FRIDAY FRENZY
I woke up at four today to take part in the Friday shopping frenzy (four in the afternoon, that is). I picked up two DVD's as reference points to help with my editing.
Casino Royale -- Growing up, I watched a lot of Bond films (Moore/Dalton period). Up until Casino Royale, my favorite was A View to Kill. I've always been fascinated with the opening sequences of Bond films. When I was working on the concept for ATHLETE early on, I had the idea to structure the beginning of the documentary like a Bond film (as an homage). Don't worry, there are no gun barrels involved.
Jules and Jim -- The second DVD I picked up is an old French film that I've never seen before. I don't get the chance to watch old movies much. There are just too many new releases to keep up with. But this one really caught my eye. I've been watching Ovation TV the past few days (it's Photo Week) and kept seeing this commercial for their Saturday night movie classics.
The ad features a clip from François Truffaut's Jules and Jim of two guys and a girl running on a bridge. The film has nothing to do with sports but I couldn't get that visual out of my head. I've never seen running captured like that on film before. Very cool.
