15 Minutes of Fame – Mockumentary
Runtime: 12:00
Genera – Comedy
Logline: “After receiving an opportunity for a gig bigger than ever before, a phony lead singer and his burnt-out band mates must perfect their craft before the big show, or crumble under the pressure.”
Why did I work on this project?
Music has always been a large part of my life, and I was also in a cover band in high school, so the story of young struggling musicians was one I could relate to. I was a fan of the extensive work put into the set dressing, costume design, and original songs, making this a project stand out visually and sonically. The filmmakers want to have me on board due to my experience cutting documentaries and my ability to condense and create story clarity.
Challenges I faced and overcame while working on this project.
- Insufficient coverage due to weather constraints
- Multiple camera formats and resolutions
- 12-minute deadline (original cut was over 20 minutes)
