The person on the right is Ben Dijkstra, my fraternities president. I think he would make an awesome documentary subject because of all the "behind the scenes" garbage he puts up with or fixes in order to keep our fraternity running smoothly and efficiently.
This character is Matt Zakrowski, my fraternity big brother. He is hands down one of the wittiest and funny people I have met in a long time, and he is also what some might consider a fantasy football god. He always has something funny or smart to say and I think anytime spent around him with a camera rolling would produce gold.
This (obviously an old picture) is my great grandpa Curly who is a WWII veteran. Last week he was accepted to take an "Honorary Flight" to Washington D.C. with other World War II vets, and today is the day he left. This is from the post his church made today about the trip: "Today
Loren "Curly" Wilson is having, as he says, "one of the best days of my
life!" He is in Washington, D.C. being honored for his service to our
country in WWII. We are so happy he was able to make this trip of a
lifetime. We celebrate his productive, faithful and happy life, and
honor him for his service in such perilous times. Our prayers are with
you today, Curly. Thank you!" My grandpa has always been a hero of mine and to ask him about his life and various things he's been through including the war would make for an awesome doc
A man named Curly deserves a documentary made about him. Your grandpa would make a very interesting doc. You could use lots of photos and stock footage for b-roll. It is also clear how Ben would make a good subject. You need a better angle for Matt. His wit may not translate to video in the same way it does in person. Define a way for his humor to shine like through his work with kids, his frat brothers, etc...
ReplyDeleteWWII vets make great documentary subjects, if you can get enough B-roll.
