"Story vs. Spectacle" - Audio Commentary - Short Film, Apocalypse: The ...

Here's the audio commentary for my third Apocalypse short.  As I explain in the video, I drew my inspiration for this one from director, Sam Mendes.



I breakdown how quickly I work on the fly when I see what I want, only doing 1-2 takes for a shot.  I compliment the very talented, Micah Parker on his additions to the character and to the scenes.  And, I forget the young acctresses name.  :)  Sorry, Savannah!



The second part of the video I go on a rant talking about Story vs. Spectacle and show an example of one piece of work I believe helps explain the difference.



I'm really trying to figure out how to portray what I mean when I tell people of a movie or a screenplay, "There is no story."  In my head, it makes perfect sense, but I'm realizing how untangible the word "story" is, so I want to try and explain it better to the audience when I talk about it.  Please enjoy!
