Making films “the old-fashioned way.”
May 13th, 2009 by Peter D. Marshall
Read this article from Ron Steinman.
“I start shooting a new documentary in May. The subject is mental health, but this essay is not about that film as a film but how I still will make films in what I call “the old-fashioned way.” The way I know best. By film I mean any motion picture whether on acetate or video.
I use the word film to define storytelling that combines words, pictures, ambient sound and music. I care about pacing, tone and narrative coherence. I care about the emotion conveyed in the way that only film can because of its many-faceted approach to storytelling.”
