mood board
The following videos, films, links, images, etc all may have some influence on how this short film/documentary will be filmed, edited, and received by audiences. This list will fluctuate and eventually be narrowed down, based on input and ideas from CWC staff during pre-production meetings with Fadeout Media. Some of it isn’t at all related to what we are doing, but I just find something to be beautiful and inspiring. We will not be copying the work of others, just drawing inspiration from them and ensuring that our work both fits in stands out among other great works.
Fadeout Media’s Inspiration:
Beautifully filmed in nearby Malibu, this is one of my favorite edits. Both the trailer and the mini series itself. Its moving exploration of character growth and artistic vision is wonderfully done
Saw this a couple years ago at The Topanga Film Festival. The filming and editing are incredible, and the story arc and character development are enthralling.
I’ve yet to see this actual film but the trailer keeps showing up in my Youtube algorithm and I. love how it looks and feels.
In my old mid-western life I did a lot of filming and photography with a close friend named Frank. He works for the Army Corps and we’ve captured restoration sites around the midwest. Frank showed me this incredible film and how USACE is slowly adapting….
I don’t believe in ghosts but this is some of the finest architectural and interior filmmaking
this trailer is ok but the film itslef is some of the finest cinematography I’ve ever seen. I don’t think it dangerous to expect our film be just as beautiful even with smaller scope and budget.
This is one of my favorite documentaries ever. I weep every time I watch it. To dedicate ones work to worthy causes and have a lasting impact on others, is a dream for many creatives. It’s not lost on me the opportunity presented to me through this project; a chance to create my finest work about a subject that is a huge part of my life.
I could add a dozen more including anything with David Attenborough as narrator, but I so love tis bird doc on Netflix, its so fun and lively. I also strongly agree with other comps shared below!
Here are a series of random things I saw on Instagram that I found to have one or several inspiring qualities both technically and creatively. (Copy and paste links)
