Guess what? My rejection arrived safely from Raw Nerve. The nerve of them to send such a polite rejection slip! Nevermind, a filmmaker becomes so immune to such things that being accepted by anything tastes ten times sweeter. Below I have created the "Making of Errol Flynn's Pianist" using Voicethread. The reason for doing so in this way was because during the shoot we had digital camera to capture some behind the scenes footage but because we were so pushed for time we shot very little. I was lucky enough to have Ben Richards on board playing the role of Orson Welles and he happens to be a professional photographer and so took about sixty snaps during the shoot. I then decided to be creative and use them with the commentary by the cast and crew, as well as myself. This is only very fresh at the moment and I've only just sent out invitations to cast and crew to comment, so it will hopefully grow into a full blown 'making of' document.The advantage of using the Digital Story medium
A pianist was hired to play background music for a movie.When it was completed he asked when and where he could see the picture. The producer sheepishly confessed that it was actually a porno film and it was due out in a month.A month later, the musician went to a porno theatre to see it. With his collar up and dark glasses on, he took a seat in the back row, next to a couple who also seemed to be in disguise.The movie was even raunchier than he had feared, featuring group s@x, S/M and even a dog.After a while, the embarrassed pianist turned to the couple and said, "I'm only here to listen to the music.""Yeah?" replied the man. "We're only here to see our dog."
