviously i am going to be needing a lot of help to create this project. Ill be needing Interviews, and Jam footage primarily for the first 15 mins, with some class stuff thrown in. Which shouldnt be too hard to organise, but i will need a lot of cooperation from you guys to pull this off. I will organise interviews with people singularly either at the Jam or Prior on the Forum, on This Topic. But what i majorly want is just some good Jam footage, so as of the 4th of January my project officially starts. And im allowing myself a 4 week shooting schedule, which means from that Monday, i really really need 4 solid weeks of good full Jams from you guys. Its a new year and why not start it with a Bang
The run will be arranged at a later date when the bulk of the shooting is done, but i will be using a grouping system at some point, more than likely groups of 3 in different areas etc. So if you guys also want to arrange your groups and prefered areas to be filmed for the run on the Forum too, feel free to Use this Topic too.
This is a huge huge project for me, and i would really appreciate and be grateful for your help in making this happen. My ultimate aim is to TOP the jump Lincoln documentary, so you would be helping create something wonderful.
Oh did i mention a place in the Credits and a Free DVD for EVERYONE who participates too?
Thanks
