Thread: The Circus Diaries - Part 1

I agree with your self-critique.

No narrative or plot, just a series of shots that lead the viewer nowhere of great interest with some nice songs in the background.

It seems purposeless, whereas it ought to be purposelessless.

^ So what to do?

I can't repeat myself enough that this is/was not a planned documentary or anything that was intended for professional use, but it is something that I want to utilize to demonstrate the best of my abilities and entertain/tell the story as best as possible.

Some kind of narrative would be in order but...

1: I don't have the voice.

2: I don't like my voice.

3: I don't have the facilities to do it properly, a voiceover would be done by using a camcorder placed near my mouth then importing the footage, extracting the audio and binning the footage then sliding the audio clip into where I want it.

I am however very pleased with my efforts to synchronise the dancing of the showgirls with he Oasis track.

Anyway, what to do now? is it worth continuing - there's a bit more to work with beyond this chapter, and any suggestions on how to overcome the dialogue lack of are welcome.

But it doesn't tell a story. (unlike WWL, and to some extent AF).

Is it a circus or a ladyboy cabaret? Its not even clear what we're watching because there is no script.

So what do you suggest?

We could always get Blake 7 to re-create the phone call I had with him live on floor-cam about the mozzies.

Doesn't look like 2 & 3 have much of a chance... 26 views and only one comment.

Lets discuss this by pm. I think your skills are better than this video demonstrates.

I had a marginal interest in the subject matter, only because I was aware of your circumstances on 25/12/05, but I can't think anyone else here who would be very captivated by the unravelling of this (non) plot

* Awaits PM *

Found myself fast fwding - I have to agree with Moog. Circus life doesnt seem that interesting.

Bumping this topic.

Can you see. my poo says "TGS"

^ It looks like a Thai character, and for the record that is not mine it's too thin. You are a sick man GOTM but thanks for the bump up.

Thats my pooh. circa Jakarta 2003.

I am a devotee of All Bran.

....rebumping

Why is everybody ignoring it?

It's given me a great idea for a new topic.

Why was my post in one of your myriad other threads expunged?

I'd be delighted if the photo of my faeces could be incoproated in a Scampy movie project. Or perhaps as the insignia for 'TGS Movies'

My poo has also been expunged.

For heaven's sake, do the Moderators here not void their bowels ! Should such matters be brushed under the carpet?
