Meeting and observing interesting folks sometimes makes one
want to do a story on them. One observes there subjects for a while, chats and
hangs out with them for a few days to get a perspective and routine into their
life.
Slowly a story starts to appear, (I would suggest this is
the time when one should suggest to there subject that they are considering
there subject for an potential movie)
Along the way subjects can and will fall sic or have
engagements, all of a sudden the subject might be flying to far off places for
treatment, meeting, throwing all thought and preparation into a mess, time to
make an herculean effort to get focus back to work on hand, deal with
disappointment of the interruption and if opportunity presents follow the
subject to where they have disappeared to, to get some B roll and get another
look at the subject.
Or to start on a parallel project while keeping this project
in mind, (it also makes one realize how attached were they to there subject ) always an good idea to carry a small camera
and keep shooting reference pictures and videos, ( sometimes could make it to
the final cut as B roll too)
Hope and looking at the bright things in life keeps one going, developing project after projects.
