From what I'm understanding, this documentary will be about the community aspect or a broad take on SC2 ESPORT. The other documentary "My Life for Aiur" seems to be focusing on a pro-gamer's trials. Both approaches are viable. But take Arnfasta's advice carefully. If focusing on community, I think it would be good to follow maybe a caster or an active community person while having brief interactions with random spectators and progamers. If doing a broad approach, just don't try to do too much at one. | ||

I'm a huge documentary fan, and the best ones always have a very personal element where you can relate to and share the experiences of the subject. Case in point: "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" | ||

I'm only one guy with an opinion so I hope I didn't come off as arrogant, but I'm really excited about both these projects and since this sorta of project is similar to my intended profession, I thought I might be able to use my experience to provide some useful initial feedback. @PartyBiscuit True, I guess I assumed there was going to be narration(artosis would be fantastic but something tells me GOM keeps him busy ^^). It's certainly possible that the producer could take a post-modern approach and let the pros speak for themselves (those shots of MLG, a single shot tells a story by itself) but I just figured there'd be someone else to provide more context and tie different parts of an interview together. With the talk heads though, what I was trying to convey was this: I don't know squat about football. If you give me a 1 hour, 2 hour, 5 hour documentary about football and you have 30 ppl speaking throughout. I can almost guarantee you, I won't remember those people even with the 5 hours. Maaybe I'll start to get some of them down by then, but certainly not all. So my concern was that even in a long-form documentary with narration, what we would consider a moderate amount (or even too little) of programers would be enough for the average audience member because they don't have the established connection we do. I mean, you show me MKP, Select, Idra, Incontrol, Gretorp, Tyler, Jinro, Huk, San, and MC and I'll ask you why you left out MMA, Thorzain, Naniwa, Kas, etc. I'm sure this is something the producer has already taken into account or will when they get more interviews, but I know that it can be easy to think you're fine(people wise) because you forget that it's easy for you to tell who's who. lol, I'll shush now >.> If I see you at Anaheim I'll give you a sampling of my vocal talents. I just use them at my pizza place, but I get like 10 compliments a day from everyone that I should be doing radio. Maybe we could work something out. Been meaning to break into it. I would do it for next to nothing, or maybe even nothing. | ||

Progamers should contact him aswell to make the meeting easier. If we all support that guy, I'm pretty sure we won't regret | ||

Beyond the Game documentary was great, I suggest you copy that concept. I agree! My favorite part of "Beyond the Game" is when Sky's father is talking to the neighborhood outside his front door, and Sky mo-peding. Justin Agnew, if you read this thread, I highly suggest using "Beyond the Game" as a reference for the framework. Cuts between the players games, their lives, their monologues, events, etc., a epilogue text summary after the end of the documentary updating the audience where the players lives have led them. | ||
