I do make corporate films to feed my tummy and documentary films to feed my soul. But no matter what I am making I like to carry my camera with me and take still pics in between shots.
As the day progresses you can see raw human emotions unfold. Manipulation, street smarts, frustration, anger, joy, happiness, lust, weariness -you can actually see a gamut of emotions being enacted behind the screens.
But what is amazing is that at the end of the day everybody puts aside their individual selves and work as a single unit to help make the film, which essentially is one man's dream or vision.
Filmmaking is a wonderful example of the generous spirit of human beings.
These people come together to help in the pursuit of one individual's attempt to turn his/her dream into a reality.
This man (and his ilk) usually known not by his name, but as `light boy' is tired, hungry (and who knows frustrated and troubled about his own life situations), yet he gives his all when required so that the director can make his/her film.
Sometimes, I am surprised at what we humans are capable of.
