Always helpful to start with the questions first! 

Intrigued by this footage, are you shooting about the process or the man?

good point!

it's about the man. the footage supports the story - shot these scenes with the phone between breaks. we will still record him talking as well. maybe that's the missing part that connects everything.

okay so character focused doc, with self-narration as a guide via your recorded conversations with him?

initially, yes. with longer scenes as well just with the scenes and the sounds captured at the moment. i'm thinking about building something around those sounds as well. not sure yet.

that’s awesome input! thank you so much! 

idk yet what can be the hook tbh. the story is always something that i relate to and focus on, as it’s personal. i have only hints of it as we haven’t yet sat down to talk in a more structured way. there will be a space for it for sure. for now, i just think that there might be some ‘rhythm’ with these raw, building sounds — which relates to music, but not really with this particular instrument. i need to go deeper into the other days and see what’s there.

ideas flowing in a sea of confusion atm. part of the process i suppose.

Sounds really intriguing. It also sounds like you have a good vision; story balanced with moments to enjoy the raw sounds and the visuals. 

I'd imagine the other scenes you captured (like this one) speak volumes, along with the sounds. 

In my experience, the hardest part of something like this is crafting a narrative with the interview audio, so we'd start there for something with a hook to grab the viewer - something bold. From there, we'd try to find a rhythm to tease out the rest of the story with the balance of moments that stand on their own
