Finding Lear P.2

By far the weakest aspect of my 50 minute doc is the first 5 minutes (or so).

Only today, did I take the brave step of hacking some of the early (intro stuff) off and starting on an actual scene (I'll tell you what scene when we get there).

Far too much talk in these opening sequences.

So, watch my mistakes and learn.

Having said that, I really love the laundry scene with Ben. He does a masterful job of not only introducing the other players, but also introducing the theme of the film (all while folding clothes!). In many ways, this is what I am always after: scenes out of real life that provide insight into both the characters and the doc as a whole.
